Croskey-Merritt might become the theme two drafts in a row on day three.

I still think we should move up and get value at the back end of Round 4.
Me too but I was so braced for him to be gone by the 5th round, that he was already dismissed in my mind.
For what player?

The 1st Round Pick
with the addition of White and Ford in the RB room, it seems like the potential ROI on a 5th or 6th round RB seems a lot lower than a high upside CB, S, or WR though. this assumes there are any players considered to be "high upside", of course. is a RB something that has to be addressed this year or are we solid enough to put off for a higher caliber RB next year, is my question.

Not only that but they make bad draft trades as well. The Ravens just sit and let the talent fall to them every single year.

Jalon Kilgore.

The Starter
Yeah he is a good runner. But, as KDawg is saying, he is a little raw and not really a complete back. He isn’t great in the passing game, sometimes misses his hole, and has had some fumbles. I do love his athleticism and his story though, and I hope he continues to grow and develop. He is an exciting player to watch when he gets around the edge or into open space.
We are definitely in a RBBC situation, and while I like our guys well enough, we could use a more complete starter or extra competition in the room. I could see us taking a RB today.

I think Center has the best value left on the board right now. Lew, Brailsford, Hecht and Coogan all still available.

Dennis-Sutton is still sitting there, Muhammad and a bunch of corners
9. DANI DENNIS-SUTTON, Penn State (6-5 ½, 259, 4.60, 2-3): Blew out the combine with a fast 40 and edge bests in the broad jump (10-11) and 3-cone (6.90). “He’s really talented,” said one scout. “Big, strong, fast. The guy can be a starter at defensive end. If you watch him drop you’d say this guy definitely can be a starter as a 3-4 outside guy. He can be hard to coach. Kind of my way is the way.” Played extensively all four seasons, finishing with 127 tackles (34 ½ for loss), 23 ½ sacks, seven forced fumbles and eight batted passes. “He’s got personality quirks, if you want to call it that, where he kind of marches to his own drum,” a second scout said. “He’ll go two or three, probably three.” Arms were 33 ½, hands were 10 1/8. Persistent knee problems remain a concern. “There was so much hype on him two years ago,” a third scout said. “I watched him, I didn’t like him. Last year, I didn’t like him at all. This year, I thought he played a lot better. Solid player. Don’t think he’s going to be a dynamic pass rusher. I think he lived off of last year when (Abdul) Carter flushed a lot of things and he cleaned it up. This year, they had another young kid (Chaz Coleman) and he was the beneficiary of some of that. He’ll play in the league for a long time.” Four-star recruit from Millsboro, Del. Added a fourth scout: “Good speed and acceleration, very quick hands and some nice moves. Occasional starter initially and then I could see him fitting in just about any kind of defense.”

