Thank you for this, it's going up (can be taken down if not right but I trust you)

Good question. 12 hour time limit. If you miss it, next man is up but the skipped GM can pick any time

Decent cap space, best young QB in the league, some talented parts to work with

Okay, starting soon. Has anyone made an actual draft order with names instead of sing-up number? I want to put it as the first post in the thread to keep it simple. Any help would be appreciated

I'd also prefer random order and pick from that. May ruffle some feathers/strategies but it keeps it lively, fun, and fair.

2006 Bears offense, hmm. Okay, no cheating, I think I have three. The original RG3, like you said. Thomas Jones - RB, I think he had supplanted Benson by that point. Olin Kruetz (sp?) - C. Was Musin Muhammed on that team? Earl Bennett? Those are my best shots, very forgettable offense. Totally agree. Denver kept trying the screens and 4 yard in-routes and Seattle was just sitting on it, waiting to pop those guys. Smith was deserving, you could have also given it to Chancellor as well.

Ok, steering away from any political/social arguments: How does the MVP voting work? Is it player ballot? Do they select from a few names?

So what did we learn - Peyton still chokes; post-season Peyton is a different guy than his regular season counterpart. Can't throw the ball past 10 yards which is a little bit of a disadvantage when you're trailing by 35. Loves to - HAS to - play small-ball. - Denver is soft. Or is Seattle just that beastly? Seattle's defense put a whipping on every Broncos receiver that caught a pass. The Broncos didn't want to play past the first quarter. Kam Chancellor was awesome. - Glad they gave the MVP to one of the deserving defenders. - Brett Favre has been living in a shed in the woods for the past year - LINK - it's the only explanation for that mess

With numerous other staff changes coming Press conference at 3PM ET - watch it live on baltimoreravens.com

That's fine but he was fined $50K during the season for skipping out on media. The fine was taken back after Lynch promised to fulfill his media time throughout the postseason. The media says he didn't but the NFL sides with Lynch and apparently he won't be fined. I don't care. Media day is boring and unwatchable. Lynch probably would not have said anything ground-breaking, regardless. It's become more of a story that he didn't talk which is ridiculous. But we all know the media will take any little slight personally and cry about it *cough*GlennYounes*cough*

Lol Mike Preston owned again. Funny how Byrne's story actually makes sense, is consistent, and goes with everything Harbaugh/Kubiak/Dennison said at the press conference while Preston's column was rambling and just false. Great article by Byrne and thanks for sharing I probably would not have seen it until tomorrow

I don't recall any of those tweets but I could jive with that, your reasoning makes sense. That implies, though, that all of Preston's articles and 'insight' since then have been fabricated - which I think is the case - passing his slant / bias as fact. His column today was just sloppy and sad. I think Kubiak and Dennison were brought here by Harbaugh. Kubiak must have said his name 10+ times during the press conference and stated that Harbaugh was the main reason. Anyways, steering away from Mike Preston, I love the overhaul to our offensive staff. Sad to see successful position coaches like Harman and Montgomery go but the offense has been substandard for too long.

I don't think that was it, I interpreted that as Bisciotti saying HE was the leak... and then he went back and had a private interview with Preston but whatever. I could be wrong, when was it during the presser?

And Montgomery was a Harbaugh-fire. Watch the end of the year presser when he's asked why Ray Rice wasn't playing for a series or two. He was mad, it was the RB coaches call, RB coach was canned.

The biggest issue is the OL. If we had respectable blocking last season the running game would have been effective and the passing game would have been clicking and not have to sustain the entire unit.

So true. He's always targeted the best he can. He did it again.

He pimps the Harbaugh buddy/ego rhetoric harder than anyone. Wilson is by far the best Ravens coverage you will get, totally agreed.

Everything is not rainbows and butterflies but Mike Preston is not gospel, either

Yes, if you download the app I believe it is hosted as well. That is, if you have a decent internet/wifi connection

Our site is reporting that dozens of interviews happened, reaching all the way into college ranks - up to two interviews a day. We heard hardly a peep. Crazy behind the scenes stuff.

Once it's official, we should probably start a new thread

Wilson reporting Kubiak in as OC, Dennison also coming with him in some capacity https://twitter.com/RavensInsider/status/427867142063927296

Presser at 3 for the new OC. lol such mystery ooooh.

Ozzie and Bisciotti are involved and should be involved. My issue is when it's 'reported' as Harbaugh being totally excluded from the discussion, as if he's cancerous or inept. That's ridiculous. Harbaugh, Ozzie, and Steve have always said they are in deep talks with each other and always asking for input. When they met in Bisciotti's home in Florida, I doubt they just handed Harbaugh a coloring book - that's what Preston would like you to believe. I think Preston harbors some sort of vendetta against Harbaugh. Likely because Harbaugh calls him out of the stuff he fabricates or what he pushes. Most notably his 'Ray Lewis and Ed Reed should be benched' column.

He should. Or else he should look at himself for extending Harbaugh twice and making him one of the highest paid coaches in the league - if he is just a 'figurehead'. The Harbaugh bashing is sometimes unbelieveable and some of the buddy rhetoric makes you wonder if people realize what they say... I bet if Kubiak/Dennison/Shanahan doesn't work out, he'll be accused of being John Harbaugh's buddy, too, a few years down the road. Same thing with the 'doghouse' crap. Again, I don't believe any of it.
