I agree with the potential trade back. However, I strongly thing that a.) Buckner will be gone at #6, and b.) Ozzie won't pick Bosa even if he's still on the board at #6 (which more and more mocks project will be the case). Why? Ozzie and the Ravens scouting team has a great track record identifying capable pass rushers that are still available on day#2. Three names: JJ, McPhee, Za'Darius Smith. All three were day#2 picks. And there will be promising pass rusher talent on day#2. Therefore, I think Ozzie won't go for a pass rusher with his top picks. And, since retaining Shareece Wright means we have our starting CB tandem, the most logical and safest bet for #6 seems to be Ronnie Stanley - as I'm positive KO will be gone the first day of free agency - meaning that although we have Urschel and probably Jensen, a top talent at G would be a logical pick. Or a trade down. And, as a trademark Ozzie-move, drafting our next great pass rusher in the 4th round, with one of the picks acquired in the trade I wouldn't bank on Wright being the locked in starter. He played mediocre at best last year. We played some really bad QB's when he started getting playing time and he wasn't overwhelming. He is an upgrade to Arrington who can't cover anyone anymore. BTW Wright's resume is not great, but he did play better in 2015 than he had previously. https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/05/13/best-fantasy-cb-matchups/ https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/02/13/sig-stats-ypcs-cornerbacks/ His contract: 3YR $16M.

Nickel CB most likely.

I believe Suggs wife filed for divorce last year over allegations of infidelity. I am less concerned about his personal life and more concerned about if he will come into camp in shape to play. Suggs has a history of playing his way into football shape during camp. With his injury and age I worry those days are behind him and he needs to be working out now or we will be spending the season talking about if this is his last year. Suggs is in his 14th Season. He knows exactly what he needs to do to get ready for the season. He has been arguably our best player for the last 10 years and I still don't see anyone on this roster that makes more of an impact than Suggs on Sundays.

Breshad Perriman has all the tools to be a dominant NFL WR. The real question is whether or not he wants it. And that is for him to prove to everyone.

Suggs is the leader of this defense. His 7.5M cap hit is a bargain compared to what he brings to the table. Pitta was a mistake. No one would have ever thought Rice would do what he did and that the media storm would force him out of the league. Ozzie, DeCosta, Hortiz are as good as it gets. They have recently made some mistakes, but I would be willing to bet that they are learning from them as the league evolves. Think about how many years we have been drafting in the 20s-30s. We get to pick at the top of each round and this class is incredibly talented at positions we need. CB, ILB, DE, OT, OLB. I expect 3 Pro Bowlers to come out of this class.

And how about those trophies? 2013: 8-8, 2014: 10-6 Divisional Round Exit, 2015: 5-11 It all comes down to taking more risk and banking on 2013-2015 vs. spreading things out evenly and having more flexibility. Notice how I said "Inflation Adjusted". We would be in an even better situation now had they done things right the first time.

Myles Jack gives you so much versatility. He is an absolute freak athlete who can play everywhere on the field. He puts Jalen Ramsey to shame, and has much better tape. He is probably the best defensive player in the draft, but we all know pass rushers come at a premium. Right now it seems like BPA will work out because we have needs at OLB, CB, ILB, and OT: (Bosa, Hargreaves, Jack, and Stanley)

How do you know that? He is shopping his deal and we cleared cap space to potentially bump our offer to keep him in Baltimore. Team's will not pay him as a top Tackle only playing 4 games at the position.

I think 9M/Year is the magic number. I think teams are less likely to pay him as a Tackle, but consider his versatility as a bonus. He will get top guard money offers on the open market.

There are also rumors we cut Chris Canty which will save us 2.1M against the cap.

We reduced his cap figures for the next 3 years. AND the salary cap will increase over the next 6 years. This contract is competitive for a QB with a winning pedigree.

That's how they should have structured the first deal after the SB. Inflation adjusted with cap increases. We can work with those numbers but they would be lower if we did things right the first time.

I wonder if Arthur Brown gets one last chance to play, if Orr becomes the starter, or if we use the Draft/FA to Daryl's replacement. This is why the offseason is interesting. It just takes too long to develop...

Just to be clear Tucker was 3-3 on game winning FG's this year. 52yd make in OT against PIT. 48yd make against STL with 57 sec left. 39 yd make against SD with 0:00 on the clock. #IceInHisVeins
