While that's true Bmore, you'll also have answers to those assumptions prior to the draft, so it won't be an unknown by then.

Trust me, I wouldn't be jumping up and down and I'd probably feel the same way that I did about the Mosley pick- I understand the pick, great player, just not who I wanted.

I mean maybe not early but definitely in the mid rounds they could snag a small school QB with talent and potential but it would definitely make sense because next year flacco is getting paid way too much for his performance this year.

lol we won the super bowl three seasons ago because of our awesome defense and because flaccos weapons made him look really good.

lmbo Seriously. Our defense was ranked 18th. They blew a 28-6 lead in the SB and nearly lost! And those weapons? Two of them just made Kap look so good he's sitting on the bench. The 3rd was cut from SD, is now a Steeler and did nothing again today. Get a grip.

Lol dude pechillo you're not serious right? You do realize that we gave up more points and yards than any other Super Bowl winning team in history right? Even the biggest Flacco haters will admit that 11-0 TD-INTs was the primary reason for that run.

That's awesome, I'll have to check it out

definitely bud

PAT's are there to let people relax and let the audience grab a snack. This is just change to make a change

I like it - we have a good kicker, so anything that makes kicking the ball that much more challenging plays into our favor.

Yeah. How stupid to make a change that makes the game more interesting and competitive.

I'm looking forward to watch him fill McPhee's big shoes

Him and Mosley can do work together throughout the years.

He may be the third great #81

hahaha right? i was thinking that too

i agree as well, just a thought though. i think he would be able to help a lot

Way, way too much $$$ especially with Pitta

He want's too much money. Bad mix with having Pitta on board too.

Maybe, but not with our first pick.

CB no, but At Safety it is a possibility. He's an outstanding tackler. Seems to be stiff in coverage at times.

I agree P&B, love him at Safety.

Hes a better saftey than Cb, Takles great, knows how to blitz from the FS poaition. raw talent good get for any team.

i just see so much of Anquan Boldin in Jaelen Strong. Strong's vertical and power to go up and snatch a ball is similar to Boldin's. And Flacco and Boldin had GREAT chemistry with each other. I think WR at 26 and then one more in the 4th. We've done that before and it makes sense honestly. Unless Perriman is available then I think he could be our Julio Jones kind of, but that's a different topic. I still think Strong and Flacco will be a great tag team in the air.

What concerns me is his agility, he lacks burst out of breaks and route running savvy. I've also heard he isn't nearly as strong as Q (an asset you can use when you're lacking quickness).

He could develop these qualities over time (strength, route running) or not.

Do you think he'll be able to seriously develop route craftyness and unpredictabilty? (some do some don't - e.g. Torrey)

jalen strong will not be in the black and purp

David Johnson, Tj Yeldon, or Tevin coleman type RB

if they havent alreaddy taken Gordon/Gurley. But i think AZ takes gurley III

i have AZ taking Gurley also. And I think someone like the Chargers will trade up after their first pick to draft Gordon before we are on the clock. I like Coleman and Johnson but not Yeldon, i think Yeldon is maxed out at potential.

Suggs and Doom are not spring chickens any more and are in their 30's but I don't doubt that they will be able to be solid pass rushers again. Upshaw also will be a free agent next year in 2016 and it's not even clear if The Ravens will be able to re-sign him so yeah that's makes it even more important to get a replacement now than later. Smith and Webb can be one of the best cornerback duo in the league but both are injury prone especially Webb. Asa Jackson seems to be hi...

Suggs & Doom might not be spring chickens but Smith Sr is even less of one and outside of him we have a receiving corps that has proven little. So I'd say weighing it out, WR/TE are much much bigger needs.

True. I think it depends on who's available honestly. The Ravens should stick to their board and not get desperate cause they need help at receiver position. I'm pretty sure they will address the receiver position in the first three rounds but I definitely will not be surprised if their first pick in the draft is a defensive player especially since I think most of the top receivers will be gone by the time they pick.

i wouldnt call strong a slot guy considering he catches the back shoulder-sideline fade better than any wr ive seen in a while lol

Like I said, I would very much welcome the addition of a WR on day one so long as he'll pan out a #1 (eventually). I guess we'll just have to wait and see what Ozzie does come April 30th boys.

