It's cute that you think that it would have played out any different. Moving up that far for a player whose role was being reduced and who will be gone next year is a huge bonus to the Ravens. I agree. Get it now or lose. Theres no way we was getting a 4th round pick in 2019 for him.

Chances are he would have been a one and done year deal, just like Kubiac was.

If youre gonna take this guy, you could trade back, get another pick or two and still grab this guy or the center from Ohio State.

the strengths and weakness sound like they are comparing two different guys.

they are chartering the WHOLE ship? are they taking any fans with them?

WHY? We couldn't afford them after 4 years.

All-in-all good players but: 1. Ross - already have two speed receivers don't need a 3rd one 2. Williams - can get in round #2 3. Humphrey - is in the running but likely available in the 20's WR Davis & Williams - have to be at top of their board Edge Rushers Barnett, McKinley, Charlton and Harris would be my order of preference OT is only taken if the Rvens trade back into the 20's in order to get more picks in rounds 2 and 3. My top 3 are:: Williams, Barnett, Davis if we stay at #16. if they are gone, trade back and get one of the others noted because at least 4-5 of them will be drafted/available in the 20's, Ross is more than a speed receiver. Hes an all around, tough receiver with good hands and GREAT speed.

I don't no. When he was in the game he had trouble fighting off blocks and got overwhelmed at times. It could be a playbook issue, although last year an article said the Ravens were surprised at how fast he picked things up, Of course they also made it seem like he was going to be a big contributor. So the he picked up things line could also be an exaggeration. maybe they meant he kept his room clean

its good to have an article that isn't part of Harbaughs interview. Keep digging Ryan, you find more stuff to report on lol

it all starts with the offensive and defensive lines.

Its not the receivers job to "strut his stuff" or be a loud mouth, crying for the ball all the time. Its the coaches job and the QBs job to recognize the talent that's there. Aiken only had 12 yrds per catch cuz he was used mostly as a 3rd down option and the short over the middle throws don't get you much more. ( what was Pitta's YPC this year?) We underused a really good talent. He proved to be a reliable receiver and we just tossed him aside.

This guy is not a top 16 pick.

Aiken was a 3rd down guy. He wasn't in it for the long ball. I think we missed the boat on Aiken and we did him wrong. Hope he finds a home in Indiana and has a really good career...just not when he plays us.

Reed is still my man!

bigcatfrank1, I LOVE your enthusiasm. good post and GO RAVENS!

so many players, so few picks

the deal I would make with Claiborne is $3 million a year with tons of incentives. That's as high as I would go on someone who has a history of injuries.

we were gonna save 3.5 million and get pick 198 but now becuz of the wisdom of Ozzie we save 5.8 millon and get pick number 186.

I would like to see the Ravens get Jabril Peppers. He can play safety or inside linebacker. I watched him at the combine and he was definitly the leader of all the DBs. Not only in ability but he just assumed the leadership roll. That's something we could use in a young guy.

I'm glad someone finally agreed with me on Nick Boyle playing FB.

We don't need an analyst for who we draft at WR. What we need is someone to analyze our routes and training methods.

Zuttah is probably wondering what more could he do.

Ozzie really made Brandon Williams interview awkward at the end with that "ask your colleagues" answer.

The more the merrier! Theres always room on the Ravens band wagon

They might resign Dume at a lower Price.
