Looks like Colts are going to part ways with Chuck Pagano. How amazing would it be if we got Chucky back for DC?!
Might be the most talented Ravens team this year in a long time. Very balanced. If we can stay healthy, we are super bowl champions *knock on wood*
Nate Orchard, Duke Johnson, Josh Shaw. First 3 picks.
why do you think Suggs was drafted? He broke the NCAA single season sack record and led the nation in sacks. He was drafted 22 overall. Orchard led the nation in sacks and is more of a solidified run stopper than sizzle was in college. All I'm saying is he's a late first round talent. The combine will show it, and if he hits 25 reps or more on the bench. He's the real deal. along with his 40 time.
suggs was drafted 10th overall and he was projected to go much earlier than that before his 40 time turned some teams off.
sizzle was probably the best DE in college football and the best pro prospect at DE all combined that year, he was a slam dunk pick, but some of those early teams probably wanted more "flash" from a top 10 pick(meaning a faster 40 time)
new rule change is just flat out stupid. PAT's are supposed to be easy. Thats why whenever someone ever misses it, its hilarious. Now people will be going for 2 much more, and will be so annoying when keeping track of the game
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.
NFL owes the Ravens 3 games now. Wow.
Gabriel, I blame the Raiders loss more so on Pees. We shouldn't have needed more than 30 points to beat a second year QB.
Well to be fair... as we see now that is a very competent offense with the o-line murray and the two wideouts... all im sayingis trestman could have easily won us that game
I was going to say Cardinals, Jax, and Dolphins. Raiders game was a disaster as a team effort.
Ozzie will never get a RB in the first round.
RB's will rarely go in the first round since Goodell has made the NFL a passing league
I'd argue it's more about teams realising the running game is 80% OL, 20% RB and investing more in the guys around their backs.
Gordon will be gone If Gurley is there it would be Stupid to pass him up
Pierre Garcon to Baltimore make it happen Oz
hopefully the skins cut him lol
Wouldn't bet on him being cut
Depends on what happens with Jackson, but Garcon would save $8M. Considering he hasn't cracked 1,000 yards but once and he's never had double digit touchdowns, he probably isn't worth a cap hit of $10.2M
Ravens met with Lae'l Collins today...? anyone else really surprised there?
long term left tackle?
@CalvinSmoke i think we already have our long term tackles. Monroe is a top tackle in the league and Wagner was rated the best RT in the league last year. Don't see why we would think about interviewing a high caliber OT if anything it might be to talk about his teammate Jalen Collins
We've been known to talk to guys to try and misdirect other teams about who we're interested in. I wouldn't read too much into it one way or the other.
Ravens met with Melvin Gordon and Duke Johnson. One of them will be a Raven for sure. I'm thinking Duke. He has the most potential and upside, thoughts?
Gordon is Overrated I like Abdullah from Nebraska and Duke Johnson
Ya know i really don't think he's overrated i think he has a lot of talent more talent than trent richardson and he went #3 overall. I think he's on par with Leveon Bell, but better because of how explosive he is. Bell might be quicker but Gordon is more explosive.
Gordon isn't the receiving threat that Bell is and he had an amazing offensive line in college. Very violent, tough runner who has good open field moves and a nasty spin move, but possibly overrated.
Ravens met with only 4 DB's. PJ Williams, Marcus Peters, Kevin Johnson, Quandre Diggs. Lets see who they narrow down their interests with Private interviews.
You keep talking about prospects that are not likely to be the best player available at either the first or second round pick, so expecting one of them to be the pick is very unrealistic. I don't know why you keep trying to force a CB in the first round, because based on the talent pool it's very unlikely.
I suggest you do yourself a favor and actually look at years' past in terms of who we interviewed and who we ended up drafting - the lists were very different. A little effort and you'd know this.
I think you're the one missing the point. You actually act like you're Ozzie and you're really not. Harbaugh even said that Cornerback is a position they will address. we are one cornerback and one wr away from winning the super bowl. Things change when you're that close. Ozzie will obviously go BPA. Most likely the top corners will be gone by 26. So he'll most likely trade back. But when you're one corner away from winning the super bowl. You will get a cornerback to...
Ravens trade 4th Rd pick for Bennett? thoughts??
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.
Ravens will go Defense first round.
I could argue we aren't the champs this year because we lack a big, physical WR.
^^ definitely, but most importantly, because we dont have those guys who are always gonna catch the ball, if daniels doesnt drop that perfectly placed ball, were probably celebrating at least an afc championship title
@JoeyFlex5 i think he'll get best player available and i think the most underrated player in this draft is Nate Orchard. After his combine he should be a late first rounder. And Ravens love pass rushers especially ones that have led the nation in sacks **T Sizzle** I really think we already have a good WR group. Torrey is our deep threat, Steve Smith is strong and physical, Marlon Brown can go up and snag balls, Owen Daniels and Dennis Pitta have great chemistry with Joe. I like our WR's
really sad Jacoby's gone. Anquan and Jacoby were the only reasons why we won the super bowl in 2012
Not to mention that Jacoby caught nine passes this past season and Joe had career highs in yards and touchdowns, despite several new receivers
"All Im saying is without Q, Pitta, and Jacoby in the playoffs, Flacco wouldn't have done as well."
