Really helps our DB depth.
The decleat of Hines Ward will be a top ten ravens play forever.
If he continues to grow I see him starting for us in the future.
After a solid draft I expect us to be in playoff contention again this year. We have some space for camp cuts as well so we aren't completely done here.
Putting grades on people at this point is silly. Lets see things for what they really are.
Breshard Perriman- Immediate impact player. Pretty much replaces Torrey but with better potential
Pick 2
Maxx Williams- Immediate impact player and great fit for Trestman's offense
Pick 3
Carl Davis- immediate rotational player
Pick 4
Za,darius Smith- Probably used in sub packages
Pick 4
Joviorious Allen- change of pace/3rd down back
Pick 4
tray walker- modeled after what the seahawks did with there secondary with all the long tall guys. Has Jimmy Smith measureables but is raw. Could compete for a nickel\dime role and if nothing else pushes the other dbs who have been here for a year or 2.
Pick 5
nick Boyle- solid depth in case Pitta doesn't come back. More of an inline blocker and all around tight end than williams
Pick 5
Robert Myers- solid depth and targeted more for next year if Yanda or KO leave.
pick 6
Darren Wall - Alot of upside for a 6th round player. Size we can definitely use in the red zone.
Overall I like what we did. We got people who can help us this year and set us up well for potential departures next year. Typical solid ravens draft.
Best TE in the draft. Two major pieces on offense. I think we go hard on D the rest of the way. Maybe a olb next.
over the hill, better to spend money elsewhere. we have 3 backs on the roster and will likely draft one and\or bring in undrafts.
With what cap room dude? That guy is asking for more than Lewis signed for. Why do you think he is still a FA?
The ravens wanted someone who can create turnovers. landry created 0 turnovers last year. Lewis made 5. Not tomention Lewis is 6 years younger.
Stop hating until you educate yourself. Jesus..........
We'll resign Duwan Landry. ( ranked 8th best Saftey in the league last year and is constantly aside from 2 seasons in his career in the top 11)
still too early to call
Quality depth if nothing else. Not sure what all the haters think we should do instead. Who is out there in FA who is lights out better? Who in the draft is lights out better? Weak class for safety. We were 40 yards or so from the afc championship game with the joke of a secondary we had end of last year. The best thing for us is to get healthy in the secondary and bring in options. People really need to lighten up...........
If we have jimmy, webb, and melvin next year just think of our secondary then.
Lets see what he does against AJ and Deandre Hopkins before anointing him.
The ilb spot next to smith was a weakness for us last year. Mosley is better than a 17 pick and some had him going before us. With all the other picks we have I think we will address other areas. If nothing else mosley gives us another option for the second ilb spot and more depth should something happen to daryl.

woot..................
Probably a fall back plan depending on what happens with the RR situation.
People also seem to forget Holiday's propensity to fumble................
People seem to forget that he is actually a pretty good wide receiver. I've said this 100 times and I'll say it again. Whenever he has the ball in his hands, there is a legitimate chance for him to go all the way for a touchdown.
Everyone who is hating should answer this question....
Other than JJ who is on our roster that is a playmaker on offense and ST?
I like this signing as he is familiar with Kubiak's offense and is a game breaker on special teams. Say what you want about his WR skills but knowing that we have a chance to score on any return play is a big factor. I actually like him as an outside WR speed threat and combine that with Pitta over the middle...yikes. I also see us bringing in another FA WR and also in the draft. His contract is cap friendly as the WR market is subdued this year with a deep draft. I really like how Ozzie is keeping his own guys first. Lets get Smith locked up next.

People need to see this for what it is. it is a solid signing to an already solid team.
