Draft / FA / Offseason Roster Moves (Merged)

**bmorecareful** · 01-07-2013, 08:58 PM

I was pretty sure Alabama was going to win this game, but I did NOT expect Notre Dame to just get completely destroyed. They'll roll over now.

In non-BCS Championship news... one of my favorite sleeper prospects declared for the draft today. San Diego State TE Gavin Escobar. 6'5 255, great athlete with fantastic hands. Another Gronkowski-esque "mismatch" player albeit not a fantastic blocker at this point.

Wicked, you look at him at all? He doesn't have the hype of Eifert but if the Ravens want a TE, he's a great option.

ND got away with at least 4 extremely close games where, I don't want to say they got "lucky", but the ball clearly bounced their way.

And basically all of their big name rivals had down years...USC, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue etc...and they struggled to beat most of them. Even thier "scheduled" big names were against teams that had down years...Miami and even OU who IMHO were a solid team, but were not a legit top 10 team where they were ranked most of the year.

The only "legit" top team they played this year was Stanford IMHO.

He's going to face better lines than this week in and week out in the NFL.

Best receiving TE I've watched this year. Very athletic. More so a Hernandez than a Gronk IMO but I get what you mean.

I like him but took him off our list b/c I'm over-valuing blocking for this Draft.

Yeah, he's not the freight train in the open field that Gronkowski is, much more elusive like Hernandez. He does have a good bit of experience playing up on the line although he also lined up out wide. I compared him to Gronkowski because if the Ravens drafted him, he would be the traditional in-line guy with Pitta playing the "move" role.

Escobar isn't a bad blocker, and he could get better. He's certainly not a 6th offensive lineman like Michael Williams or Dion Sims, though. Now Wicked has me thinking about what the Ravens could do with 2 super-athletic tight ends that can actually catch...

Would the Ravens give up on Dickson at this point? He's an RFA this year... would some TE-needy team ship us a 5th round pick for him?

**Justlovemybirds** · 01-07-2013, 09:28 PM

And there goes Notre Dame's momentum, why would you go to a guy whose going to be a 1st round pick in a few months.

**iggyman555** · 01-07-2013, 09:28 PM

lacy really reminds me of trich with his running style

i think kelly been hanging out with scam cameron last month

RE: Notre Dame's game plan.

Wow...I don't think they could have had a worse game plan.

Repeatedly going after a top 10 CB in this coming draft...nothing but 9 routes.

They are COMPLETELY ignoring the middle of the field, not doing any combo pass routes, no scheming here to help your QB and WR's out...when they are CLEARLY outmanned as far as talent.

Looks like Kelly was just stubborn and stupidly thought that they could just come in here and have his WR's outrun Bama's secondary.

This is a horrible, horrible game plan.

**Ravenswintitle** · 01-07-2013, 09:30 PM

Worse playcalling I've seen and I've seen some bad ones

Outmanned, out coached, outclassed

**bmorecareful** · 01-07-2013, 09:33 PM

The worst thing is, Brian Kelly is going to do like he always does--scream at the players, blame everyone but him, and get away with it. Such an idiot and a low-class human being.
