    Plus a Birk-caliber C, a KO-type LG and a Ray Lewis-Ed Reed-Birk-Boldin type locker room leadership ;)

    KO was not the same KO that we know today, he was above average at best because he was hurt all the time, so Urschel is comparable. Jensen is an average center but it should work out. Worse comes to worst, put Jensen at G and Urschel at C.

    The leadership will never be at that level, but Weddle and Suggs are doing a pretty darn good job in my opinion. The addition of Jefferson will also boost the confidence and swagger of the secondary. CJ is another up-and-coming guy after he takes Correa under his wing. My gut feeling also tells me that Dumervil returns. Flacco, Yanda and a grown-up Wallace will take on the leadership roles on the offensive side of the ball.

    I know that we have a lot of slightly above average RBs but if the Ravens draft a gamebreaking RB like a Dalvin Cook, Ravens will be really good. Build from the inside out, plus we already have the pieces to have a great run game (stout linemen, great defense, WR that stretch the field, Greg Roman). If the first round pick is used on a WR, that makes us more unidimensional.

    I see a lot of resemblance between the SB offense we had. We are only missing a Ray Rice-type RB and Anquan-type receiver on the team

    I had a 34" vertical in high school.

    Honestly, i dont see the big deal about it though.  I know it shows explosion, but i dont think it matters at all. 

    yea, I had a higher vertical than him too but people are comparing him to the Adrian Peterson's and guys who are inhuman. Now we know!

    If you watch his college tape, he runs good routes. With most speed WRs, they use their speed to separate from DBs in college and that's usually enough. He has to learn the deception and nuances of the position at the NFL level. Antonio Brown had the same problem and it wasn't until his 4th year that he became an elite WR

    The problem with his route running is because he is so fast CBs can easily detect if he's running long or not. When he does run a long route, the safety will automatically help making it a contested catch. He needs to copy Julio and be able to run multiple releases for just one route (which will take time to learn). All the battles are won at the line of scrimmage. If he can lose a CB early in the route, there's no way a safety will catch him.

    Trust me... the thought crossed my mind - but dont.

    Let's not trivialize the passing of a great man many cared about into something as small and meaningless in comparison as a trophy.

    His death means more than just the positive karma, joo joo, it might bring. And dont jinx it and bring the wrath down upon us for thinking that way.

    I was just saying that when our team plays with a heavy heart we play some of our best football. It's just how this Ravens team is built.
