I think Victor Cruz is a solid option to look at if we don't see any other cuts come in after June 1. Last year was his first year back from that big injury and he started off pretty slow with only 15 receptions through the first 8 games, but in the last 8 games he had 24 receptions. Otherwise the only real options out there are Boldin, Hawkins or Floyd (who we probably won't touch because of his suspension).

I also have questions if he's meant to be in a 3-4 base defense or not.

Here are some of my top players available for the Ravens on day 2... let me know if you think I'm missing any others. Forrest Lamp LG/RT - W Kentucky Cam Robinson, RT/G Alabama JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, USC Tyus Bowser, LB, Houston Jordan Willis, LB Kansas Carl Lawson, LB Auburn Curtis Samuel, WR, Ohio State Tim Williams, LB, Alabama Zay Jones, WR, East Carolina Zach Cunningham, LB Vandy Pat Elfein, C Ohio State Chris Godwin, WR Penn St

Or it could mean that: - they feel good about Correa's future as an ILB - they have other ILB's in this draft class closely rated to Foster - They had someone else on the board rated higher than Foster

DAMN. hahahahahah

Wouldn't be too thrilled with this. Ryan Switzer is my "late round" guy this year, but round 3 is too early for him. I LOVE him and I don't think I'd even consider him before the 4th, but the 5th or 6th round is probably the highest most teams will draft him at because of his size.

Big fan of Switzer. This wouldn't be my ideal draft but I guess we could do worse. McDowell seems like a slight reach at 16 though, I think we could trade back into the early-mid 20s to get him.

I think he'd be a reliable player and a good compliment to what we already have. If I was Ozzie, my offer to the eagles would be Eagles get Ravens 3rd Round Comp Pick (99 overall) Ravens get Jordan Matthews + Eagles 4th Rounder (118 overall) Seems like a win/win for both teams.

Not arguing who the better player is but... last year Mo Claiborne had 1 interception and 5 passes defensed, while Carr had 1 interception and 9 passes defensed.

He's done approximately what I've expected from him in his first real season (and as the 4th receiver on the depth chart). For comparison, Torrey Smith who was the 2nd/3rd receiver on the depth chart had about 850 yards each of his first 2 seasons.

Saying Noah Spence has 5.5 sacks already and that we should have taken him instead doesn't take into consideration the fact that we play a vastly different defense than the Bucs. I really don't think Spence was suited to play in our system, which is probably why we didn't take him. You can have a very talented player that doesn't fit your needs, and just because he plays well for another team doesn't mean it was a bad idea to not draft him. We have no way of knowing if Spence would be playing this well for us right now, or even knowing if he'd be playing at all (like Correa). Many rookies struggle to play their rookie years and go on to have fine careers. Correa was the talk of Mini Camp and parts of training camp, so the coaches and media definitely saw the talent there. Now he just needs to work on translating that to the field.

Moore has been tremendous on ST. I do think that he'll start to get more looks on offense, but I'm more excited to see his development in year 2.

ahh you may be right.

I actually believe that suspensions include the Bye week, so Boyle can return to practice on Monday. Tom Brady served a 4 week suspension and came back to play week 5, despite the Patriots having a Bye in Week 4.

I haven't read most of the new posts on this board since yesterday's loss, but I've read enough to know that people are a little panicked about the rest of the season. Obviously, I think this team has A LOT of problems that need to be addressed, but I think there's a little reason for optimism. 1. We're still only 1 game behind Pittsburgh for the lead in the division and they play New England next week (likely without Ben Roethlisberger). Considering we face the Jets next week, there's a decent chance we go into our Bye week tied for first in the division with a chance to take control of our season if we beat the Steelers. Luckily, the Bengals seem to be struggling a bit this year as well and their schedule is pretty tough. 2. This team had a LOT of injuries last year and mostly less-serious injuries so far this season. Some of the players are still coming back and getting into form, and a lot of our players are young. I think most of us predicted for these reasons that this team would be better in the later half of the year than the first half, although most of us got our hopes up when we started 3-0. I think specifically Joe is still uncomfortable and uncertain with his knee, but there are reasons to believe the offensive line, Joe and our receivers will all be better after a few weeks under Mornhinweg I think we all know that a bit of good fortune will be necessary to keep this season on track, but there are still reasons to be hopeful.
