Is Trevor Penning Still a First-Round Option? | Ravens Final Drive

@chico lee no 3 down back what I said or thought I said. Breece is that kind of back that’s why I said Gus and jk are good but they ain’t no Johnathan Taylor type back. Breece is that kind of back my bad if I typed 3rd as in if 3rd down only that was a typo. Hell naw that boy a dog and w.e team he goes to is gonna be happy. Spiller is good but he ain’t that Taylor type I’m talking about. Hall is that bruh, look at our division we now got the worst group of backs. We need Hall not another Gus or JK type, Spiller would still require a 3rdndown back in the NFL. Hall NFL ready. There is a difference to me just from the tape.

@chico lee imma check out more tape on spiller though, he would be a good pick if available after the second and we still need to drat a back.

@Bookie mane I think if ravens didn’t hv so many more pressing needs, Hall would be in play. Bills might grab him in first round

@B Camm we can make it happen. Davis and Hall would be solid. I’d hate to see another AFC team get his services. We got all three rb coming off big injuries. Hall would be a better addition than any wr we could reach for. We can trade down in the first if possible to get Davis then move up in the second to get hall. Make it happen EDC!

@Bookie mane lol. You would be a bold GM…

@GoldLion198 Again, all i’m asking is for you or anyone else to prove it. Don’t just say he could be this or could be that. What has he shown in the pass rush department on film? I don’t want to sound down on the kid because I think he’s great at what he does which is stop the run. However if we’re crying after every game about getting interior pass rush, why draft someone who’s never shown it so high and hope he can develop into what we need? Are we in love with the actual play style or the crazy combine performance and potential of what he might be one day?

@Ravensfan23 * Right I don’t want him as the first round pick

@Ravensfan23 * ravens drafted Oweh off potential who was an edge with zero sacks. Davis does the dirty work man and will make other guys jobs easier.

@Ravensfan23 * Just like Ngata, who wasn’t much of a pass rush threat most of his career, you don’t draft guys like Ngata and Davis to put up stats. You draft guys like that to swallow blockers and make the guys behind him better. That’s exactly why Ray asked the FO to draft Ngata, remember?
Drafting Davis gives us an elite run stuffer, a guy who can also help contain these mobile QBs, and along with Pierce and Calaias, would give us a literal 1000lb wrecking crew.

@Ravensfan23 * He can improve, would be taking a gamble on an elite level athlete, who could be an elite player. apparently he slimmed down and got stronger for the combine

Dang….

thats tuff man rip to your doggo brodie 🙏🏽 hope it gets better fr 💯

No, not a tough call. He’s used upper body strength against weaker college players to mask poor technique on pass defense. As for “playing tough”, his tough play in college is called a 15 yard personal foul in the NFL. Overrated for Ravens. Lindebaum from Iowa smart skilled, but too small for our O-line and not an easy transition to guard if needed. Look for the Center from Kentucky in 3rd or 4th round to shore up interior line. That said we do need another OT who’s not just big.

@Stuart Schwartz I think he’d be a mistake to assume the kid can’t compete with better talent. However I don’t completely disagree with you view of him. But I still think the kid has the potential to develop into a top RT in the NFL. #14 is way too high but mid 20s is not imo. Funny you mention Luke Fortner. I literally just used the UK vs UGA game to show someone how Jordan Davis is just an elite 1 down player. Fortner had his issues in that game but held up overall. Honestly I think the Ravens have enough developmental interior guys. If they are gonna address the Center position I’d much rather it be Kenyon Green or Zion Johnson. Either guy would immediately be our best option at LG day 1 and slide over to Center next year imo. If we miss on either, I wouldn’t mind Fortner but only in the 4th or 5th. We should be looking for impact in the 3rd not another development guy unless he’s a OT who slipped.

I think the only option the Ravens have for a day 1 starter at LT in this draft is hoping Cross falls to #14 if that’s the route they want to go. I love your idea to trade back because there really isn’t only 1 or maybe 2 who i’d personally feel confident in saying no matter where they are drafted they’ll be great. So trading down to get more players in a deep draft is smart imo. If they are going the Oline route, I’d much rather a guy like Kenyon Green or Zion Johnson to sure up that interior of the oline for years to come and then sign a Vet as insurance for Stanley if that is a concern for them. If you’re going developmental LT, i think 2-4 round is a better value.

In my opinion that tackle i’d move to left guard while making the solid BEN CLEVELAND the RG over Kevin zietler whom im witness to him not being the best Run blocker where he excels at is sealing defenders off in pass pro and while highlights of his will always be highlights i dont see him on the team during post june 1st cuts in my opinion.

You can add Braxton Jones and Nicholas Petit Frere. If the Ravens weren’t comfortable with Stanley’s progress they should have added a vet not a developmental 1st rounder.

@Ravensfan23 * you right forgot about them two I like them too

Man’s a penalty machine in the making
