@Deuce1042 Yeah, I think the comp pick part of the video is the most compelling part. I probably agree with the overall point on that bit.
English
I feel like a lot of people are missing the point of that video (not you specifically Gordon).
If you're going to be a team that gets credit for maximizing the comp pick system by letting good players you draft walk then you need to hit on those picks.

Edge part of this discussion is fascinating because they tried to do it through the draft (top-60 picks on Oweh, Ojabo and Green in a three year span 🧵
English
@CoachEvans9 @Garnet478 I understand the point he's making. I'm just saying that if we're critical of them for not getting it right at edge through the draft, then I think them spending big on Hendrickson is the right move

@RavensAtLaw @AdamBMore If they can afford it on the cap this year, it saves them dead cap next year I think
English
@AdamBMore Exactly. Humphrey should not be playing on his existing contract.

What is that guy EDC doing

6 #Ravens players had contract triggers vest this weekend: Kyle Hamilton’s $17M 2027 salary is now guaranteed $9M of Travis Jones’ 2027 salary is now guaranteed $5M of Mark Andrews’ 2027 salary is now guaranteed Marlon Humphrey earned a $4M roster bonus Roquan Smith earned a $4M roster bonus Justice Hill earned a $250k roster bonus
English
Akheem Mesidor wouldn't be a typical Ravens first round pick given his age, but if they want an edge partner for Trey Hendrickson I think he's the ideal choice.

‼️MOCK DRAFT MONDAY‼️ ✍️ @PFF_Gordon pff.com/news/draft-202…

@PFF_Gordon How much do you think it would cost to jump the Chiefs to get Bain? (I think his floor is the Chiefs)
English
@ColeJacksonFB 😂 I think Vega ultimately could go before them too. This is gonna be such a weird draft outside of the top-5 I think though
English
@PFF_Gordon Mauigoa going one pick before them and Vega going to the Steelers would make me crumple to the floor
English
@henry_justin That could be it tbf.
I also think it's understated just how important the Madubuike injury was to their 2025 season.
English
@PFF_Gordon Maybe idk 🤔
I had taken the fact that he opened the edge discussion of the video with Smith & Judon walking as dating his critique back to 2019 (when EDC became GM)
But I could be wrong
English
Brett’s criticism isn’t that they got aggressive this offseason at the position, it’s the series of decisions they made it necessary. Those team-building decisions are what Brett critiques them for.
Gordon McGuinness@PFF_Gordon
But after that not working, they HAD to be aggressive this offseason at the position, and they have done that, so I think that’s good?
English
@henry_justin His criticism was mainly post 2023 though right? At which point, I don't know which of the edges they have let go I would have retained.
Clowney for sure, outside of that though?
English
@PFF_Gordon Drafting edges top 60 is fine, but failing to retain talent and being cheap&old at the position is bad for team-building.
English
@_Beast_Coast Bain, R Mason Thomas, Mesidor, Jacas, TJ Parker at the top
English
@PFF_Gordon Hey Gordon, who are the top 10 players in CFB with 4th quarter sacks the last 2-3 years?
I know Cashius Howell has to be up there, curious who else.
English
@BoreyMaggette @devpanchwagh I like Brett, think he’s one of the best football creators there is. Just disagree with a lot of his points. I do think the comp pick debate is interesting
English
@devpanchwagh @PFF_Gordon He just likes hearing himself talk…. Wrong all through the video 😂😂😂
English
@ravens4dummies That’s the part of the debate I think is fascinating. My lean is they are doing the right thing, but I’m only like 60/40 on it
English
@PFF_Gordon They’ve drafted good players who want great contracts at the end of the first round and haven’t wanted to pay them
English
But after that not working, they HAD to be aggressive this offseason at the position, and they have done that, so I think that’s good?
English
Oweh has neither a hit or a miss imo. Solid player but not a top player at the position.
Ojabo was a miss, and Green is TBD.
English
@HuddleItUpFilms I could be wrong, but I don't think Hecht, Slaughter and Lew make it to their 3rd round pick. Think the others will though, and some of them probably make it to day three
English
@PFF_Gordon Thanks Gordon! Haven't dug into other teams' needs so this is helpful.
Hecht, Jones, Slaughter, Zuhn, Lew & Burton all have the chance to be solid starters or better. Of course the Ravens won't love all of them but I'd be really surprised if all those guys go in the top 79.
English
I could list a couple more guys but this is the list!
Have to get your Guard in round two, Center in round three if you want to assure that you draft a guy you absolutely love.
Daniel Jeremiah@MoveTheSticks
You can find quality starting interior OL on day 2 in this draft. Some of my favorites here: Bisontis (A&M) Pregnon (OR) Rutledge (GT) Dunker (Iowa) Hecht (K State) Jones (Iowa)
