Adarius Washington is going to end up replacing Geno for our 3 safety looks 🔥

[@CJ-xw5gk]

That would be 🔥 we will be locking things down in the secondary

[@beerman2556]

Wide receiver is the sexy pick but Wiggins was the right pick here.

[@UnreliableFuture]

my theory is the falcons already know they’re going to lose multiple draft picks for tampering so they got a QB now

[@majinbull17]

Only WRs left worth drafting are Coleman and Micthell, who likely won't be there. Polk, Burton, Walker, McConkey, etc aren't worth more than a 4th at best and can't be expected to be the WR2 we need this year. But we have to just stick our heads in the sand and pretend that Bateman won't get injured and that he will double his production (which is a low bar considering that would be just 800yards.) But whatever we're not allowed to criticize the Ravens because this fan base is very cult-like.

[@homes500]

Not just that the team is in desperate need of oline help. If they don't take anyone day 2 Lamar is going to get killed.

[@Izzyrd_]

@@homes500 PLENTY of guys available at OL and WR on day 2. same can't be said about CB. it's easily the right pick based on how the rest of the draft pool looks after pick 30

[@homes500]

@Izzyrd_ If you were to go corner Dejean was the better pick in my opinion but I guess we'll just have to see how this pick unfolds. Gotta say though least excited I've been for a pick since Perriman and Elam.

[@Izzyrd_]

@@homes500 i respect your opinion but why go dejean when we literally have kyle hamilton doing what he would do in our defense, except better? dejean is a good player but he doesn’t complement what we have defensively. wiggins gives us an outside guy (who already put on 10 pounds since the combine so his weight won’t be a problem) with great instincts, potentially the best cover corner in the draft with sub 4.3 speed. him and stephens on the outside, bump marlo into the slot. we’re in business

[@homes500]

​@Izzyrd_ Wiggins speed is definitely what gives me hope. With the Cheifs drafting Worthy we're going to need someone with similar speed. Like I said, it's not who I wanted but I will give him a chance. Day 2 has to be oline or WR.

[@clarencenichols8813]

You can't teach speed. The young man has great recovery speed and good height. However, at 170 pounds ? Against some of these bigger wide receivers would definitely have to make a BIG adjustment in the weight room. Remember this AFC North, not the ACC. Welcome to the big boy league.

[@majinbull17]

On defense they won't risk having a single hole within the next 2-3yrs. On offense they are always willing to have 2-3 massive holes THIS YEAR. We're **STILL** wasting Lamar. Tired of doing the same thing every year and expecting different results.

[@WolverineTradez]

Yes Nate was the right pick. EDC and gang did a. Great job as always.

[@shocktrauma85]

No matter who they picked there was gonna be the Keyboard GMs bitching about it. Corner and oline were top needs. They went best available for need. Wiggins is a really good pick in that spot. They need someone who can help neutralize top passing attacks. Wiggins will help with that.

[@neivemcintosh5432]

Ok I’m a keyboard heads let’s see defense is never our issue in the playoffs. We average 13.2 offensively and give up 13.9 in the payoffs since 2019. We need offensive weapons.

[@neivemcintosh5432]

Sorry for the typos

[@nannarav8754]

It was a very hard four hours to watch other teams get better, better and better with all of the many tackles just fly off the board, but the crusher was watching the KS Chief get Mahomes another awesome weapon that would've feel to us if they hadn't jumped us in the draft for the better pick.😮

[@tymonster183]

They wouldn't have taken worthy.

[@williejohnson5172]

Once the Chiefs took Worthy, Wiggins became a lock.

[@georgekeeney3088]

Corner blitz with his speed he is knocking the ball out before qb knows he is coming! Go back and look at his highlights...he may not have the INT's but he is punching that ball out like marlo's fruit punch!

[@stevow7442]

Get the best RT in the draft Christian Jones. Then, double up with a developmental LT like Kiran or Rosengarten. Our Oline would be set for 4yrs.

[@georgekeeney3088]

I think we will take 2 tackles...i think the organization is more comfortable at guard then the media is with voorhees & cleveland & even falelle... I believe tackle and reciever on day 2!

[@RobinHood-pf2bf]

Day 2 priority? My guess is RT whether 2nd or 3rd round and possibly edge. Buy my only guy I like in these rounds is Jonah Ellis or Mohamad Kamara

[@sportislife4012]

Have a look at Austen Booker as well- there is potential there Round 2 - only like Trice and Kneeland- both will be gone tbh

[@tymonster183]

Marshall kneeland is a nice player

[@justincarson5659]

I'd like to see Joe Milton to be Lamar's backup

[@georgekeeney3088]

Reminds me of Deion!

[@RobinHood-pf2bf]

Take WR is round 4

[@joshuaweinbender6075]

Well only about 30% of players drafted in the first round are a success Wiggens leaves nothing interesting or special typical ravens draft ...defense on the bright side he will be a good return man overall bust is my prediction for Wiggens and a waste of a pick
