42 and 122 for 53, 77, and 192

Not my favorite trade, frankly. But not awful. Just fine. They still have 59.....

[Vanimal46]

Didn’t know we brought on a wanna be stand up comic to test out his 10 min set before saying the pick…

[Mike Sixel]

I would have taken Booth in round 1....so, yay!

A starting CB, starting S, and pick 59 and move up from 192 to 172.....

[gunnarthor]

Booth was a really good pick, glad they got him.

Yup, 59 and 66 to keep it going.  We basically have our two big secondary holes filled.

Now?  Front 7.

Booth was @Danchat's guy in the mocks too I think right?

[Danchat]

I like moving down and then up for one of my favorite CBs in the draft... so we have 1 more 2nd and 3rd, and we picked up a 4th?

I don’t like injury prone DBs, but I suppose he’s pretty good value there.

Still trying to figure out all the trade strategy here though.

Yup, I think we have 59, 66, 122, and then all our later stuff.

Ojabo and Hamilton added to the Ravens defense is a terrifying thought.

Yeah, not sure if the QB is happy but I always think of them as a Defense-first team anyway. Both feel like Raven-type players.

[TheLeviathan]

Lots of good players left!

[Vanimal46]

13 WRs in the first 55 picks. That HAS to be a record.

Crazy. 

[Danchat]

My draft board right now:
QB Malik Willis
LB Nakobe Dean
DT Travis Jones
LB Chad Muma
LB Leo Chenal
ED Drake Jackson
QB Desmond Ridder
QB Matt Corral
QB Sam Howell

The WRs that are still left:
Jalen Tolbert
Calvin Austin III
Khalil Shakir
Romeo Doubs
Bo Melton
David Bell

The well is pretty dry after the first couple WRs...

Could Dean fall to us? I was willing to take him at 32 or 34.

[Vanimal46]

I’d lean towards Chanel, Dean, or Travis Jones. 

[Vanimal46]

Not familiar with this pick. 

[Danchat]

Not a fan of Ingram, I had a 4th round grade on him. Seems to imply that Wyatt Davis is not going to be around long.

Also, just saw this... I did not hear this:

 

[Mike Sixel]

I feel he would have been there later.....not a big fan.

Well, they should not have drafted him. OTOH.....he might have ben a senior, and she / he was also and not yet 18...but, ya, I would have passed on him.

[TheLeviathan]

Yeah...not a fan of that pick with some of the defenders still on the board

I guess he was 16 and they were under 14.

They will have explaining to do on that.  Really not liking that choice.

[TheLeviathan]

Asamoah is a freak athlete....but what the hell is up with Dean?

[Danchat]

Finally, a QB goes. Ridder profiles as a lesser Marcus Mariota... so of course, the Falcons drafted him. Not sure why they don't give Willis a shot, but I guess everyone thinks he's too raw.

Asamoah is fine, but I would have liked Travis Jones (not sure why he didn't go in the second) and a few other names. 

[Vanimal46]

This is also a terrible response to it by the way. I don’t know if I’ll like this guy while he’s a Viking.
