Wasnt you one of the tank for Teddy guys?  You would of passed on Mack for a guy taken with the last pick in the first.  I like what the Ravens have done, Ozzie Newsom has been one of the best GMs ever.  He took Hurst and then a few picks later took Jackson a few picks later because he had Hurst higher on his board.  Hurst wasnt the right guy but its just another example of how you build winning teams, then went on to take another TE in the 3rd not because of need but because he was again the top guy on the board.  That is how you build a winning franchise.  If a QB is the top guy on you board, then take him but don't reach when you have a team with this many holes and pass up an All Pro player at another position.  How do you know many have Fields number 2?  What GMs did you talk to?

And if someone had taken Lamar with the pick right before the Ravens drafted him? Then what?

You can’t wait around for a QB and hope other teams pass. If you deem a QB as a true franchise guy, you take them at your earliest pick. Lets say you love Trask (which you clearly do) but you don’t think he will go very high so you take Sewell. 

Then, Trask Jones Wilson and Fields all go before your next pick. Then what? You’re stuck with Luton and Minshew next year. 

If you love any one of the QBs, take them at 2.

I do really like Trask but I'm not gonna dig my heals into a guy yet like some on here when there is so much football left.  Sewell won't play another game in college so my opinion on him won't change.  I like Trask as of now but it could definitely change with games to be played

And on Jackson, I dont think they will ever win a championship with him at QB. Tebow has more playoff wins than Jackson
