The patriots or cheaters have had a very big advantage over the afc for 2 decades because they play in the weakest division in the afc, so they are almost guaranteed 11 wins regardless of Brady, Matt Cassell or even Jimmy G probably.
You can argue the south but those teams are competative and turning a corner, you have 2 possibly 3 franchise qbs with Andy Luck, Marriota and if a Qb whisperer could fix Bortles. Houston always brings defense.
Ravens are the 1 team thats always been able to go into NE and beat them or put up a legit fight.
Gotta rebuild the defense, more pass rushers,CBs, Lbr/S
Beef up Oline and find a couple weapons
You know what early I forgot to mention Corey Davis out of Western Mich as another no.1 Mike Evans, Julio type wr. So besides Mike Williams there really is 2 bonefied no.1s
If they fell to 16 to grab, or Cook.
But preferably.. I want Pass rusher since Dumervil may be cut and is older, and or CB/S
Preferably Barnett,Williams,Solomon Thomas,Harris etc, Tabor, Jones cbs, Hooker, Peppers S
Hes better then McCourty all day so its only fitting. Next year aim for the SB.
Beef up the Oline,
Get pass rushers, and CBs, replace Orr through draft, and Williams too
Other then Williams theres a bunch of high caliber Wrs but Mike Williams is probably the only Julio,Mike Evans etc
Juju Smith Schuster 6'3 215 wr USC Projected early 2nd Kind of in that Brandon Marshall,Jeffrey Mold
Then you have very Polished route runners smaller quiker elusive guys like Dede Westbrook, Amarah Darboh both projected late 2nd to 3rd round
Maybe 1 or both of them turn into OBJ or antonio brown
Mike Williams is the clear cut no.1 wr in the draft he may not get to 16, but if he did Ravens should take him
Sidney Jones or Tabor if they are taking 1 in the 1st rnd
But Id prefer a pass rusher Barnett,Harris, etc
If Cook falls to 16 grab him otherwise
Rebuild the defense,
Pass Rusher,S, now lbr after Orr retirement, CB
Then of course beef up Oline
Rnd 1- Pass Rusher Barnett,Harris, etc, lbr Ruben Foster, Cbs Tabor,Sidney Jones Adoree Jackson etc
Rnd 2- Rusher Tj Watt, Mckinley, Fields etc Cbs King, White etc
Rnd 3 2pks Oline Moton OT, D.Johnson OG, Siragusa OL
Weapons- Dede Westbrook, Amarah Darboh, Samaje Perine,
Rnd 4
Wow Orr retired. Thats means theres now a giants hole at lbr beside Mosley.
Ravens are going to have to seriously look at lbrs in the draft like Ruben Foster 1st rnd Bama, Raekwon McMillon Osu 2-3rd round or something. Defense is piling uo so many holes
Ravens need Fear Factor, Ravens need as much as people may dislike him a Vontez Burfict, a Pollard back again... you need guys who have a couple screws loose upstairs. Harbaugh and co. Can tell us bout leadership and Dumervil and thus guy and that guy, but they aint no leaders when there all yes men.
Bring in some Knuckleheads who can put Fear into the opponent..you need some loose cannons
I may turn in my Ravens gear..,if they dont get off this Choir boy bs
This Im completely in board with Steve B. I have for a long time thought to myself why doesnt the NFL adopt a Nascar or Soccer style commercials, whereas you put a split screen on tv every now and again when its a commercial break and in the larger box you have in game action(Nascar,Soccer) and in a smaller corner box you run bud light, Chevy, etc commercials.
Now I know Nascar and Soccer are non stop sports compared to nfl, where you have quarter changes, 2minutes warnings and timeouts, but I saw a article that said its at the point fans are only getting 15 minutes of real action and the rest is flooding with commercial. So there is a major problem Steve B nailed it
Shocking, yet a great move. Castillo out how can this go wrong? Roman in, he succeeded in Sf,Buff, and most places in developing a smashmouth run game
Steve said it.. so if they chuck it 45x every week next year, we know something will change
Bye bye Dumervil,Arrington,Lewis, Webby, Pitta or Watson
I completely agree with Eisenberg on this Defense must have improvements.
