Nice

TJ really seems like a great kid. Happy he had this experience at the draft. The Ravens should get Marlon to sign his draft card too. If he becomes a star that would be an amazing piece of history to have.

Haha good one. Kapernick? Have you seen him play recently? I have more confidence in Mallet to lead this team should the need arise. Thinking Kapernick is good is like thinking Tebow is good.

Couldn't agree more. I want to see receivers ducking in the middle of the field because they are scared of the hit that is coming. I miss those days. Pollard and Ray had players literally cringing and forcing an incomplete pass without even making contact. Good times

I'm just glad they didnt draft a WR so I don't have to read some of you complaining about how JuJu was a reach in the second and we should have chosen a pass rusher. Suggs is tough as nails but he is nearing the end. We possibly have the heir to Sugg's throne now. No guarantees but if that happens with a second round pick I will be jumping for joy. Great draft by Ozzie. This year and last will go down as the offseasons that turned this team around. Bank on it. Or complain if that's your thing.

Damn it Torrey. Why do you have to be so cool. Still a part of the flock.

Says who? No one thought we had a replacement for D Smith last year and then Orr stepped up big time. I am comfortable with Wallace, Perriman, Campanero, Moore. You have to play the guys you have sometimes. I'm sure Ozzie will also bring in a vet at some point just in case. Joe needs to be practicing with these guys now. Like right now if he wants to establish a connection with them. Something I feel he rarely does since starting his family.

I feel like this was an appropriate response to Flacco's mediocre play since his big game and contract. They tried building the team around Joe, hoping he would be like other top QB's and carry the team but he couldn't. You can say he never had pieces surrounding him to succeed and to a point I would agree but remember it was just last year that many of you were calling our receiver group the best in Ravens history. At least before the season started. Fact is Joe had adequate skill players to work with and should be able to produce more than he has. His injury sucked, sure, but he was what 1-6 before he got hurt? I'm not Joe bashing. He is a serviceable QB. But he is not someone to build a team around. The FO has now refocused their attention to what has worked in the past and that is a dominating defense. I for one couldn't be happier. I am do glad we don't have to sit through another season of defense falling short at the end of games. Joe will score points and hopefully they will be enough to win.

And just like that Ozzie is a genius again. You guys are too funny

Well the Jaguars killed it last year and.....

I believe we set a record for the amount of games won or lost by 7 or less points over the past 2 years. I guess I am the only one who watched the Ravens fail to hold the lead in most of those games. Not fail to gain the lead. With this defense that problem is fixed. I just don't see the offensive needs as drastically as some fans. One of the OL holes will be filled in house. Possibly Jenson the road grader at LG and kick Alex to RT. Cut Watson and Arrington and sign Mangold. The WR core is not as bad as fans make it out to be. Wallace is ready to step up into the 1 role and Perriman should at least be given the chance to play opposite him. Campanero in the slot. Moore as 4. I may be overly optimistic but you have to play the guys you draft at some point.

Wow is this your first offseason? This is what typically happens every year. Relax. Ozzie makes his picks, fans complain and think they know anything about how to build a team, teams make cuts, Ozzie fills the holes in FA. Pretty standard stuff here people.

I'd like to see Bowser rotate with Suggs while Williams takes over for Doom. Could be out OLB's of the future.

Tucker

Yup, he knows there will be offensive cuts to offset some of these picks and will fill out the roster through FA. I could get behind it.
