    I bet Tavon Young out performs Jimmy Smith this year! I would also bet he gets to a pro bowl before Jimmy does. Teams will learn fast not to throw in his direction.

    No lol. As much as I like Tavon, you are definitely sleeping on Jimmy Smith. He is a top 5 corner if not higher in the NFL and one of the most underrated corners in the league. Led mostly every category last season until hurt. A team that was #1 the first 12 weeks went down to #9 or whatever it was in just the final 4 weeks with bottom 10 performances in those four weeks.

    Tavon is good but Jimmy Smith healthy is elite. People sleep on him because his lack of durability. But he really is a star in this league.

    BS

    I'm dreaming a little but...

    Let Bwill walk

    Resign Wagner

    Let juice walk. Dixon is just as versatile 🤞

    Sign Marshall

    Sign Hightower

    Draft a CB round 1

    Draft a Rusher round 2

    Sign Mangold or draft a big C Round 3

    Draft a S round 3

    BPA rest of the draft

    Question is, do we realistically have the cap space for those 3 guys and does the draft board set up in a way that makes this possible. The Hightower signing is probably a stretch. 

     

     

    1-Restructure/extend Dummervil, Pitta, Wallace and Webb to a lower cap contract.

    2-Let go Shareece, Lewis, Zuttah, Arlington, Power, Watson

    3- Sign Juice, Wagner, Guy let Brandon walks.

    4- Sign B Marshall, Center Mangold and a cut veteran CB ( those won t count against compensatory picks)

    5- Drafts: 1st rd : Barnett/Cook/Jamal/ Hooker if not available trade back for Tim Williams/ best available CB/ pass rusher. 2nd rd: best available CB/Safety

    3rd rd: again best available DB, and Center for pick 99th. Then the rest of the picks can be used for depth.

    After that we will watch the ravens play next february at US Bank Stadium, Minneapolis.

    You forgot to say.....Get rid of or trade Jimi Smith

    This is a pass happy league and the corners are not going to last until #16. Ozzie better get on the horn and trade up a couple slots. He'll have to give up one of his precious 4th or 5th rounder to do it but he'd better make a move.

    I hear what you're saying and in any other draft I would agree 100%. But this is the craziest corner class I've ever seen. I think DJ said he had 10 corners in his top 50 players and he wanted to add more. There are elite ones too. There are 4-6 that I would be happy if we picked them at 16. The top 2 rounds are loaded overall too. A pro bowl corner will be available at 16 imo.
    However, after they not only relied on Wright, but paid him and stuck with him as long as they did, I wouldn't be surprised if they took another similar approach. Like signing Davon House who's about to be cut.
    I know people that like to pick at post will do so will this statement, but jeez I think it'd be nice to have Norman. I know he's expensive and annoying, but he's BA on the field. And would Thrive on our D. We just need to get a shut down corner this off season somehow. If we do that and Jimmy stays healthy, our secondary will go from a weakness to a huge strength.

    Jimi Smith never stays healthy and he is soooooo slooowww trying to keep up and he Cannot Tackle......wake up!
