Game Over...Lamar Jackson...Ravens

[Slapstick]

Watch and wait...Lamar Jackson will be the bane of our existence.

...just like Johnny Manziel...

...just like Johnny Manziel...

Lmao. Yeah, this is hilarious. It will be fun to watch regardless of how he turns out. Flacco is on the clock.

Manziel always came with an asterisk...I believe the quote was if he doesn't drink or snort his way out of the league. Johnny had all the talent with a two cent head. Jackson will be a very tough guy to deal with for years to come...and he won't snort or drink his way out of the league.

Best QB in the draft? Best running QB by far, but not a franchise QB by any stretch.

Franchise QB is left to be seen obviously. But, Jackson has all the tools to be a thorn in the side of the Steelers for years to come...and not just because of his feet. The guy can throw.

Vince Young? LMAO.. Jackson is nothing like Vince Young.. oh wait.

Could it be because...? Nah

and truth be told. While Vince wasn't the best passer he still went 30-17 as a starter. Jeff Fisher is a QB killer. He almost killed Goeff's careere before he was fired

He’s an inaccurate passer. No worries. Who cares how strong his arm is if he can’t hit his target? AKA Michael Vick.

it will be interesting seeing how we defend him. Should be exciting to watch. I envision many frustrating 3rd down conversions.

Michael Vick WAS a thorn in our side.....as was Tebow.......Butler still runs the same defense.....just sayin.

[MeetJoeGreene]

Two new QBs in AFCN for the Steelers D to feed on......

I think both Mayfield and Jackson have real bust potential. So, I was fairly happy that 2 of our division rivals selected them.

damn.. this is true as hell.

Vick always balled out vs us and Tebow.. no comment.

Point taken.

I like Mayfield (unfortunately) but definitely about Jackson. I'm trying to find the story about one OC who talked to Jackson and said Jackson has no concepts of offensive scheme and a dangerous lack of understanding defenses. Combine those with inaccuracy and you have a bust on your hands.

Maybe we shadow him with Edmunds?

The Ravens could have stayed put and landed an elite player like Tremaine Edmunds or Derwin James who both fell into their laps at #16 like manna from heaven, and they could have kept their 2nd round picks in 2018 and 2019. That would have been the smart move.

Instead they got trade happy and ended up with a TE who will turn 25 years old during his rookie training camp and an inaccurate running QB.

Ultimately, when you put all three of their trades together, this is what Baltimore gave up last night:

1.16 (LB Tremaine Edmunds)
2.52
2nd round pick in 2019
5.154
6.215

And this is what Baltimore got back:
1.25 (TE Hayden Hurst)
1.32 (QB Lamar Jackson)
3.65
4.132

I'd much rather have a mid-first stud (especially when two legit top 10 talents fell into your lap), plus two 2nd round picks and a 4th and a 5th, as opposed to a couple of late first round prospects with flaws (an old TE and an inaccurate running QB) plus a 3rd and a 4th.