11. WILL LEE, Texas A&M (6-1 ½, 189, 4.54, 2-3): Spent 2021-’22 at a junior college, redshirting the first year and playing the second year. Started nine of 11 games at Kansas State in 2023 before starting for the Aggies in 2024-’25. “Size, speed, explosive,” said one scout. “Moves well. If you watch him play against fast receivers in the SEC he’s stride for stride with them. So no matter what he ran at the combine all the fast guys he can run with. You see him do it. Probably around the third round, but I might move him up to the second. There’s gonna be a run (on cornerbacks), and he’s gonna be right in the middle of that run.” Finished with 134 tackles, four picks, 24 passes defensed and two forced fumbles. “He tested and jumped high,” a second scout said. “He was sort of a testing freak at the combine.” Had a vertical jump of 42 and an 11-0 broad jump that led the position. Arms were 32 ¾. From Kirkwood, Mo.
12. TACARIO DAVIS, Washington (6-4, 192, 4.41, 3): Tallest corner in the draft. “If Pete Carroll’s in the league he’s all over him,” said one scout. “Huge on the edge. He looks like an NFL player.” Spent three years at Arizona, starting in the final two. Led the Pac-12 Conference with 15 passes defensed in 2023. Started seven games in 2025 for the Huskies before a hamstring injury ended his season. “If the right defensive coordinator sees him as a fit because they want to play (press) this dude is going to be an easy third-round pick and start his rookie year,” said a second scout. “It all will depend on where he goes. There’s no real red flags with him. He has such a unique body type. He will tackle and has some toughness. I don’t think he has any safety potential. There are some snaps where he looks great and some snaps where he looks like a backup. He goes ahead of (teammate Ephesians) Prysock.” Given his height, it was logical that his arms (33 3/8) would be the longest among the corners. “He has straight-line speed,” a third scout said. “He benefits from being in press and getting his hands on receivers early.” Finished with 95 tackles, three picks, 25 passes defensed and no forced fumbles. “He’s a little bit better player overall than Prysock as far as covering people,” a fourth scout said. “He can run. The problem is he’s like all the Seattle guys. They’re space-eaters and you can use them in that scheme, but it’s just if he has to do it outside of that scheme. Can he do it?” Three-star recruit from Long Beach, Calif. “Ball skills are questionable,” a fifth scout said. “I see him missing some opportunities for picks. He didn’t play a lot of special teams. That was a problem in the past, too. I’m betting on the come with him. He was banged up all this year so it’s hard to get a good read on him. He has all the traits.”
THE NEXT FIVE
Keith Abney, Arizona State (5-10, 188, 4.47)
Said one scout: “Two-year starter. Good enough speed. Adequate play strength. He’s got the length to press. He’s going to be really good at that and man (coverage). Reads and reacts well. Good tackler. Consistent. I had him in the fourth but he may ascend to the third.”
Malik Muhammad, Texas (6-0, 188, 4.45)
Said one scout: “He actually performed better (at the combine) than I thought he would. I never thought he was going to run in the 4.4’s. He’ll probably rise because he is extremely intelligent and he’s played a lot of football (three years, 29 starts). He’s really wiry. He’s not all that sudden or twitchy but the guy knows football better than a lot of (players) I talked to this spring. So I could see him getting into the fourth round.”

Saints and Dolphins have another 30 picks each in the back end of the round. We can make a deal and move up for one of those picks.

The 1st Round Pick
are you including Lattimore, Deebo, and Tunsil trades in this or just referring to draft day trades where they move up and down? if it's the latter, there was only the trade with the eagles and it was a trade down, not chasing. so it seems like "let talent fall to them" doesn't really apply in this case. the previous years are not the fault of the current regime.
7. JALON KILGORE, South Carolina (6-1 ½, 216, 4.38, 2-3): Third-year junior with 33 starts in 36 games. “I’d put him at safety because he’s not really instant quickness covering man-to-man,” one scout said. “Seattle would have taken him (in the 2010s) and made him a press corner and punch people at the line of scrimmage and get deep in (Cover 3) zone. I liked the player a lot last year. He doesn’t really have a great position fit but I’d see him settling in at safety.” Voted the Gamecocks’ co-defensive MVP in 2025. “He’s interesting because he’s kind of in the same mold as the guy (Nick Emmanwori) who plays for Seattle now,” a second scout said. “He’s more of a big nickel than anything. I don’t know if he plays that well all the time but just because (Emmanwori) played so well teams will view him kind of in the same way. He could be called a safety, a linebacker, a corner. He’ll hit you. He matches up because he can run, but you don’t see him locking people down as a cover guy.” Shared the best broad jump at 10-10. Arms were 32 7/8. “He’s a physical nickel with some speed,” a third scout said. “He was a junior that wasn’t expected to declare. He’s an intriguing guy, but South Carolina is always a crapshoot. You never know what you’re going to get out of there. I thought he was third round.” Finished with 178 tackles (4 ½ for loss), eight picks, 21 passes defensed and one forced fumble. Returned 12 punts for 6.2. “I didn’t like him at all,” said a fourth scout. “Stiff, kind of a tweener. He can tackle but his coverage isn’t what you’d like. Seems like every time they threw at him they completed a pass.” From Eatonton, Ga., where he was state long-jump champion (23-7) and also played basketball.
