Something peculiar just happened in my latest MFL10 draft. In the ninth round, within the first five picks in the round, four of them were Baltimore Ravens.
Are the Ravens a sleeping offensive juggernaut with Joe Flacco coming back? Are these players overrated or underrated? Were they drafted too early or too late? We will not know the answers to these questions at this point in the year, hopefully the situation plays out well for those who pick them.
Here are my quick takes on those ninth round Ravens:
Javorius "Buck" Allen - Second year RB with very high upside playing behind aging Justin Forsett. Forsett was injured part of last season, and Buck made a decent, but not spectacular, showing in his absence. I probably would pick him at this spot also, depending on what RB depth I have going into the pick.
Kamar Aiken - He was thrust into the WR1 position with Perriman and Smith out with injuries last season. He held his own, doing well even without Flacco at QB. He will serve his fantasy owners well this season as a WR3 or WR4. He'll probably be picked in rounds 8-12 in upcoming drafts.
Breshad Perriman - He was injured for his entire rookie year, but was highly regarded before he was drafted. He'll be back this season, and will contend for a starting spot this season. To be honest (TBH lol), I am not sold on Perriman because he has not proven anything yet on the field in the NFL. He does offer some upside though, and might be worth the risk as a ninth round or later pick.
Steve Smith - This was MY Raven pick in this round. Smith is old for an NFL player, and he was also injured last season. But I still LOVE his toughness and ferocity. He renounced his "retirement" to come back and play this season. I believe Steve Smith comes back to the Ravens as their WR1, and will lead the Raven receiving corps in all receiving statistics.
Also, I love the Markus Wheaton pick in this ninth round with Martavis Bryant out for the season for smoking weed. Thanks for reading, let me know what you think, and follow me on Twitter @ff_inferno!
