Ryan Clark would be a good pick up for a year to bring a vet presence to the Safety position, sans Ingehibo! Pick up a FS BPA in a later round and groom him targeting 2015! What's the rush!

Gino was getting trampled by blitzes but, more importantly, he wasn't recognizing them and setting the correct blocking schemes! He'll be a fine Center,... just not yet! He needs to season some more!

The game changer for Mack may come down to our penchant for going to the Playoffs regularly! Let's hope! BTW that is one bully av, Worm!

Every year, when Free Agency ends,... the Raven FO is graded out "Above Average" at the least and typically, "Outstanding"! I am hoping that Steve Smith has matured from the player who squared off at team mates in the locker room because that issue, and his age, - this is a gutsy move by Oz & Harbs! By season's end if Steve Smith is as Tenacious as he's been in the past, and IF (a big "IF") Joe Flacco can find him consistently, this duo may be the connection that moves chains (like Mace did) and opens up the rest of the Offense! I couldn't see him him here but Steve's a Raven now so I got his back too!

Judging from your being identified as "practice squad", perhaps you haven't been here long! Hoping you've been a Ravens fan longer - Welcome aboard! As per your comment about, "Ravens miss[ing] out on a lot of key players", remember, last year was an anomaly - we were dumping players and filling slots early! Not typical to say the least! Ozzie usually gets many of his FA signings in August as other teams begin to, reluctantly, trim good veteran players who can be had for less than the early "FA Derby"! I wouldn't sweat the pace that our FO is working at FA,... I'd say we're "Right on time and doin' fine"!

Hope we finish second in the sweepstakes for Steve Smith's services! Originally, I was not in favor, then I got intrigued by his "Boldin-like" pass-catching tenacity, but in the final analysis, his overall ego and self-appraisal are both too big for Russell Street!

Securing Daryl Smith and Corey Graham, then acquiring Alex Mack would be a FA Coup de Grace! IMHO that's what an extremely successful FA opening would look like! Plenty of room for additions in July and August!

The Dragonfly did come back down I-95 from NY and got off at the Russell Street exit! Splendid!!! I still would like to see Aaron Mellette break into the 45-man roster as a reserve Receiver/ST player even if it means taking a couple plays away from Jacoby!

True that, Mom! I love watching "Dream Teams" crash and burn! They were also saying that Seattle's sound thrashing of the unstoppable Broncos' offense is fueling all the inflated FA interest in Safeties and Pass-rushers,... bohica Yet, Ware is the "missing piece" in Denver?

Sure! Why not? According to ex-GM Charley Casserley and the rest of the NFL AM cable Talking Heads, we,... all 15 remaining AFC teams may as well not suit up for 2014! As soon as Denver signed DeMarcus Ware, the Broncos automatically won the AFC Championship!

I thought you were playing around, so my bad,... I get twitching when I think of "the TRADE! Grrrr ! All good !!!

I don't see where Gabbert's and Boldin's could even compare,... but don't bother responding! Unimportant today! We lost Art Jones (as expected) but this ain't a bad day in Charm City! My sphincter is relaxed!

Ice water coursing through his veins!

One football notwithstanding,... what kind of Receiver is Aaron Mellette? Does anybody actually know? So, what you're saying is he's not worth exploring? He's no better than those other bench warmers we just dumped? I say we have a whole training camp and pre-season to see what this guy is made of! If he shows talents not seen by any of our other Receivers at this point in his career the he deserves to see the field! And, speaking of spreading the [one] ball around! How can Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady or Peyton Manning throw to nine DIFFERENT Receivers in a game? Tackle Eligible???

Hey! I love vet Receivers! Joe just doesn't seem to! If Kubiak can retool Joe's mindset, then cool, but if it's the same ol Joe of the last 5 years, then Smith will be lucky to see 35 balls!

DONE THING! Just heard this on TV after logging off! Now, if we keep Daryl Smith I'll be happy!

Watching the speculation on NFL AM is almost as ridiculous and chaotic as reading some 'wish list' comments here! The only thing they've said that gives me hope is that Monroe's main "suitor", Miami, is prepared to pay KC's Albert $9.5 Mil. That's good for us on both the money and the serious team levels! Chucky P wants Art Jones and not much talk about Daryl Smith,... so, we'll see at 4:30!

Steve Smith would be an expensive waste here! First off, Joe doesn't get comfortable with 1st year FA guys regularly! It took him 3 years to find out how to target Q and Smith would only have a year! Secondly, why? We have Aaron Mellette and there are more guys much younger who wouldn't hit the Cap like Smith would!

Thanks much,... plus I saved the site! Thanks again!

If we do sign the 'Dragonfly' I wonder if Doss is still an option to hold on to? I'm not sure why we haven't heard anything about Deonte Thompson! I guess we'll see how he factors in or is dangled in a package once FA starts!

Kubiak vs Castillo,.... Wouldn't be WWF the "Raven Way" without some inside bickering! Did Dennison make Shaub better?

I gave you a Plus,... I like the way you worded that! I, too, want to see an offensive identity established that's not as stoic as has been the case recently! I would have been a bit more caustic in my statement! Great post!

Don't pull the curtains shut on Norv Turner! After all this time, he may yet be available!

Find some "new blood",... not the same dusty ol guys revolving around the league! Not an endorsement for Kyle but just sayin' the son's ain't the dad!
