  1. I see Ozie's and Co.'s thinking. We may have average talent for Joe on offense but we can get into the playoffs with that and a better defense which

    we now have after this draft. 

    Think about it. Joe , with a complete  lack of talent on offense put us in a position to win in the 4th quarter with just minutes left on several occasions

    over the last 2 years. 

    Maybe our D can make a 4th quarter stop now !

  2. I grade the draft a C+ . Here's an analysis from

    one publication :

    The Baltimore Ravens had the league's seventh-ranked defense last season. Only four teams recorded more takeaways, and only three surrendered fewer first downs. They lost two key offensive players—tackle Ricky Wagner and fullback Kyle Juszczyk—in free agency, but retained top defensive free agent Brandon Williams. 

    And yet in the first three rounds of the draft, a team in desperate team of reinforcements for quarterback Joe Flacco used all four of its draft picks on defensive players. And it's not even clear there are starting roles for cornerback Marlon Humphrey, linebacker Tyus Bowser, defensive end Chris Wormley or linebacker Tim Williams. 

    These were, generally, picks for the future, which is odd for a team that continues to lose important offensive players and has posted a winning record just once in the last four years. 

    Did the Ravens really have that luxury? They're putting a lot of eggs in questionable baskets on that side of the ball, which could end badly with guys like the unproven Breshad Perriman, the old and recently injured Danny Woodhead and whoever replaces Wagner. 

    This doesn't appear to be a team moving in the right direction.

    lol yeah, I'll go ahead and ring up Mayock on my cell - he said he had Humphrey going 13 to the Cards

    Let me call Zierlein real quick - he said #11 to the Saints

    Is McShay on your side - nope he had him at #19

    How 'bout Kiper - try again, he had him at 28

    Perhaps you should slow down on the powder and actually watch a player, because late second rounder is laughable. Link me the "experts" that you're talking about.

    Kiper at 28 is more accurate  but we picked him at 16 !!! Freaking 16 !!@!!!!!!!

    The more I check out my favorite board and type away and read away, I'm struck by how lonely and uneventful my life will be when they yank away this board for good May 5th! I just don't see why they're doing it because I promise them on my future grave, I'll never ever follow them on facebook or twitter ever period!

    You still have time to reconsider and make Ravens fans really happy and relieved!

    I'll send you a therapy dog with a Ravens jersey on .

    LOL, nice try kid.

    I guess you didn't read the reasons why they closed it at all.

    But hey, your infatuation with me is nothing to be ashamed of. Its certainly not creepy at all, no matter what anybody says.

    LOL, there's 53 roster spots and a lot of them will be spent on guys who won't contribute beyond special teams.

    If you're grand plan was to draft 2-3 corners in this draft and think they're going to come in right away and contribute, your expectations are unfounded.

    This was always going to be a mix of FA corners (of which there isn't a ton) and rookies via the draft.
     

    Are you still in a nervous breakdown over the forum closing?
