Ravens actually admitted it isn't true: http://bit.ly/2nuq4nm

 

That's pretty clever. I was wondering if it was true or not. Unless it's a double April fools.

Boat.

Are you talking about the Ravens cruise to London?

I bet there will be an article about a draft prospect refusing to play for the Ravens like last year.

It was fun going back and reading what everyone predicted after the season was over last year.

I feel like we failed by not adding a number one starter. That is what we need to push us over the top. Same old story, but I'm still hopeful!

I don't think there was a number one starter that we could add. Gausman and Bundy have shown promise and Tillman is good when he is healthy. I think a top pitcher would have to be found in the draft.

I wouldn't say young is different, I think he's one of the first to come to mind for most. Correa is different though. I personally think that once correa finds a role and gets time to get comfortable in it, he'll be a dog, but how long it will take is the mystery to me. I think he'll bring optimism for year 3 and follow up with a break out season, just don't think he's quite there yet

No one had mentioned Young yet, so that's why I said different. 

I agree on Correa and I'm rooting for him to take the next step.

first off takin a cap hit of 20 mil with total cap what it is wil not ruin a team. both the bengals and browns have spent far less than that hit wich is really no more than a limit on spendin u know what i'm sayin spendin below total cap. god I hate this stuf.  so we start wiff that it is ok to be below cap.

so total joe dead cap for 2017 is 18.5 mil vary managaeable.

jus above check it out corse we have a hit in 2018 as well .  but they already takin actin to make it harda to do.  I culd manage this club much betta and I serreous. gonna proof it in the draff contest. spendin my avail time workin on my draff need by selction top100 play along gonna show anione can do it.

I'm no cap expert, but spotrac says that Joe's cap hit in 2017 is $24 million. Right next to that is the dead cap, which says $47 million. That is nowhere near the 18.5 million that you are saying. 47 million in dead money is not manageable at all.

And again, if you think that you could run this team, go play Madden and see how well you could do.

I'll be diferent and say that Correa or Young will have a breakout year. I also think that Maxx will have a breakout year after getting healthy.

I spent five minutes reading through it a couple of days ago, which was about five minutes more than I'd like to spend reading through Ravens Talk.

Like I say, RM's description could be applied to a few people.

Intentional bad spelling and grammar and "teh comprehensuv plan"

At least, that's who I've been referring to . He had made several posts Sunday and Monday, if I'm remembering correctly.

What did I miss? I can think of a couple of examples that fit that description.

If you read through Ravens Talk, you'll find the answer to your question.

Living in Canada this was basically the only joint for semi-intelligible Ravens talk. Facebook Ravens is just insanity, theres no discussion there.

It's like a thousand ray rays.

We traded for the pick that got us Campanaro didn't we?

Yep, the Ravens traded a 6th to the Browns to get him.

Has anyone seen any details on this?  I haven't found any clarification yet.  Does this mean you can't intentionally run out of bounds?  No spiking the ball? What? 

That would be a very stupid rule if that is what it means. I hope it means something like what JO was talking about.

Every draft has to have 32 players go in the first, right? I think that's where the 36 players could go in the first comes into play. It's not like we end the first round after all the players you had a high grade on are gone.

As for what does it mean to have a first round grade, I'm not entirely sure what a scout set the bar at grade wise, but they might say a first round player has a grade of 7.0 or higher on our board. That's a really high grade that not many players will reach, so maybe they only get 10 players with that grade. Then you naturally fill in the next 22 to get your top 32.

Thanks, that helps clear it up for me.

Having 36 first round grades is entirely too high. Having 36 players that can go in the first is different, but 36 first round grades is way too high. I think Matt Miller said he spoke to several scouts that had maybe 15 players with first round grades in this draft. Just wanted to throw that out.

Anyway, Njoku is absolutely a first round player. I don't think anyone has risen faster, but he's going to be a nightmare up the seam and as a receiver. He's a freakish leaper and is extremely fast. He'll be a real terror in the red zone and over the top of linebackers and safeties. He's really just learning how to really play his game, too. Wait until he gets NFL coaching and has a chance to really learn the nuances. 

If Njoku catches onto coaching, he's going to be a game breaker. I wouldn't take him in the first for the Ravens, but he's going to be a very good pass catcher for a team looking for that game breaking element. 

What is the difference between 36 players going in the first and 36 first round grades? I don't know a lot about scouting and this part confuses me.

I'm excited to see what Correa can do this year.

If you want to trade Flacco, then go play Madden where you can do what you want with the franchise.

Bynes I think, and before that we had Jameel McClain, another UDFA, in the mix. Albert McClellan too.

I thought that Orr had replaced Daryl Smith.

Also: while it's nice to have an "impact" linebacker, it's relatively easy to find a solid starter at LB. Linebacker is one of few positions where it's pretty easy to find a guy that isn't a total liability. How many UDFAs have we had come in and look like aces? Hell, Orr was one of those guys. You always like to have impact players in the middle of a defense but let's not pretend that Orr was irreplaceable. He replaced a UDFA and he may even be replaced by a UDFA.

Who was the UDFA that he replaced? My mind is blanking at the moment.

I think you will be surprised.  Prices are going to plummet.  John Q. Fan can now afford to go.

For perspective Oakland is losing a team, we are just losing a message board.

And I'm sure some fans will go to make the most of the last few seasons that they will have the Raiders in Oakland.