I do really like Darius Davis as well. Check him out. probably the most underrated prospect in the draft. He can do damage in the league with right coaching.

Hill, Sankey, hyde, etc. were all very good prospects in their own right, just not 1st round guy.

Ajayi is currently my #3 RB (Coleman, Gurely above him) I just don't see him going later than the mid second.

thats true a lot of RB's will be flying off the board during the 2nd round

maybe one TE and one Safety. But I say two TE's cuz we did that with Pitta and Dickson and we kept one of them who turned out to be really good.

1-wr, 2.cb, 3.rb, 4.wr, 5.olb, 6.dt, 7.de, 8.ol(g) 9.and 10. best player available. this would be my draft sequence with our ten picks regardless of which round we draft in.ideally i want to see us trading out of the first round to get an extra 3rd or 4th round pick.

Putta and Dickson TE draft class was increbily strong. This TE draft class in very weak

If we could move up without giving up more than a third and a 5th, maybe. I don't think we'll risk the second round pick unless it's Amari Cooper, and even then I don't know if they'll do that.

I just really think Strong is our best option when it comes to a receiver in our vicinity of the draft, and i think other teams value his athleticism as much as the ravens do. If we can't get Strong in the first, we trade back and get more picks. More picks allow us to move up in the draft by trading as well. trading up in mid rounds would be awesome as well.

I could see them trading up for Agholor or Perriman in the 2nd, or trading up for Dezmin Lewis in the third. But probably not in the 1st.

Gresham is more than a blocking TE. he just hasn't reached his full potential. He still has been to multiple Pro Bowls.

okok i respect thatttt. There are alot of BIG Tightends in this draft ozzie can steal... No doubt Ozie will draft one. Ok maybe ozzie will get That monster from Penn state in the draft for a TE. Jesse James.. get our gronk uk???? But after a CB or safety thats how deep TE is

Build up some weapons for Joe Cool baby.. My boy Trestman would love itttt too.

except for my man steve nelson

Im praying we get both!

I hope MGMT has Strong in the plans and WANTS him

@pechillo; I disagree. TJ Yeldon at 6'1 225 has the size to handle the NFL load. Additionally, compared to previous Bama RB's he hasn't had the same amount of carries. He's had 576 carries in 3 seasons, which isn't a great deal at his size. I believe he's got a lot of room for improvement at 21 years old.

@TDubbs just because he has the size doesn't mean he has more potential, not every player in college has potential. You can tell by which ones do and which ones don't. Its tough to explain but its out there.

They're gonna draft Melvin or a big receiver. that's all. just need BIg bodies for Trestman. Yeldon, JAY AJAYI, are perfect targets. along with jalen and kevin white.

Not pounding the table for him, but the idea that he's done because of poor numbers in Minnesota may not be true - look at SSS, when we signed him last year half the board said we'd just signed a washed up 35 year old who was a waste of a roster spot. Sometimes just going to a better QB and having a starter across from you who is respected by defenses can make a major difference.

@Ravenslifer i agree completely, but declining isn't the only reason I don't see the Ravens getting him. I stated them previously.

Jeremy Butler supposed to be a strong step up this season.

could be worse, we could have traded him to the Steelers

I keep having this vision of us acquiring Muhammad Wilkerson from the Jets lol.

That would be great JO

It's the usual. Remember when Heap & Mason went?

yeah but for some reason this feels worse. Rice's situation really screwed us up financially

Post June 1 cut leaves $4 mil in dead money. Question is - what is 8 mil saved in space good for at that stage?

the 8 mil you save can only be used after june 1 which would do us no good at this moment.

The other thing is Webb could ply FS and I am more than comfortable with that also I think as a post June 1 cut he is like 6mil in dead money next year