No.1 priority is Bonefied GameWrecker Pass Rush.
Last year they passed on studs like Noah Spence and Yannik Ngakwe for bums and high character Harbaugh guys like Correa and Koufusi.
Look how that turned out, 1 cant get on the field and other broke his foot.
Everyone knows a great rush helps a secondary. Combined sizzle,jernigan,Dum had 15 sacks this year. Mostly from sizzle 8 sacks.
So 1st round must be a Gamewrecker sizzle in his prime or Von Miller type edge rusher, whether its Barnett,Williams,Harris,McKinley etc
And I might take 2 in the 1st 2 rounds because lets be honest Dumervil is getting cut and sizzle has 1 maybe 2 years left probably
After the Ravens clear bout 25 million from cutting Dumervil,Webby,K.Lewis,Arrington etc
Go into free agency make a splash move or 2,

Nobody believes in this organization right now. Slowly eroding fan trust
John Harbaugh error number 1, Know your players and know what works.
1, The Ravens organization Identity didnt change from Smashmouth Running&Defense to Wide open chuck&Duck offense just because Flacco makes 20million a year.
2. Yes, Brady is a legendary qb and gets loads of credit. But every sb run Brady has had a top 10 Defense, (whether Revis&Browner, Bruski,Vrabel,Lawetc) and hes had a running game Corey Dillion, this year he has Blount going for 1200 yrds and 18tds.
So Brady isnt this 1 man band. Their runs have been built on running&defense more then Brady believe it or not.
So with that said, most important thing is remember Joe is a playaction deep bomb qb. You have Perriman&Wallace if you keep him both were underutilized all year, because the run game was not committed too.
Run the dang ball, and use playaction..
Bolster the defense. Pass rush is must.
CB Must, and Safety must after Webby gets cut
Nobody really believes things will change. Based on track record, Marty had 11 games to get committed to running the ball and Flacco 2nd in nfl in pass attempts.
So tell me why? Why now its going to change? All of a sudden Marty will run West/Dixon 30x a game? Na.
Expect 8-8 again, and New HC
I have no reason to believe anything will change. Martys track record proves hes hes a chuck it 40x a game OC, that wont change and next year Ravens will be 8-8 and Ravens will have a new head coach as Harbaugh is going down with his sinking ship
Its going to be a busy offseason. Ravens should have upwards of 20million in cap room to sign free agents and our own. Dumervil,Webby,Arrington,Lewis all will be gone. Watson or Pitta 5 million vs 3million savings, maybe Zuttah if they can get a better option. Wallace is 8mill if they think hes too expensive he might get cut.
Thats like 24-25mil in cap with 4mil they currently have.
They need to sign a couple gamechangers..
Heres a couple
Chandler Jones DE/Olbr
Stephon Gilmore CB
Eric Berry FS (though kc likely wont let him get away)
Jamie Collins Olbr
Logan Ryan CB
Nolan Carroll CB
Wrs
Terrell Pryor
Alshon Jeffrey
Vincent Jackson
Michael Floyd
Robert Woods
Im already checked out out. I expect a New Head Coach Next Year after another 8-8 year next yr.
This just proves they arent committed to Ravens Identity. Smashmouth Running and Defense
Going into next season Im assuming Wallace&Perriman are your Wr 1&2.
So the obvious answer is via draft 1st 3 rnds take a wr, Corey Davis,Mike Williams, Dede Westbrook, Amarah Darboh, Juju Smith Schuster, etc
Or via F/A Marshall, Jeffrey,Boldin etc
Man just got done watching Corey Davis of Western Michigan, Stud. How awesome would it be to land either him or Clemson Mike Williams at 16,
But I know they need Pass Rush too.. this draft it going to be critical.
