  1. Goodbye to All, Enjoyed reading your thoughts and posting my own. I won't be moving to FB. Best wishes to all my Raven brothers and sisters.
  2. Still have not seen a Power Ranking or Vegas odds with the Ravens in the top 10 or even top half of the league, but we do have a good defense.
  3. WOW, you're such a Debbie Downer, glass 3/4 empty guy. Four months to the start of the season and you've given up on the team already. Give Ozzie a chance, he knows there's work to be done. Wanna rethink that negative attitude crap?
  4. This just in from Bleacher Rpt, RICHARD JANVRIN ... "If you thought the Baltimore Ravens defense was intimidating before the draft, look again: It got a lot more scary. With their first-round pick, the Ravens took Alabama defensive back Marlon Humphrey. While Humphrey may be a cornerback out of the gate, he might end up being a better safety in the long-run which is a position the Ravens do not need. However, with Brandon Carr and Jimmy Smith, the Ravens have found more depth at the position, making this secondary one of the best in the entire league. The Ravens lost defensive end Lawrence Guy this offseason, the Ravens addressed their pass rush with Houston edge rusher Tyus Bowser. While he may be a bit of a project, Bowser is one of the most athletic guys you'll find in this entire class. He still learning a lot of the intricacies of football, but he should be a pretty productive pass-rusher when asked to this season. Wormley was a great value in round three and he'll serve as a nice run-stuffer who has drawn comparisons to Guy, who now plays for the New England Patriots. Williams is another project player who didn't play much in college, but should develop into at least a pass-rushing specialist. Their first offensive player was taken in the fourth-round in Siragusa who should start day one at left guard, pushing Alex Lewis over to right tackle, helping out the offensive line some. While the Ravens didn't exactly draft a ton of impact, day one, starters, they drafted plenty of great pieces that really improved their defense—they could be the best defense in the sport with their new additions in 2017. That alone warrants a spot here." No if the offense can just be a bit less ... offensive.
  5. The Ravens may have whiffed on the offensive side of the ball this year but in the 2014, '15 n '16 draft we picked up plenty of talent that has been coached-up and needs to step up. WR: Campanaro, Perriman, Moore TE: Gillmore, MWilliams, Boyle, Waller RB: Taliaferro, West, Dixon, Allen OL: Urschel There are plenty of targets there for Joe to throw to and Stanley, Yanda, Goose, and Lewis are a great start at protecting and opening holes. The offense can do it if Flacco can just get past being Average Joe.
  6. This could be a Matt Stover 2.0 year featuring Justin Tucker.
  7. I hate both of our coordinators and don't think we're ever going to see our full potential until these are addressed....... Agree; everything about them says old school, old habits, well-worn schemes. Not much excitement on either side of the ball.
  8. A good, positive homer attitude. Okay then.
  9. Most drafted players are not plug-n-play saviors anyway; Ravens have multiple linemen & receivers in their stable. It's time for them to step up and fill the holes. We all watched as our favorite offensive players went off the board bang bang bang right in front of our pick. Not Ozzie's fault. He drafted last year for this year. Lets hope his picks step up.
  10. I really don't care who the Ravens pick today as long as they are the best player on the board. We need some 5-stars and at the moment we don't have any.
  11. Round 1 goes to Cleveland; they improved their team immensely. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, & Baltimore added much less glamorous (read fan favorite) picks. Day 2 is make or break for the Ravens. No Hail Marys today pls.
  12. Four Bama players available and we picked the 4th best. Color me less than excited with the selection. Would have preferred Gareon Conley but I'm sure Ozzie knows best.
  13. Cleveland is starting with a killer draft; I would not automatically be pencilling in a 'W' on the schedule.
  14. CB picked, moving on to day 2. Still looking for WR, ER, OL. Git'er done.
  15. Bill Polian at the end of the show critiqued the board and said not one o-lineman was worthy of a 1st round selection. Much better value at other positions. fwiw
