But, if we bring him in now, we won't know what the young guys can do. I'd rather wait until later in August to make a move like that.

No thanks. I think we've got some good up and coming DBs that need to see the field.

All of the original mods came from other sites (of course). We found that problems from those sites followed us here so we changed our identities. Now most of our mods are "home grown" and we're very proud of that. This site has really grown and grown up over the years.

We took an oath never to divulge that information. We went "generic" for good reasons, most of which had to do with our previous participation on other sites.

We re-registered as Mod 2, Mod 3, etc. Back then the software didn't allow name changes so we had to start over.

I was the second person to sign up, but I lost all my history (and thousands of posts) when we went generic. :-(

Please resume discussing NBA, not each other. Don't make us close this thread.

@RavensInsider: Bills DT Marcell Dareus arrested last week in New York on three misdemeanor, four vehicle and traffic charges, according to Buffalo News

I'm just concerned that we drafted too many leaders. Somebody has to follow or it all breaks down.

Which just proves that culling rumors is not an exact science.

I'm going to interject and then this thread needs to immediately return to being an UDFA discussion. Venting belongs in the Vent Thread. I mean immediately, too. Several of you have been "squabbling" very disrespectfully and have derailed this thread. Yes, warnings were issued to several of you, and they were well earned. No one reported anyone though there SHOULD have been reported posts. Going forward, EVERYONE and their opinion is to be treated with respect at all times. If you think an opinion is stupid, then dispute the opinion or move on. Do not call the poster stupid, ignorant, a troll or anything of the ilk. If you see someone being treated disrespectfully, report the post. Do not pile on. If you need additional clarification, please click on the Board Basics link at the bottom of the page. You all agreed to these rules when you signed up to post on this site. And one more thing, when you can prove to me that you have never made a typo or grammatical error, then you may criticize someone else's typing. Until I see that proof, knock it off.

Can someone please check the first page and see if we're missing any legitimate reports?

I will try to keep the first page updated, but anything I add has to clearly state who is reporting it and the player's name, school, and position.

That one's a bit "random". Can you source it with a name and from a site we've heard of?

Please remember this thread is for RAVENS signings. Other team's signings go in the other UDFA thread.

I'm not disappointed.

As soon as the draft is over.

Please remember to clearly label rumors and desires as such. "News" should be sourced. If your post disappears, it's probably because it presented rumor as fact. Also, keep in mind that nothing is official until there's a signed contract. Every year UDFA "signings" fall through. When I get time, I'll try to post the updates here. Here's the official list as of Monday afternoon. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Ravens-Sign-17-Undrafted-Free-Agents/058fa495-45d3-487a-883e-63f019d16649 Continued in next post.

I'm pretty sure the "type" is tough, smart, aggressive.

Genius? Hope he's not too smart.

Reminder: venting should be done in the Vent Thread.

Also good at picking up the blitz and chipping.

Musa would have been a true star if not for the horrible injury due to the horse-collar. I still cringe when I remember that game.

They're definitely looking to the future instead of this year.

Strengths Has a good compact frame with long arms and big hands. Chippy, competitive blocker -- latches on and plays through the whistle. Good finisher. Natural hands catcher. Catches in a crowd and will shake off a hit and run through contact. Rises to a challenge and matched up well as a base blocker vs. Alabama's Adrian Hubbard. Functional positional, pass protector. Very durable.
