  1. Love the urban pick 3-4 DE with a lot of upside , length , disruptive and can bat balls . But we already have brandon Williams , Karpon lewis Moore and deangelo Tyson ! Youngsters with upside , now we have Jernigan and urban on top of that plus to solid vets in canty and ngata . So can we keep them all ? Because We're simply wasting talent if we let go of our youngsters with potential by kicking them out for two new ones . However if we can somehow keep Jernigan , urban , Brandon's Williams , deangleo Tyson and Karpon lewis Moore along with ngata and canty ( who could be cut ) then watch out offenses because the youth and talent on that d line is unbelievable plus being able to rotate a lot of guys . So hopefully were stacking on talent along with our already youngsters in brandon Williams , Karpon lewis and Tyson and hopefully were not wasting talent by letting go any of these guys .

     

    The pick would have made better since in the 5th or 6th round.  We may have had a better TE, too.  I am happy with Mosley, Jerrigan, and Brooks.  Less than happy with the rest.  It all balances out though.  Urban has a lot of competition and we still need help at OL and WR.

  2. John Harbaugh was just on NFL Network live talking about the draft. Even he said there are "fights", disagreements etc among the FO, coaches and scouts and if it is ok for them to disagree and agree, then it is ok for Ravens fans to disagree and agree. I am not gonna wait till the 175th pick as my body agrees to take a nap after 3 days of research, debating and following the draft non stop. It was fun though and sometimes some pretty funny comments loosens up the day. Thanks all for the fun. Looking forward to training camp.

     

    Take a nap, rook. We'll keep watch while you sleep.  Never quit, never surrender.

  3. Injuries, and pathetic Oline collapse.

     

    The loss of Boldin and Pitta (for part of the season) was greater than imagined because it left Flacco with no reliable check-down guy.  Rice and Pierce both struggled with injuries and never got it going in the running game.  This forced Flacco to air it out and make more mistakes than ever before in his career.  Despite the injuries, the OL didn't do too badly, but it didn't play well enough to push the pile on short yardage situations and in the red zone.  It's a testimony to the toughness of Flacco and the linemen who were often playing out of position.  Monroe is much better than many people give him credit for and will only improve in a new blocking scheme that is similar to that which he has used his whole pro career.  Yanda is my favorite linemen and deserves all the credit for playing through injuries.  Now that we have an experienced center we should see the level of play elevate exponentially.  I hope and pray that the big guy Osemele is fully healed and can play RT.  Let's just get a few more pieces of the puzzle and find a free agent or two later on to fill in the gaps.  We are the Ravens, baby.  We are winners.

  4. I sure hope Mosley starts because we passed up on both Dix-Clinton and Pryor to take him.  He seems to have all the right stuff.  ILB is a position that you can substitute players in and out on one side but you definitely need a defensive captain out there for 3 downs to read the plays and audibles.  D. Smith is that man on the Ravens now.  Mosley will be that guy in a few years but meanwhile he has the tools to start on the other side of the spread.

  5. Maybe Antonio Richardson, Cameron Fleming and Cyril Richardson are still out there. Would be happy with any or all of them haha. 

     

    Wouldn't mind using one of our last picks on Louchiez Purifoy....special teams beast, with potential to be a pretty good corner. 

     

    OT - Fleming.; Richardson, Steen

    WR - Bryant, Abbrederis

    RB - Williams, Seastrunk

    LB - Jones, Bradford, Smith

    QB - McCarron

     

    Let's see who gets picked before we get our turn.

  6. Rice will get some sort of suspension. That leaves Pierce and what was that guy's name that we all went who? when they signed him? That RB? That is pretty much it at RB.

    We signed a center who, it is being reported, is slightly better than Gino, who most raved about when he was drafted. But - didn't work out that way did it? Jensen & Wagner - though the FO might be high on them - have not proven anything. Wait - we did see Wagner didn't we? I believe most of us were of the opinion we hoped not to have to rely on him?

    KO - still an unknown because he did not play well - we all just assumed his back was injured from day one but we don't know that especially since it should have been listed on the injury report and wasn't.

    Kubiak - I'll give you - but you can only do so much if you're not given the players to do it with.

    They drafted a project TE because he is considered a blocking TE. Not a receiving TE and his weakness is his route running and lack of separation (man doesn't that sound familiar?).

    The point is: we give the defense all the high draft picks every year, they play a click above average and everyone is "oh our defense is soooooo improved!" (stats prove otherwise) but we give the offense hand me downs and scrub picks and expect them to play top 5 or at least top 10.

     

    Boston College has a big bruising RB in the draft that we can definitely get today.
