I know none of us like the Patriots, but if you honestly don't think this deflate gate thing is stupid then come on bruh. The Pats still punished the Colts in that game. If it was a close game then yeah I could see why it would be a big deal, but the Pats completely out played them, and I think people forget that. The Pats vs Ravens was the REAL AFC Championship game. Sleazy as they may be, Belichick and Brady are great. We hate them because they win, and because the way they win isn't "honorable." Yeah I understand it was cheating, and they should be punished in someway, but anything more than a fine would be an overreaction. Do we really want Brady suspended? Thats like suspending Michael Jordan for posterizing you with a slightly deflated basketball. Plus, the Pats play the Steelers in week one. Do we really want the Steelers to get a Bradyless Pats team? Just fine the Pats and Brady, and let us all get over this blown out of proportion "scandal."
Read the entire Wells report last night. Brady was far more directly involved than I thought the NFL would ever end up concluding...or maybe admitting. Wells exposed Brady as a liar as well as a cheater. Kudos to the Wells investigation for being fair and impartial. Now I want the NFL to bring down the hammer on the Golden Boy with the same force others have gotten for a lot less.
The entire Wells report was over 200 pages…. Are you sure you read the WHOLE thing lol?
What a beautiful video. It makes me miss Ed Reed so much. Such a down to earth guy, but he would still light you up nonetheless. My favorite Raven, first ballot hall of famer, we love you. Heroes are remembered, but legends never die. Water covers 75% of the earth, and Ed Reed covers the other 25%.
A month ago, I thought Bud Dupree was the CJ Mosley of this draft. A top 10 talent that might fall to us, and take the reigns of a ravens legend (Terrell Suggs), regarding Bud Dupree. However, a week before the draft I changed my mind. Dupree is a great talent, don't get me wrong, but he just didn't seem great to me; plus he still needs a few years to develop. I like the Breshad Perriman pick better, even if Dupree was there, because Perriman is a top 5 talent. If Perriman didn't go to a small school with a bad QB his junior year, and if he didn't miss the combine due to injury, he would have been a top 15 pick.
I honestly think the AFC North had the best draft as a division this year. Our division just keeps getting tougher, and the Browns still don't have a solid QB yet%u2026 We had the best draft in the division, though. Mel Kiper thinks the Ravens had the best draft in the entire NFL. Mel has been doing this a long time, and he has a very high football IQ. He might not be 100% right about all of his predictions, but he is a great evaluator of talent. If he thinks it is the best, and we all are in love with it, and Ozzie and Harbaugh are in love with it, then I think AT WORST this will still be a top 10 draft of the 2015 draft class in 3 years.
Perriman has fantastic hands. When you hear people say "concentration drops" that means he started looking down field to see where he was going to go before the ball was in his hands. That can be coached, and that can be personally changed with self disciplined. I saw Breshad make some amazing catches. He has natural hands when he is concentrated.
I love how his dad was in the NFL. It is rare that a son of an NFL player becomes more talented than the father, but in this case, he is. His dad now has a a second chance in the NFL, in sense. He can teach his son everything that he wish he would have done when he was in the league. His fathers role in Breshad's growth in the NFL will be a HUGE factor.
La'el Collins would be awesome, but he is not going to choose us. He wants to go to a place where he can start and make a name for himself. We have depth on the O-line, and if James Hurst can improve this year, we will have a solid option if Monroe or Wagner go down again.
I didn't even need to read this article, because I already knew everything he has done. In other words, I didn't need to REED this article.
My favorite Raven. Now that Troy and him are officially retired there are no more elite Safeties in the league right now. There are some good ones, but no elite ones. Ed Reed is the best Safety of this century thus far.
A Redskin fan buddy of mine said to me that "Perriman's dreads makes him look like Predator, and then you guys drafted Mad Maxx! Ravens are rocking now!" I concur with his observation
GO RAVENS!
We got a predator at Wide Receiver, and a road warrior at TE. Sounds deadly lol.
