I will always want TE Howard first, we don't have full time TE worth a damm but if he's gone go with Derek Barnett, Suggs is on his last year or 2.
We have helped our "D" a bit, nothing for Offense. We have two fast WR's and two slow WR's. We have a thousand TE's that scare no one. TE Howard would be the best pick for #1, then LB/Edge, O line, CB and the other choices to fill in what ever we can use. A big RB would be helpful so we don't have to pass on every 4th and one play.
As our very own Johnny U said: "Talk is cheap. Let's play ball."
Great comment.
Back in the day the only conditioning for a player was putting on the uniform!!
It wasn't much, but I still miss 33rd Street.
Lets face it, "GOOD" teams don't care who they play because they expect to "WIN".
We aren't a good team yet. O line??? WR's ??? TE's ??? RB ??? Pass Rushers ???
Mosley and Suggs at LB are OK but those just two can't do it themselves. Secondary should be better, maybe???
I also would like to get rid of Flacco, but we can't. They could redo his contract to help his CAP HIT and let us get a few more free agents, like a WR.
I've never been a Mel Kiper fan and doubt his mock draft choices.
The do RAVEN'S need a lot of offensive help. With all the TE's we have signed who can play a solid game?? That's why I preach TE Howard from Ala. The guy can be a beast anywhere on the field. He will pull a LB away from the line and help our poor O line to open holes.
At RB, who cares who we have. When it's 4th and one we have to pass the ball, that's just sad.
The O line help is a must. After Howard with the first pick, a LB/Edge with the second, use the third or fourth for a O lineman and a RB. I think we can get more LB's, WR's and/or CB's in the later rounds.
But what we all think is nothing. It's all up to Ozzie and his staff.
"PLEASE" don't draft anyone who has had a injury history!!! We already have one or two of them who are just average at best, when they play.
TE Howard or LB Foster or a Edge player.
They are still "WAY" behind the Steelers. The offense hasn't changed. Play calling will be the same people, so that's at least 4 losses. WR's are poor, TE's are poor, the OL is "WHO EVER SHOWS UP PLAYS" ???? QB plays like his knee is still bad and his throws are way off!!
The "D" might be better but there isn't a Ray Lewis or Ed Reed to make them play like the are a top 5 "D" in the 4th quarter.
We still have years to wait .
Trade up ONLY to get TE Howard!!!! He would help get the offense off their butts. He plays inside, seam, outside, just everywhere.
Then go for a LB and/or Edge player. Plenty of WR's and CB's in the later rounds. Ozzie can't pick WR's so why waste a 1 or 2 on one.
A lot of people look good on paper, but the past FOUR years of dreadful play can not be overlooked.
Free Agency was all defense and we needed all the help we could get. Now it's the offense and we need a TE and Howard from Ala. is it. Trade up and get this guy, cut all our TE benchwarmers. Then go for a LB and/or Edge rusher. There are plenty of other WR's in the later rounds and we know WR's are NOT Ozzie's best choices so why waste another #1 or #2 on someone who will washout or have a year/career ending injury.
Draft for need not the so called best on the board crap.
I would still move up and go for TE Howard, to help our poor offense, but if Ozzie is going all defense ( free agents and draft ) this year this guy could be good.
"torn labrum in his shoulder", don't we have enough IR players???
If healthy sign Mangold, he has to be better than what we have had. Then draft Mangold's future replacement in rounds 4 to 7.
We need another Kick Butt LB and/or Edge player on rounds 1 to 3.
WR's are just not Ozzie's thing. He's good at OL and DL, so sign Anquan Boldin, he's just better than what we now have.
We need "Cap Space", make Flacco take a pay cut !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, but we all know Ozzie's WR picks. TE Howard would be a safer choice, then we could cut a dozen TE's sitting on the bench. If not Howard go for a kick butt LB.
CAP SPACE !!!! Tom Brady. The five-time Super Bowl champion, who officially staked his claim as the greatest quarterback in the history of the game, was the highest-paid player on the New England Patriots this past season with a cap hit of $13,764,705. That’s because Brady tends to clean up in signing bonuses and guaranteed money.
Lets see Flacco "lower" his CAP SPACE so this team can sign at least 2 more much needed players ( center and DB ).
Then let's get TE Howard in the first round, a LB/Edge in second, O line in third, and a RB in fourth. Our RB are just to small to pound the ball in our division.
Flacco's greedy contracts take up too much Cap Space!!! You got that right!!!
Also the draft has been to hit or miss. WHo's fault is that, Ozzie or scouts???
Team needs help everywhere, players. coaches, and front office!!!
Another guy that can't stay healthy and we resign him. Any wonder why this team has had a POOR record the past few years???????
The Ravens draft the past 4-5 years has been bad except for Mosley and Stanley. The rest just fill out the roster.
I say move up and get TE howard, cut 3-4 of the TE's sitting on the bench for a real playmaker. Then O-line or LB/Edge.
No WR, we just can't pick anyone who's going to work out at that position.
Then a RB, the guys we have are just to small. Playing the Steelers and the others in our division we need SIZE to control the clock, even against the Browns.
Law215 has it right. The QB is not what he once was and the play calling is just going south. I would still go after TE O. J. Howard, he's just a beast on the field, a Todd Heap type of player!! The ZILLION TE's we have now are no where near that. Then go after a center, LB and/or edge rusher.
Please don't let Ozzie pick another WR, he just can't pick that position.
Flacco winning another Super Bowl?? How about his passing the past two years? His best days are gone and the coaching staff better see the poor throws every game the same way we see them. FACTS ARE FACTS.
Who ever wrote that story needs to see a shrink real fast!!!! Not with what we have for a QB. They must be dreaming about the one we hope to draft SOON!!!!
Well this Chuck says trade up and get this ( Howard ) guy!!!! How many good and healthy TE's do we have, NONE. Pitta only catches a lot of balls from his buddy the QB so he gets his insentive pay. Most are 3, 4 or 5 yard passes. We need a TE that can run the seams for 15, 20, 25 yards or more, a Todd Heap type.
TRADE UP!!!!
WE all wanted to keep Jacob Jones, he didn't play much but could light up the stands, ask the folks in Denver. We all know that Ozzie can't pick WRs and I don't think Harbs want anyone who does stay passive, like thats a good thing or something. We need the emotion that Ray Lewis gave to the NFL. But I still miss Johnny U. and 33rd Street.
We need to find another Ray Lewis. Someone who not only can be a HOF LB but a strong presence on the field, kick players in the butt to keep them playing at a high level the whole game. After 45 minutes a lot of our players and coaches seem to decide to take the fourth quarter off. The Steelers game was a perfect example. So it's NOT just the players that may need to be replaced!!

Everyone says he can't stop the deep ball and there are 3-4 guys in our division who love and beat us with the deep ball. Just "NOT" the guy we needed!!
Maybe he will get better in 2-3 years, maybe??
