I think a 2 or 3 year deal with him that's mostly incentive based would be really good. Watkins, Perriman, and Wallace would be a good top set of WRs for the team, as long as they're healthy. I'd gladly give a third round pick to the Bills for him, the Ravens if could a good contract worked out.

I think the Bills would take a third round pick for him since it's higher than any comp pick, and it lets them have some type of guaranteed payoff since his contract is in the last year (they said they won't renew it for the 5th year option).

The bills gave up their 2012 first rounder and their 2013 first and fourth round pick to trade up and get him.Youre not getting him for anything less than a first and I think hes worthy of our first.

wouldnt make any difference. average and insignificant 

How wouldnt either of those players make a difference if they could stay healthy and out of trouble?Josh Gordan was still making big plays in his most recent games last preseason against Grimes and Michael Floyd didnt miss any time so he should still be the play maker he was in arizona.Adding Floyd to what we already have would give us a very respectable WR corps.And most importantly,both of them would be cheap additions.

Its not a trade,but I wouldnt mind it if we picked up Michael Floyd or Josh Gordon after hes released by the browns.

if we gonna grade the draff now it is fair to grade oz and decost closer on why they neglectd the offense until the no pressur draff rounds  how did we get to round 4 wiff two thrid round pics befor we took offens?  ok r D was ovah rated and did gas out late but if joe is r guy why still no weapons?  but the killr for this yr is picin a no cova corna wiff only two yrs on a team almost anyone wuld look good on.  bama did was not in a game last yr until the one wiff Clemson and Humphry was not a star in any way. the questshon now is how many numba 1 pics are oz and decost gonna boot before we say enuff is  enuff?  we need to know who pushed for Humphry was it decost?  was it oz? we need to know who took r numba 1 pic and spent it on Humphry and not ramcheck or robinson, who let litty fall to a slot jus befor us and not land him? who nevah evan considered myrick and took a cb in the six rd that is gonna be silly.  who which one thought this sophamore was the next jimmy smith and what r they lookin at?  who can't see no more?

Considering its our last week with the forums I just want to respond to one of your post and commend you with an A++ grade for trolling.You've mastered the art of rustling jimmies.

C+ / B-

It's the second best outcome I could expect considering they ignored the desperately weak side of the ball in favor of the top ten side.But If they're going to ignore the state of the Oline early in the draft and the state of our WR/TE corps all together,then it better be in favor of our pass rush and CB's! I think we'll regret not taking Oj Howard over Humphrey,but other than that I like the fact that they double dipped at pass rusher,o line and corner.If we can look back 2-3 years from now and say they hit on atleast one of the picks from each of those groups then I think the team will be in good shape.I would go with a strong B grade but I'm worried about Humphrey being a bust.It seems like our FO just goofs on top picks for some reason.

I would've been completely happy with him at 16. Got him at 78. Steal of the draft so far imo. 

Do yourself a favor and watch the sports science on him. 

The explosive get off faster and more powerful than Robert Quinn, thighs as big as Arik Armstead while 40 lbs lighter, tighter/faster spin move than Vic Beasley...

Got up to 15 mph in 2 closing steps to the QB delivering a punishing blow. 

 

Im salivating. 

Can you give me the sports science link?I cant find it.

I was hoping for Rivers over Williams.

Sixteen games - score -  0 - 0

Lol 

3-0 Tucker can score atleast one from 80 each game if we asked him to.

Please draft Derek Rivers!!!!!!!!

Fingers crossed that we double dip at pass rusher and get Derek Rivers.

I like the Tyus Bowser pick alot better than I like the Humphrey pick.Still cant believe we didnt take Oj Howard.

What happened to BPA?

If the Ravens dont do what it takes to draft Corey Davis in the first round...

Switch the titans pick to a W and I agree with Hensleys picks.

I think you are vastly underestimating how,poorly Pittsburgh matches up against the Ravens.  They barely won a game at home with the sole reason being a lack of secondary depth which has been addressed and early on in the,season when they are most likely to be healthy...no chance.

Alot of our success against the steelers has been because weve been able to contain Bell.Hes the most important piece in that offense IMO.Even more important than Brown.Just look at how their offense looked in the championship game when he went down or how it looked when he was out of that playoff game we played them in a few years ago.Im bringing up Bells importance because we just lost both of our stud DEs and our stud ILB this off season.I want to wait and see how that impacts our run defense before I get confident that we can continue beating them.Then theres our pass rush.We got no where near Ben with Timmy,Doom and Guy and it kind of was what lost us that game.We should wait and see what we have there too before we get over confident about how we match up with teams. 

Im predicting game one of the season will be the home game against the colts.Either that or a divisional opponent.

Im all for the ravens drafting a WR as long as its not Mike Williams.He has bust written all over him.

Menish Mehta (sp?) is apparently reporting that the Jets would be open to trading Eric Decker.

