Streeter is not the WR I wanted...not by a long shot, but there's no denying his value at the bottom of the 6th round. Like Hill, his body-of-work is short, but if you go to the third link above and pull up Hill's information (by entering his name over on the right side at that same link), you'll see that there's no compelling reason why there's 28 "scouts grading points" between them.

As for not taking a WR earlier, I look at it this way...we don't actually have a hole at WR, so despite many of our strong feeling about gettting a stud, the front office didn't see it that way. This is only confusing and frustrating in that it contradicts what was said at the EOS presser and via other public forums/media. Nonetheless...
- Our 2nd and 3rd rounders filled actual holes (Grubbs and Ricky).
- Our 4th rounder? Apparently, other excellent FO's (PIT and NE at least) had him ranked as the #1 center in the draft. And if he can play G as well then you just gotta get a kid like that. Quality C and G depth was a big hole.
- Our other 4th? A thumper at the FS position for which we have no depth. Recall how nervous were last month when Nak and Zibby went away? So here you go FS depth and special teams in one pick.
- Asa Jackson in the 5th? WRT to the fan base, how many DReed (as KR/PR) defenders are out there? DReed is a bit of a liability (physically and with his play), yes? This pick addresses that. WRT to the FO, covering CB depth and KR/PR competition in one move = no-brainer

Streeter will compete for the #3 this summer and if he earns it than that we have two serious match-up problems (TSmith) whenever we go 3WR. If he doesn't secure the #3 or there's not clear separation between Street and the #3, then he'll most certainly be used in RZ packages...a nut we haven't cracked since Michael Jackson went away. Overall, I'm really looking forward to seeing how performs in August.

Good stuff BPR, i watched everything i could find on Streeter last night and i left feeling close to the same way i would have felt about Steven Hill. Streeter has a smooth stride to him, a little fliudness to him but will need lots of work as a route runner. If they can play to his strengths early while the rest of his game catches up he could be a huge help in the Redzone passing game.

I like the Ravens draft and looking forward to see Streeter and Smith as wideouts and Boldin in the slot. That's a great way to open up the middle - for both the passing game and the running game.

I think Doss will beat out Streeter for the #3 receiver.

I do as well, im thinking Streeter maybe becomes an option in the redzone and a situation deep threat year 1

**leachisabeast** · 04-29-2012, 10:18 AM

Good thread, and I have to say I honestly think Streeter has a real chance of beating out Doss for the #3 receiving spot. He has been playing with a inconsistent QB, you put him through a full offseason with a legit pro NFL QB who is just about 6'7 and is best when throwing deep balls, when you have Torrey Smith running down the other side, you could see Streeter making faster progression than expected.

**Ravenswintitle** · 04-29-2012, 10:18 AM

could have issues once teams start to get in his face at the line of scrimmage.

That's a problem for a lot of rookie WRs but if he can overcome it, he has a real shot. Teams are getting bigger physical corners now to press and the young WRs struggle with it

I agree. Also, I'm pissed that the Ravens didn't try to trade up in the 6th to get McNutt. I sincerely think that if they gave up their 7th, they could have moved up enough to pass the Eagles and grab him (I know, they never would have known if the Eagles would have selected him) . They could always have gotten additional D line help in undrafted players after the draft.

Wicked, at that point in the draft, if they traded their 7th pick to move up, how many spots could they have moved up in the 6th and would it have been enough to move ahead of the Eagles?

**deuce** · 04-29-2012, 10:29 AM

Prefer taking Streeter in the 6th than Stephen Hill with what would have been the Upshaw pick. Would anyone really be stunned if he turns out to be the better pro? And if he flames out he was a 6th round pick, who cares. He has all of the physical tools, hopefully he has the work ethic and coachability to get there.

**SouthSide** · 04-29-2012, 11:16 AM

After looking at the highlights, I like his hands and that he can catch in traffic. But of course, these are the "highlights". Whether he beats Doss or not, I'm sure this guy will find his way on to the field is he lives up to his highlight reel.

I hope the Ravesn give this guy (and all our rookies) a chance in preseason. What I mean is, get these these guys in with the 1st team when possible, and playing agaist 1st team opponents. That way they really know what these new Ravens can and can't do. Same with the younger Ravens who only played sparringly (ie: Doss, LaQuan, etc.).

**bmore finest** · 04-29-2012, 11:17 AM

I like doss and hope we can open the playbook for all the players for joe to Suceed. Streeter i hope pans out, but really gald we got a jump ball guy finally for another red zone target. Hope he gets to bmore and start working now!

**BigPlayReceiver** · 04-29-2012, 11:26 AM

I hope Doss beats out Streeter as well b/c I want value out of last year's 4th rounder.
Also, for intangible reasons, I want Joe to be "right" on his assessment of Doss.

Not that it matters too, too much, but here is something to chew on.

Stephen Hill, regarded as the #4 WR in the draft (believe he was actually taken as sixth WR)

6-4/215, 40 yard dash high: 4.48 40 yard dash low:4.28 composite 40 time: 4.36 225 bench reps: 14 Vertical: 39.5

2011 stats:
G-13
Recep-28
Yds-820
TD-5

Tommy Streeter, late 6th rounder: 6-5, 219, 40 yard dash high: 4.54 40 yard dash low: 4.30 40 yard dash composite: 4.40 225 reps-17 Vertical-33

2011 Stats:

G:12
Recep: 46
Yards: 811
TD:8

Both players competed in the same conference. I'm not stating Streeter>Hill, but I don't think Hill is 4 1/2 rounds better than Streeter. We heard raves about Hill's athleticism. What about Streeters? Hill soared up draft board based on a very limited body of work and supreme athleticism. Streeter's actual body of work at the college level was better and he compares decently with Hill, so I'm scratching my head why he was evaluated so much lower.

I think Streeter in late round six is a much better gamble than Hill at early-to-mid 2nd round.

**rharris1986** · 04-29-2012, 05:26 PM

A Pittsburgh perspective on Streeter - pulled this off a Steelers board this afternoon:

"Baltimore getting Streeter hurts. it would have been a great steal for the Steelers to get Streeter in the 7th to culminate a draft of steals for them.

This guy might not catch many and be inconsistent but it will only take one catch a game, the right catch to win games for the Ravens. That seems to be their thing now. Play defense and shoot for some home runs during the game. If they hit on a couple that's enough to win no matter how bad their offense plays to that point."

Ravens picked Streeter in the 6th round. That is value defined.

He'll spend the 2012 campaign on PS because he doesn't even have BASIC route tree concepts yet. He has tremendous potential, but so did our dearly departed #87 Demetrius Williams. That kid coulda been a contenda too.

No chance he even sniffs the practice squad. He'd be snatched up in a second.

He'll make the final 53.

The LBs and WRs in this draft are pretty Deep IMO.
I could see the Ravens looking at OL, Safety,THEN LB, and then looking at a large-target WR like Tommy Streeter from The U late in the 5th or 6th round.

If Tommy Streeter is available at the end of the 5th round, I'll stop posting for a month.

I won't hold you to it, but dang!

I'm liking the draft a little bit, aren't you?!

I would take Demetrius's rookie year production from Streeter this year 10 times out of 10... Hopefully if that's the case it doesn't wind up being Tommy's best season of his career though hah.

And he's definitely gonna be on the roster
