The thing is, you all are just assuming that Joe and the Ravens WILL get the deal done and you're assuming that if a deal isn't done, the Ravens WANT to stomach those cap hits. Assumptions can be very dangerous.

And anyway, let's not sit here and act like drafting a quarterback high and letting them sit is unheard of. The Vikings wanted to do it with Ponder, the Jaguars wanted to do it with Bortles, Rivers, Rodgers, etc.

He also had Cameron and was a rookie taking over that team, much like Flacco.

All I'm saying is taking the best quarterback prospect since Luck isn't a bad idea if they can't work anything out.

And I am on record for saying my wish list players are Bosa, Hargreaves, Doctson, Treadwell, and Boyd

With Brees, he wasn't playing well, but then he managed to go to a Pro Bowl and won CPOY. He was then franchised and the year after, he was offered a five year deal, even with his shoulder.

There is nothing wrong with planning for the future if Flacco doesn't get something done with his deal

How would it be a wasted pick? Say the FO didn't get a new deal done with Flacco.

With how high they're picking, they'd have a plan in place. And let's not forget quarterbacks like Rodgers, Rivers, and Tyrod, who are all doing well, got to sit and learn for at least two years before starting.

Which should speak volumes about the inconsistent execution of the players than to Pees. When Doom, Jernigan, and Davis aren't generating a good pass rush against that line, there's trouble.

Those health issues were overblown because they were unrelated injuries and one was a fluke (a lacerated spleen...?) I think more teams had issues with his size and ability to play more than the slot. Still, that'd be nice to have in Baltimore right now...

Right, went in the fifth. Just thought he should have gone fourth

He was a player I wanted really badly and I was really upset when he went in the fourth.

He can't set the edge to save his life, but he has excellent hand usage to keep blockers hands off his chest.

People act like the Ravens didn't just start two games on the west coast. The goal is to split on the road, go undefeated at home. That goal becomes tougher now, but I'd be more worried if they didn't win their first game at home.

I like how these facts, which are only become official in January and February, are being made in September.

He was traded to the Colts for a sixth round pick

He got cut?

I think everyone did, but those knees

Bowers would almost assuredly be a 3-4 DE. I can't say I watched enough of the Bucs to know why he failed, though.

The Cowboys are a team that even offers him a very good shot at starting and Lovie runs a good bit of zone with Verner there. I'd imagine the Cowboys would be a high team on his list because they'll be competing for a title

Yes, and not too long after I figured out the last digit of Pi. I'm having it published and sent to Ozzie, John, and Steve right now.

Definitely not the best scheme fit, but at this point, you're talking about a very competent corner who got flat out cut. You don't even need to trade for him.

Yeah, last year wasn't kind, but he isn't that far removed from two back to back pro bowls and a 13 interception span from 2012-2013

I wouldn't even go more than one year for like $2-$3M, honestly.

Damn, I was carrying the 0.1, not the 1. There's my issue. It all makes sense now.

Really? I was looking at this from a quantum physics perspective. Is that where I went wrong?