Coming off surgery, but hes a quality WR especially in the mold of what we need. Mid round pick might get it done.

Obviously spit balling here, and i dont think anyones inquired formally.... so its nothing yet. Not sure how id feel about that, or what id be ok giving up to get him.

 

Although its also a possibility they still release him outright and are just waiting for him to clear a medical eval. 

He fits the mold of the veteran chain mover with some gas left in the tank that the front office described.If they were to cut him I'd advocate for the team to sign him,but I wouldnt like to see us trade for him with that high of a base salary and I don't think any team would.

I don't think you know what depth is.  Depth is what you have BEHIND the starters, as in the people who WON'T be on the field every play.  

Right now the two starters are Wallace and Perriman with the later finally getting the much needed off-season to grow what he needed, but yes BEHIND them there is not much. The people behind them are the depth.

Thanks for the explanation,good sir.I'll be sure to use this information in the future.

This post has nothing to do with WR depth. It has to do with you thinking the WR core isn't very good.

If we need actual DEPTH at WR, that means that you're looking to add a role player or a bench player to your roster. That's what depth is. 

So if you think that depth is actually the issue, then no, it makes no sense to use a first round pick on a player who is depth. You use a first round pick on a player to play a lot, probably start, and be a contributor.

So make up your mind. Do we need depth, or do we need another starting-caliber player?

If your WR corps isnt very good then that also means it has no depth lol.I would like for us to draft a first round WR and let him battle Perriman for a starting job.Since we don't use many 3 WR sets,the guy who isnt starting and not getting much playing time can become the depth.

Our receiving corps(both WR and TE ) is parallel to our CB situation from over the past few years.Wallace is the Jimmy Smith and if he's injured we have the equivalent of Shareece Wright as our best option and nothing behind that.

While I agree that the WR depth is pretty limited, but honestly, name a team that has decent WR depth.  

 

The packers have 3 solid WRs and a solid pass catching TE,the patriots have 2 studs TE's and a few solid WRs,the doplhins have a solid TE and Landry,Parker and Stills and I could go on and one with the steelers,bengals,saints,giants,bucs,raiders etc.I shouldve titled this pass catcher depth.I also had pass catching TEs in mind but I just didnt mention them.

Most teams have a true #1 and decent WRs at the #2 and #3, our problem is 

the lack of vet/game experience at the #2 and #3 positions. 

 

Thats my point.Most teams have depth and we don't.If we have one single injury to what we do have then it gets REALLY ugly.Pitta is not what he used to be and he's the only decent enough pass catcher we have at TE so theres nothing to hold us over there.Its almost like 2013 again which is why I think adding a pass catcher is a big need.If Wallace goes down theres literally no on else to go to at TE or WR and its worse than 2013.Thats why Im thinking Corey Davis or John Ross is a must in the first round.

If Mike Wallace goes down our offense is done for.We have ZERO depth at WR and our run game cant be counted on.Im hopeful that Perriman can become a good player,but expecting him to go from what we saw last year to a guy who can carry the load in the passing game is a bit much.Dont neg me for saying this lol,but a WR corps with just Perriman,Moore,a mid to late round draft pick(I'm assuming we'll draft atleast atleast a mid to late round WR ) and Campanaro could/would easily be the worst WR corps in the league.If its Perriman who has another knee issue and is out then I still wouldnt feel comfortable with just Wallace,Moore and Camp.

IMO its a must that we go after one of the big three WRs in the first round.Corey Davis is my fave for who we should pick at 16 or trade up for if he drops out of the top 10.My only worry with him is the no name DBs he faced in college.After watching John Ross games repeatedly since the combine and seeing him work Adoree Jackson I feel like hes more of a sure thing,but I still like Davis' upside more.Another reason I'm thinking we should go after one of these WRs is because its not every year that we're in position to draft WRs this dynamic and with this much upside.

What are you guys/girls thoughts on our WR depth?Do you agree that its a must that we take a WR in the first round and if so who?

I havent agreed with 90 percent of the personnel moves weve made since the off season before our superbowl year.We ranked in the bottom of the league in pass rush but we trade our second most productive pass rusher for a third round swap?????We rank in the bottom half of the league in offense and had a top ten defense but we spend all of our resources on defense?????With the way the front office and coaching staff has been drafting and developing lately outside of the 2014 draft class,theres no reason to believe this higher third round pick will pay off more than Timmy in a contract year wouldve.

Super funny how everyone's saying we would've got a 3rd round comp pick for Timmy. He's been overrated his whole Ravens career. He's not even close to sniffing the pro bowl. He basically makes as many bone headed penalties after the whistle each year as he does sacks. Great trade

If a team liked him enough to swap a high third round pick for a late 3rd round comp,then a team wouldve been willing to give him a high enough contract to get a 4th rounder.I actually wouldn't put it past a team paying him enough to get us a 3rd after seeing Ricky and Juice become the highest paid players at their positions last month.
