Chris Borland... I just don't think 1-dimensional run-stuffing LBs are worth that much anymore. You can pick up UDFAs and veterans to exclusively play the early downs in the NFL. Borland will be great at what he does /w the run, but in coverage I just don't see him being able to follow a RB or TE.

I do love Devin Street. He does everything well: strong reliable hands, runs good routes, he's tall. If he could have run a faster 40, he'd be in 1st round consideration. The QB play to start his career was bad too iirc (although you could blame that on the O-line if you want, since I see you have Savage as a sleeper). Ravens hired Pitt's WR coach to be their WRs coach, so maybe they'll give Street a shot later in the draft... I hope.

Allen Robinson sleeper WR


Robinson will total 900 yards, 70 rec, and 2 TD during his 5 year pro career. He is my least-favorite WR projected in the first 3 rounds.

Mike Davis is a solid WR. He never had a good QB in his career, he had Garrett Gilbert his freshmen season, probably the worst college QB I've ever seen, Ash and Case in his sophomore season, Ash in 2012 (decent, but nothing special), and Case McCoy last year. If anyone manages to grab him in the 5-6 round, he'll be a steal.

I like Robert Herron, dude destroyed Texas with 173 yards and 2 TDs, but then again our defense was AWFUL that year.

Marcus Smith is a very good player, he'll be a steal in the 3rd round.

Don't think Seantrel Henderson will ever amount to anything in the NFL, he just doesn't care about football IMO.


Ravens have been very interested in Mike Davis. Interviewed him at the combine and senior bowl.

Even Lamar doesn't think Seantrel Henderson will be that good. He's a project, one that will probably fail because he can't stay motivated.

Yeah, don't think Borland is all that special and worth a 2nd round pick. He's a run stuffing LBer, and a small one at that. I think players like Christian Jones and Skov are going to be better.

You can even get scrubs like Paul Worillow to do what Borland does rofl

Well to support your crazyness, Ravens have showed interest in Borland at the senior bowl and his combine.

But we have too many needs to be drafting LBs the first 2 days of the draft.

If I have time I think I might do perfect first 3 rounds for each team.
