    Are people really that upset we didn't take a WR?

    WR's generally take a year or two to adjust to the pros and are at high risk of not panning out compared to other positions. There was no offensive savior here. We had a great draft by all accounts. People give us B's because they feel we needed offensive talent, but say we got great value at every pick. If we are depending on our fresh out college pass catchers to save us we are not a top flight organization. If we are getting the best players we can out of the draft and patching short term holes in free agency we are setting the best course for long term success.

    No, I don't think upset over Receivers, the top 3 were gone by the time the Ravens picked. Also, 3 Quarterbacks were taken and OJ Howard fell to us. A great TE (Sharpe, Heap) and Running Game is also what the Ravens were known for besides a Great Defense.

    I mean that's great, but you also have a bunch of young TEs on the roster already, so do we just throw them away?

    There's what we WERE known for, and there's what we are NOW known for. They don't have to be the same thing.

    We didn't used to be a team that invested heavily in the QB position. Now we are, and so are all the consistent good teams in this league.

    Times change. Teams change.

    We have a bunch of Tight Ends that were on Injured Reserve last year, Ben Watson 37 in December, Williams and Gilmore. One who is more of a blocking tight end who has been suspended 2 times and one more will be out of the league. Pitta who is one of my favorites but he gets no YAC. Tight End is still very important in the NFL and its not one of the Ravens Strengths as so many people beleive.

    If Pitta stays healthy, he is good. He might not get the YAC but he makes contested catches and moves the chains. I like Boyle, he has a chance to be great if he stays out of trouble. I think Williams will end up being a bust and Watson is definitely questionable after an achillies injury, but we shall see. But the one nobody is talking about is Darren Waller. Im pretty high on him. Hes big, hes got decent speed and he can catch. Also if Gillmore stays healthy, he is good too.

    I think a combination of Pitta, Gillmore, Waller and Boyle is a good group. Pitta and Waller will be consistent. Gillmore may get hurt and if that trend continues, we may have to cut ties. But I don't see a problem with Pitta, Waller and Boyle (proided he doesn't get suspended)

    I will caution you... last year Pitta wasn't moving the chains at all. Not only was he not getting YAC, he also wasn't moving the chains. He had one of the lower percentages of receptions for first downs among the primary pass catchers last season.

    I think he had the lowest percentage in the league of first downs per catch... He's catching everything but still not moving very well.

    This draft i mean was good but then again im still here thinking, no wide receivers, no decent line but im not question the great OZ. although i would of liked Foster more. But imagine Humphrey the next Mccalister then we all going to be here happy. But nonetheless i say sign vJax n a mangold. Go ravens.

    Also remember that pretty much hours after getting drafted, Foster's agent/camp told the 49ers that he needed the second surgery on his shoulder. Perhaps the Raven's team docs either knew or had a hunch?

    Some great talent is going to fall to the Ravens in the second round. JuJu Smith-Schuster, Zay Jones, Forrest Lamp, Cam Robinson, and Dalvin Cook have the potential to fall to the Ravens. One sleeper pick that I think would be a hit is ILB Zach Cunningham. There is so much talent in the second round, you may even be able to trade down a few spots for more picks and still end up with a good player.
