I would've loved to see them pick a WR, but let's be honest, they were all gone before the 16th pick. And instead of focusing on giving Flacco "better" weapons, how about we focus on Flacco better utilizing the weapons he already has? I believe we already have a very solid group of WRs with Wallace, Perriman, Campanaro and Moore. What we need is a better running game and a healthy Flacco.

Every time I see Camp make a play I wonder how good he could've been by now if it weren't for all his injuries. Let's hope he finally has a solid injury-free year.

The only thing I remember from Jernigan were his dumb, undisciplined penalties that ruined drives and games.

The biggest cruise ship ever built is barely wide enough to house a regulation sized football field. Yeah.. nice try.

Life in the NFL today. Whatever team pays me the most I'm leaving. Simple formula. Juice was way over paid but good for him. When he is released by the Niners as a cap casualty two years from now and 7 total wins later at least he was able to grab some extra cash.

Good thing Tony Jefferson had a completely different mindset..

I don't understand Pitta's restructure. Guy comes off a major injury where he sat out most of two seasons and collected injured pay, then comes back and has the best year of his career and leads all TEs in receptions, and gets asked to take less money?

I am happy about it in that it frees up cap room so we can get some talent at WR and OL, but I really don't get it.

Maybe he realizes that because of his injury history it won't be easy to find a new team despite being the leading TE and that he kinda owes the Ravens for keeping him on the team all that time (getting paid without contributing).

"Much needed speed at wide receiver". Of all the things we need, a speedy WR is about the last thing on that list.

You know where you stand as an organization when players rather come play for you than take a bigger contract elsewhere. Really excited to see him play.

If we can add one more legit CB to play opposite of Jimmy Smith, we will have one scary backfield.

That's a LOT of money for a fullback.. Put any big TE with decent blocking skills back there and you have pretty much the same deal. Juice was a great player for us, but nothing more than that. And don't forget that a lot of his catches were useless check-downs. Don't make it bigger than it is.

Anyone else worried by the idea of Hurst starting at RT next season?

Ryan's only mistake of the evening was allowing the sack that put them out of fieldgoal range, and what a costly mistake that was.

Exactly, we have seen enough of those "project" drafts who may or may not one day develop into a decent player. Especially our first couple of picks need to be players who can contribute.

As much as I would like to see Williams back with us next year, you know there's gonna be a team with too much money who offers him a contract the Ravens simply can't match. Unless Williams values a great organization over a couple more millions, there's no way the Ravens can keep him.

Although Williams is a beast, we already have a promising backup in Michael Pierce, so it would surprise me if the Ravens offer him a big contract. Trying to keep Wagner might be more realistic since good RTs are harder to find and we don't have a decent backup on the team to replace him.

All we need now is a better Center and there's no reason we shouldn't have a top 10 rushing attack next season.

It is exactly like Bisciotti said. It pretty much all comes down to luck. There are maybe one or two players in each year's draft that are guaranteed hits. Every other player comes down to luck. Don't look any further than Justin Tucker. Went undrafted and ends up being the most accurate kicker ever.

Biggest question is, can he finally stay healthy?

No offense to Lewis, but I'm pretty comfortable with our current O-line. I think it's best for Lewis to take the time he needs to get back to full health. There's no reason at all to rush him back on the field when he's not completely healthy and he's a solid backup in case something were to happen to Yanda or Stanley.

I've said this on the same article on NFL.com, I'm not at all concerned about our running game after yesterday's win. Wasn't it obvious that Flacco was easily destroying the Dolphins? Why start running it more often when the passing game is working wonders?
The only reason people were mad about abandoning the run in previous games is because the running game was clearly the better option in those games.

They ruled it a fumble on the field and there was no clear footage that showed otherwise. Seems like the correct call to me.

Tucker has been worth every single penny so far.
But, let's not forget that one field goal attempt he missed that got wiped out because of a defensive penalty. ;)

Not going to blame the refs for this loss, but that was by far the worst officiating I've seen all year.

So the Bengals are without their top running back and wide receiver. Like that's going to make much of a difference. We have one of the best defenses against the run so even if Bernard were able to play, big deal. As for our secondary, sure, it'll be "easier" without their best receiver, but much of that will depend on whether or not Jimmy Smith is healthy enough to play.

What a dumb comparison between Stanley and Tunsil. With half the season in the books we should've taken Tunsil based on the fact he's doing a good job playing the Left Guard position? What a great argument..