Well, yeah, obviously, but that's true for absolutely every QB who has ever played at any level.
---
"All Im saying is without Edelman, Gronk, and Vereen in the playoffs, Brady wouldn't have done as well" ...See? You can substitute any team's #1 WR, #1 TE, #3 WR and QB and that statement is still just as true. And it wasn't just losing Q, Jaco...
So has everyone turned off their notifications by now?
SUGGS IS A TRUE RAVEN! A TEAM PLAYER! THANKS T-SIZZLE!
sadly i dont see ngata taking notes, i think his money-vision will prevail
TEAM T-SIZZLE
Peyton is almost 40 years old Sami of course he took a pay cut
That being said, with a top 10 pick. No need to go based off of necessity doing what Ozzie loves best is BPA, at this point an OL could be BPA or an OLB/DE. But DB has a deep class with sleepers.
i disagree. With Breshad coming back we'll get to see his playmaking ability, I still think Steve Smith is coming back and he has a motor. Not to mention there are good #2 or #3 wideouts hitting free agency, Mohammed Sanu, Hayward-Bey, Malcolm Floyd, to name a few. Drafting a WR wouldn't be a concern until the 4th round honestly.
Honestly, wake up. Waiting until the 4th rd for weapons is one of the big factors in why we only have 5 wins this season. Perriman is yet an unknown, SSS is most likely not coming back and the last thing we need is yet another vet in the twilight of his career. It is beyond time to give the offense some love - this isn't your father's NFL.
"I also think at WR we're solid." Please don't let our front office fall into that trap again.Smitty at 36 coming off an achilles injury,Aiken and everyone behind those two don't make us solid at WR.
the toughest part about picking defensive backs is the fact that it takes them a while to develop in the NFL. Pro ready DB's are tough to come by. Peters and Darby were the lucky 2 last year.
Think we resign Torrey and let Forsett walk.
I think Daniels, Forsett, and Torrey all walk, and we get an FA WR and Draft WR and FA TE and draft RB
Think we do it the other way around, only because Forsett will probably come at a more reasonable price tag. Totally possible they both walk.
Torrey isn't the type of player that wants money over a winning team. I think he truly loves Baltimore especially since he was drafted here, went to Maryland, grew up in VA, and his son was born there. He's like T Sizzle in my opinion. He cares about winning and sentimental value to his team. Just my opinion.
Tomorrow we will see who the Ravens will meet with DB wise. Who do you want them to meet with? Keep in mind. Out of all the meetings they have, they tend to only draft about 2 of them in high rounds. I think DB is definitely an area they will draft high this year. Keep an eye out on who they visit with.
Trade back or pick at 26?
Green-Beckham will be taken by somebody in the 1st, he's too much of a freak to pass up.
he's definitely a freak but so was tyrann mathieu and ray ray armstrong. I think either Marcus Peters or Green-Beckham will go in the 2nd. other will go in the 1st, but the whole background off field issues are a problem for every team. Even if their interview process goes well. Green-Beckham was also involved with domestic violence and thats a very sensitive subject in the league right now. So we'll see, I could be completely wrong haha the draft is crazy man
I think if Strong is there TAKE HIM
Trade back to get Perriman? Thoughts?
@BmoreBird22 I agree he's pretty inconsistent with his hands but so was Torrey and he developed. When it comes to types of WR's we already have an Algholor and Smith in Torrey. If we don't sign him back then I can see us getting one of them two, but if we sign back Torrey we would probably look for a big bodied tough to take down bulldozer as a receiver and I think Perriman fits that mold.
I don't think Torrey Smith is back to be honest, but I personally don't like Perriman too much just because of the hands. It's something very worrisome coming out of college because it's a lot tougher to make contested catches in the NFL. He's a really physical specimen and could turn out to be a really great receiver, but those hands scare me.
I wouldn't mind if we picked him there. Though I don't think F.O would trade back for Perriman, I think F.O would trade back for someone who's falling like Shane Ray or maybe Nate Orchard.
Vernon Hargreaves III, Mike Williams (Clemson), Karl Joseph
i mean they will probably go later but their talent could definitely be picked early.
then hopefully Dadi Nicolas is available in round 4
or a sleeper for Guard if Kelechi leaves
WalterFootball.com Mock Draft is probably my favorite right now to be honest. But they shifted away from Ozzie loving his precious Defense. They went offense in the first 3 rounds.
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
