RSR staff react to the pick here.

Wasn’t sure Isaac would be around late in the 3rd so I actually like the value for the Ravens. He has technical deficiencies with his hands but his explosion and his pass rush results despite this, give a good indication of who he can be once Chuck Smith gets his hands on him https://t.co/VxgaUEA9pg

Adisa Isaac is a fun player. He was a team captain who showed a non-stop motor, which projects well as a rotational player who should gain more reps as he progresses physically. He’s going to fight and scrap and probably start out with a big role on special teams. Ravens have met some needs the first three picks, without reaching. Solid start. Bring on Saturday.

Yeahhhhh, this one I don’t like as much.

Isaac was among a crop of defenders at Penn State who all showed crazy athleticism, but I don’t know that I saw enough of a profile of work to feel like he’s a notable improvement over the guys you already have in that personnel group. If they were married to the idea of taking an EDGE there, I liked Austin Booker and Mo Kamara in terms of fit a little better.

Beyond that, I think my gripe is just the talent still sitting on the board at receiver. By all accounts, Troy Franklin shouldn’t have slid anywhere near that pick, and it felt like they could’ve snagged a steal. Otherwise, Javon Baker as a true X would’ve been a hell of a pick.

The more picks that go by without a receiver, the more I get the gut feeling that they may have a hush-hush deal to bring in another free agent or trade target.

Adisa Issac is an interesting case study. He is a good athlete with size and burst to win around the edge and win with power. This is the type of player I love to go with later because of his athleticism. My biggest concerns with this team were the Corners, Tackles, and Edge Rushers. The Ravens have filled all three of them before day three which is a win.

The Ravens managed to select positions of need without sacrificing value by avoiding reaching for players. Personally I thought corner, offensive tackle and edge were greater needs than receiver, but I was in the minority among our fan base.

Adidas Isaac is the latest Penn State edge player to join the Ravens. While not quite the athleticism of Oweh, he was however much more productive with 7.5 sacks last year. Chuck Smith gets another player to help mold.

Steelers suck!”

Another college reunion for the defense— this time Adisa Isaac and Odafe Oweh who played together at Penn State as sophomores during the 2020 season.

At 6’4” and 249 lbs, Isaac finished his final season with the second-most tackles for loss in the Big Ten (16), and also tied with three others for the third-most sacks in the conference (7.5).

He’s a former team captain who led in several stat categories in what’s arguably the country’s hardest division of football. With Roquan Smith to guide him in the linebacker corps, the sky’s the limit for Adisa Isaac, who fills in at a thin position behind only Oweh and Malik Hamm.