The only reason why Tray Walker wasn't taken higher was because he played out of the spotlight at a small school. I think he is an absolute steal.
I LOVE having Steve Smith on our team. We might have the youngest receiving corps in the NFL, and Steve Smith is their daddy. He is a huge asset to us because he is going to set the bar for our young receivers. They have a lot to learn from him, and Smith seems like he wants to teach/lead these guys.
I think we got 3 legitimately potential first round picks with our first 3 picks.
Watch RB Buck Allen's highlight tape. He is seriously like a Justin Forsett/Arian Foster. He is awesome, and I think he could be Forsett's heir as our starter in a few year. CB Tray Walker is a BEAST. Unlike most corners, he loves tacking. I saw him lighting up people. His technique is raw, and he still has a lot of work to do, but he could be a star if he gets developed correctly.
Gotta love the draft every year its the same. Fans of every team get really excited over players they most of the time never even heard of. Then they act like little mel kipers with their breakdown of the players they never heard of. Its pretty entertaining reading fans comments.
I'm Mel Kipers nephew, and I do what I want lol.
One of the best drafts that I think we have ever had on paper. I'd give it an A in all honesty.
Marcus Peters, Melvin Gordon, Shane Ray, and Bud Dupree were all gone by the time we picked. For what we had left this was the best we could do. In my opinion, being left with this pick is a blessing in disguise. I know Ozzie wanted defense, but he got stuck with drafted the last elite 1st round receiver in the draft. I can't wait to see this kid develop. He is the most talented WR that we have ever had, and he is our best shot to finally having a franchise true #1 receiver.
Breshad is going to look good in the Ravens #81 jersey. He is a good heir to the Boldin #.
I just found out that Perriman had a hamstring injury that led to him missing out on the combine. If he would have ran a sub 4.3 at the combine, like he did at his pro day, then he would not have fallen to us at 26. This is a STEAL.
I just did a ton of research on him. I compared him to the top 10 receivers of last years, and this years, drafts and he might be the most talented one out of all of them. Now remember, that has nothing to do with the on field performance, but with height, speed, hand size, vertical jump, arm length, and strength, he is the superior all around receiver. Kevin White and Perriman are almost identical, but Perriman is faster. One scout clocked him at a 4.16 at Perriman's pro day. AT 6'3 THATS RIDICULOUS. Guys%u2026. If we can get him polished the sky is literally the limit.
The more this pick sits with me the more I love it.
As of now, OLB Eli Harold is the prize for us in the 2nd round if he can fall far enough. If he gets taken, I'm thinking maybe CB Rollins or TE Funchess. I don't think Maxx Williams will fall all the way to us.
On Gil Brandt's top 140 players on NFL.com he had Perriman as the 10th best player in the draft. Here is another fun fact, DeVante Parker was #11 on that same list, behind Perriman. Perriman is the same height, and faster than Kevin White. Guys, yes his routes are not impressive, and yes his hands need some polishing, but the potential this guy has is ridiculous; and I think that potential is why the Ravens drafted him.

Comparing PED's with deflated footballs is ridiculous. PED's literally help a player make their body inhuman. A deflated football hardly changes anything. Yeah Brady likes them slightly deflated, it is still the same weight, and it is still a football. I don't think Brady thought that it was a big deal at the time when he originally asked for his balls to be SLIGHTLY deflated. I know this will get neg voted since people on here HATE the Patriots, and their argument is it is "cheating." Yes, it is cheating, but it is not that big of a deal. It is a minor cheat. They should get punished, but being suspending is literally so stupid. The Patriots will get fined, and all of the media and exposure of this is punishment enough. Saying the argument that "If you don't suspend Brady then other teams will do it." No. This kind of media exposure and reputation tainting is a worse punishment than a fine, and teams HATE it. We should know, because we went through the same thing with Ray Rice. Did we get annoyed by it? Did we hate all of it? Yes. Why? Because IT IS A PUNISHMENT ON ITS OWN.
