you are wrong a good secondary is what makes rushing the passer possible even if we had the greatest D-Line ever unless the secondary can cover for at least 3-5 seconds you won't get any pressure an if you watched the ravens play this year you should have seen it first hand that a weak secondary makes for a weak pass rush

I would like banner 2-3 round for RT and GREG PYKE 6-7 round, a baltimore native at center he's very good at driving D-linemen off the line

i would use a second and pick if he can show up at the combine his tape looks great

Harbs and marshall actually have a good relationship an he was open to trading for him in the past but IF is a big word but IF Marshall hits free agency he's 80% likely to come here but ultimately it doesn't matter who we get its how they play on the field look at chris hogan at the beginning of the year no one knew who he was so hopefully we can find some hidden gems somewhere

we witnessed the greatest super bowl of all time and if you don't think so name any team to come back and win in overtime its never happened before an will likely never happen again I hate the pats but they are a two headed monster with bill & tom

nothing has changed since last year until we make some drastic changes with our coaching,scheme,leadership and getting playmakers nothing will change and we will not get to the playoffs let alone the Super Bowl but lets be optimistic about everything and hope that we can make some good free agency moves have a great draft an we get on the same page with all aspects of our game lets go Ravens Nation

hopefully are secondary looks completely different next year Weddle,Smith,Young are the only ones in the secondary I would keep cut everyone else an start from scratch draft 2-3 CB 1-2 Safeties and we could get a safety in free agency to play next to Weddle

looks like ill only go to the preseason games this year 200+ for a ticket is ridiculous for any working person now days SMH

I'm not sure if hurst will ever be a good enough LT or even RT in the NFL. Hes not strong enough to maul anyone and not fast enough to stay in front of good pass rushers. That's a disaster waiting to happen... I wouldn't mind sliding him inside just to see what we have in him but even then, he'd be on such a short leash that it's not even funny. Jensen and Urschel are guys I like but still havnt proven they can keep Joe upright. we have a solid foundation in Yanda Lewis and Stanley to build around. I just hope we don't throw a bunch of no ones in between them and expect much sucess. We need 3 good linemen if zuttah and Wagner leave and 2 quality backups if they stay. hurst is a good right tackle like the first steelers game when wagner went down he stepped his game up and when he did get beat when he played LT look who it was against no scrubs for sure but yes he is raw but i think with some real coaching he could be good

if he does he will be a positional coach before anything big and I wouldn't mind seeing him come back here to ravens nation

Agree, Patriots don't have a great pass rush but their secondary makes them look like they got pass rush That's because all of their guys have been playing together for years. Only two players have been on different team (Eagles) for a short time and they have a secondary General: Devin McCourty. (7 years). Which brings up again two questions. 1). Do Ravens suck that bad a player selection? 2). Or are the coaches doing a bad job? We've not drafted CBs with high pick in the last decade, save for Jimmy Smith, and despite multiple efforts to find a value pick in later rounds, only Webb and Young come to mind as successes. We have been slightly better with veteran FAs - guys like Graham, Williams, and Stewart have done well enough here to price themselves out of our willingness to pay to retain them. Perhaps the reason we haven't taken the secondary more seriously is that we had stability with Ed for so long, and we've usually managed to generate a pass rush. Weddle is finally a stabilizing force at the back end, but our pass rush has really fallen off. our secondary covering for 3-4 seconds at the most is not enough for a pass rush until we have a good secondary there will be not pass rush mark my words

Whats the basis for the $6M number? Also, I'd point out that Ngata's deal (which was signed in 2011 in a small salary cap era) was for 5 years, $61M, so an average of about $12M a year. So if you use just the stats that you referenced (which aren't really that relevant, especially when you consider that Ngata and Brandon didn't play the same position in their first four years), then Brandon is about 80% as effective of a player as Ngata. So if Ngata was worth $12M 5-6 years ago, and Brandon is 80% of the player he is now, then how do you justify paying him $6M, which is 50% less. I assume now that the $6M was just a "thumb in the air" calculation conjured out of thin air? the 6 mill was the most that I think we could pay him without killing the cap space and with his production it seems the most reasonable price for him which is my opinion

we can't win unless flacco plays better an we need to run the ball more but that being said if the ravens drafted a RB in the first round that might force these "coaches" to run the ball. but I personally think it would be a mistake to draft a RB in the first round But as far as mike wallace goes ask him to take a pay cut or get rid of him he's good but not worth 8 mill. Then the TE situation I say cut both Pitta and watson saves money an we have some good young talent at TE to replace them. The biggest need is at CB and there is plenty of talented DBs in this draft so I would love to see us load up an get 3-5 DB 2-3 CB 1-2 Safeties but unfortunately we might draft just 2 like last year. As far as pass rush goes I think we have some good talent with Judon and smith but if we don't have a secondary to cover for more than 3 seconds how are you supposed to get any kind of pass rush going so that being said solidify the secondary then worry about the pass rush

he's not worth the money even if we had it 6 mil a year is the most I would give him if he wants more good bye 96 tackles, 4.5 sacks and three forced fumbles in 4 years is not that impressive Ngata in his first 4 years had 124 solo tackles 6.5 sacks 2 forced fumbles 3 interceptions so again I don't think he's worth more than 6 mil a year

i want the falcons to win the super bowl plus most of us ravens fans hate the pats an squeelers

If Reuben Foster is at 16 take him but if not and peppers is still there take him imagine if it was C.J and peppers playing MLB for us we could cover any TE out there

REUBEN FOSTER should be are 1st round pick if he's still on the board

ozzie will pick Jabrill Peppers

wow this leaves a huge hole in the middle of are defense sad day for the ravens nation keep your head up Zachary Orr you will be missed

dean is not good plays scared zone in the 4th and will lose you the game doesn't hide the blitz good enough has CB playing 10 yards off the line rarely presses the receivers witch would give pass rush more time but in the end he will not be here much longer playing this way

this is a big upgrade from Juan Castillo

well the production for the vets is lacking big time so i guess they are as good as gone but hopefully we can get a trade for at least one of them that would be great but i don't see doom web zuttah here next year

TANOH KPASSAGNON,JARRON JONES,MONTRAVIUS ADAMS,EDDIE VANDERDOES,Hunter Dimick would be great D lineman to draft Sidney Jones,Kevin King,DAMONTAE KAZEE,Channing Stripling all good CB to draft Josh Jones,Rayshawn JenkinsJohn Johnson would be good FS to draft JON TOTH,Kyle Fuller,ZACH BANNER,DANNY ISIDORA,GREG PYKE Donnel Pumphrey,COREY CLEMENT,DE'ANGELO HENDERSON are the RB that we could draft ISAIAH FORD,NOAH BROWN,Malachi Dupre,Chris Godwin,Stacy Coley would be good WR to draft Obi Melifonwu,Dallas Lloyd,Jadar Johnson,DANTE BARNETT would be good SS to draft DEVOTE FIELDS,Jimmie Gilbert,Tashawn Bower,Dylan Donahue would be good OLB to draft even if we only get one of these guys ill be happy

more cheap talk can't wait to see some results for a change if it happens

Only place Williams is a beast is at the dinner table ,he is so overrated he makes some plays but he takes plays off and at times gets man handled by 1 on 1's with guys that are smaller than him Apparently you know better than just about the complete NFL analyst and expert scene... Because the prevailing view on Brandon Williams is quite the opposite of yours... you obviously didn't watch the steelers game where he got manhandled lol
