Take a breath,no one except New England wins the Super Bowl in May.Our Offense still is in the mourn-ing wig mode. Flacco needs a run tough 0-line that can make defenses think run on almost every snap so his play action deep throws can come back as good as when we(he) stopped using them because he was on his back too many times before&after mind numbing boring sam'ol,sam'ol ineffective running schemes.Mourn-ing wig is rather vanilla in his play calling schemes,a West Coast offense would be great,if we had a West Coast offense make up. 7-9 looking up at Steelers and Bengals on top. Patriots WIN!
Chris Moore,Vincent Mayle on our roster. Unless Ozzie missed in last year's 4th rd we have a decent WR already.Moore has had one yr to play his way OUT,injuries OK he is still here. WE ARE FINE at WR.
4th&5th rd picks will make or break Raven's offense this year. O-line must make Joe stay up and get running room for RBs. Good luck that o-line coach has diamonds to polish not clay to mold. Will Joe rework his contract to give Ozzie more cap space to get WR and o-line vet experience?
On paper draft looks very good. Needs were met and "if" these young men can be RAVENS then Ozzie might have made us competitive again. Big Ben can't throw to Brown if we are still running the ball down the field eating the clock. WR looks thin but Perriman is almost as fast as Ross and a healthy Boyle blocking with Watson,Pitta running the seams with Woodhead getting those 3rd downs we are always in I believe we can be 9-7...10-6 this year. Good Job Ozzie. Now on to the phones and find US some undrafted gems. GO RAVENS GO!
I'm with Law215. I love this pick. With Jimmy, Tavon, Carr and now Humphrey??? We have a great set of CB's. Add in Weddle, Jefferson, Webby, WOW. We've got a secondary this year.
PASS RUSH? Suggs is 34 going on 50. NO ELVIS...Can't "cover" all day.
RT,C,LG,OLB & a pass rusher,we get 20 yr old CB. In Ozzie we trust........Cooper Kupp? Larry Robinson? Cam Robinson... "C" to be determined but for 2017 look for another VERY AVERAGE season 7-9 with favorable schedule. Is roster hiding TWO "D" pro bowl Ozzie past picks? Joe will be man handled even by Cleveland unless Ozzie gets O-line help. I don't like this pick.
"If"-If- Browns would part with 12 & 64 for Joe Flacco we should pull the trigger. Sign Kapernick and fix offense&defense through 9 draft picks, 6 WR,LB,WR,CB all before 77th pick. Even Cutler could be stop gap for a year or two.
We play 8 games vs teams Vegas ranks a higher probability of reaching the super bowl than the Ravens. Home vs away record (Flacco struggles) is likely 5-3 & 3-5. Splits with the Steelers and Bengals; Raven team composition at this time tells me the Ravens are an 8-8 team (plus or minus 1). At the moment, the Ravens as a team give no indication of being a 10, 11 or 12 win team. The draft could change that.
"IF" Browns would take Flacco &our 16th for their 1st&33rd we could FIX defense and sign Kapernick or even Cutler as stopgap REBUILD decent team. Flacco & our 16th,74th for 1st&12th would be DREAM scenario.
Maybe 6-10 if WE get very lucky early in the season. Pray Bears&Browns don't torch our secondary "if" we have Suggs lead us in sacks this year.
"IF POSSIBLE" can Ozzie trade Flacco,our 16th pick for Brown's #1! picks,then sign Kapernick or even Cutler as stopgap till next year's QB rich draft? #1 PASS RUSHER,CB at 33?
Would Browns trade their 1st&12th picks to Ravens for our 16th&Joe Flacco? Ravens could use Joe's cap space to sign Kapernick or even Cutler as stopgap till even next year's draft to get a QB or us picking one this year in rd 2.
Trade a tight end,use Waller as a BIG WR?
Right tackle? Outside Linebacker? W/R? Decent pass rush to let Jefferson-Weedle tackle the receivers that get by our wounded CBs..................oops our one CB.
Who blocks on the rgt side of the O-line?
Come home Torrey,come home,ELITE JOE misses you,Kamir where you going?
Resign Wallace at lower cap hit or go after Alshon Jeffery BUT get a line in front of Joe that holds as well as the Pat line does,run blocks and keeps Flacco on his feet long enough to throw the way we know he can.
NO ...we need CB,WR,C more than RB heck a T would help unless in house help is hidden away.
Gee.....we need O-line help if we are to run the ball WOW! Thank God we hired a new coach instead of a big center,tackle,guard. Flacco might be "elite" if he had time to throw,let's hire a new QB coach....or better yet a new WR coach instead of a route running YOUNG "elite" pass catcher.
Perriman looks the part of a guy who never had to WORK to get open,no good route running ability and little or no desire(SO FAR SHOWN) to pay the price over the middle or come back to work open when Joe holds&holds the ball awaiting any receiver besides Pitta&Smith to keep moving.DESIRE how do you measure it?
WOW,Browns get Greg Williams and John remains loyal to Pees,just what we needed more prevent victory safety oriented bend don't break mediocrity.
Pees defense is OK until his prevent soft,lay back gets us beat. NEW BLOOD NEEDED we might be 9-7 next year but 6-10 more likely with John being loyal.
8-8 dull,16th but up from 5-11. New O.C. a must,a better 0-line and time for Pees to go. 1:18 from 9-6 and Dean's prevent cost us the game.John not taking 3s EARLY in season aLSO HURT. Free agent pass rusher, clean house,give John one more year.
43 minutes ago, ravensfan1300 said:Well, we will have another OC that for sure and I think Harbaughs time is coming. Flacco should be on the block as well
Joe& John will be here in 2018.Rex,Rob won't.
Without Tucker we are a very inept scoring offense. MORNING in 2017? NO WAY.

OK,Love to Todd Heap&Family......Do we have in house,on roster enough talent for Greg Roman to make an 0-line capable of getting US a thousand yard rusher who can make a yard on 3rd down? Terrance West is serviceable,Danny Woodhead is reliable pass catcher but 3rd and short still depends on a center,guard,tackle that can create space. Greg Roman can't open the hole unless Ozzie has given him the players. Siragosa,Jensen,a math whiz can't turn last yr's 4th rounder into Ray Rice..........................or can they?
