Well for all its worth, I wouldn't mind signing Peko. Especially if you lose B.Williams or Guy

Just stay at 15 or 16 and take the best player avaliable. A stud should fall to 15. I'm more interested in moving our second and the comp 3rd to move back into the first round. The dropoff from 30-45 is much greater than the dropoff from 11-16. That way we have 2 potential immediate starters and if they pan out we don't lose them in 4 years. We have a team friendly option that may have kept the likes of KO or B.Williams or Wagner.

I really appreciate what the Seahawks have accomplished by doing things their way. I seriously think they should start protecting their QB or he won't be moble for long. It's like theyr trying to get him killed with that line lol

Thank you SSS for 3 great years. It's a shame we couldn't send you out with a ring.

I disagree with Williams being over rated. I think he stays if we offer an average salary of 8 mil or so. He won't make more than 10 anywhere he goes. the Wagner part is just hillarious! I'd be dissapointed if the Ravens keep him for that price. Maybe around 5-6mil a year. Otherwise just let him walk.

It hurts that Fazier is gone but if that's the price we gotta pay to get rid of Castillo then I'm all in!

Thank you Yanda for being a model of consistancy. So glad your a Raven and hope you remain a Raven for years to come.

Don't you guys know harbs by now? This is just a smoke screen. Theyr gonna keep giving the impression that we need a RB but won't even come close to drafting one in the first 3 rounds. FO did the same thing last year with ILB. We heard all off season that we need a middle linebacker and let go of D.Smith early to give the impression that we were looking at MLB with our first round then passed on every single one of them. I think this is the show theyr pulling this year. Give everyone the impression that were drafting RB but that's really not the priority.

Nooooo freakin waaaaaay! I wouldn't pick cousins in a backyard pickup game! He sucks every time he needs to step up! And whenever he does anything remotely good he yells some stupid stuff out like "you like that?!" Or "Pay Me!"

I rarely agree with 100% of any of your replies but this time your absolutely right. Last offseason you and I went back and forth over how much flexibility our FO has to attack FA. I believe I was right. They were able to free a lot of cap space to make moves. This year is a different story. We don't have the flexibility we had last year so let's all pump the brakes a bit: this could be a much more conservative summer. Webb and Ngata were great contract at the time of signing and it's not fair for us to jump all over them when their back loaded contracts balloon. They're backloaded for a reason and that's to give the Ravens the flexibility to redo it or get rid of it. The players are not at fault here and the FO did a good enough job with keeping these guys at the time. The pitta contract particularly is stunning to me. I can't believe people are calling for him to get cut after he took a 4 mil dollar pay cut last year and balled! Suggs being bashed is also something I despise, I can't believe people are on his strap when he's clearly outperforming his contract. And even if he wasn't, how can you even let go of someone that's been so loyal to you? Good luck attracting FAs in the future if you can't do Suggs right. The way I look at it.... Even if Suggs plays 0 downs for the next 2 years wev gotten our money's worth and some so he can retire under his terms. Everything else is just a bonus

I'm just as pissed off as anyone over the secondary issue wev had for 3 years in a row. Except I can't blame our FO for passing on VH3 at 6th overall because that would have been a reach and I was hoping we'd trade up in the second but the steelers, Bengals, and raiders took the 3 Dbs that were worth taking at that point. I do hope we learned from last year and not sit at 48 expecting an instant starting CB to fall to us. I think it's time Ozzie goes bold! Take the BPA with 16 then move back into the first and take whoever you think would start right away. CB and pass rush then address the remaining needs in the remaining rounds and address the WR position in FA as this could be one of the deepest classes. Littered with WRs that will

I absolutely get where your coming from and can't fault you for wishing that. Heck who wouldn't like a high flying offense that attacks opposing defenses weakness. I hate to use this example but the pats have been a model of that. If their opponent has good CB they throw to the TEs all day, if the opponent is has good linebackers they'll pass outside or screens, if the opponent has an elite secondary theyl run all over you. Unfortunately, that model is almost impossible to replicate. the thing with a high flying offense is that you need an elite QB, RB, LT, and WR. That's half your cap space right there and if any of the 4 gets hurt then your offense becomes one dimensional and crippled so it's a risky proposition to say the least. Elite defensive players are a bit cheaper cap wise and more consistent. Usually an elite D can take a few injuries and still be top 10. Don't look at our D because we had no depths what so ever at CB but in general that's why Defense is more reliable. just look at the past SB winners, they all have too 10 defenses and the high flying offenses that force their D to compensate (cap wise) usually win a lot of regular season games then fail in the playoffs because they face good offenses and elite defenses.

When did I say every game? I said look at the big picture and we obviously favored the pass vs the run. Even when the pass was struggling or the line was getting beat. We threw the ball 1 time less than Drew Breeze and were amongst the worst in yards per attempt. That Dallas game was a very debateable game and we can argue that all night but in geneal we didn't even give the running game a chance to succeed and I truily believe that's setting up the pass to fail and thus Flacco had one of his toughest seasons efficiency wise.

True and not true. One can argue that it's not like the running game was averaging 5 yards a carry and we just abandoned it. And that's so true because we were 23rd in YPC after all. But I think it's fair to say that we under utilized the run being 28th in attempts. when you compare those stats to our passing game, we were bottom 5 in yards per attempt and top 5 in passes attempted. Now that's what one could call a lack of desire to run the ball. when you step back and look at the big picture, it's definitely a lack of commitment to the run. There were so many times where we could have run and should have run but decided to pass pass pass. There were several times where we just abandoned the run when we had 1 or 2 bad runs. An on the other hand we'd have consecutive 3 and outs and continue to force passes when that same line that can't run block can't pass block and we end up with holding calls and interceptions.

Great point. It's not jimmys salary that's killing us it's when he's out and the dropoff in talent is significant.

Some people are never gonna get sarcasm at its best. You sir, have my thumbs up lol

How good would it be if we add a good corner to line up outside and use Young as a slot CB and play deep in 3 safety sets. He'd still play 75 percent of snaps when Jimmy is healthy. And oh lord how much of a luxory tgat would be!

I agree. We have to make a decision regarding Zuttahs declining performances. I disagree with spending a 2nd. Rookie centers are rarely ready to start come day 1. I'd rather trade or release zuttah and spend that 5 million on a proven vet. I also think we need to add more than 1 good lineman this offseason. Our problem is not our best 3 guys. The problem is that whenever injuries hit, our 6th 7th and 8th best linemen are just so bad that the dropoff in talent becomes contagious.

S.Gilmore and the best pass rusher at 16 would instantly make this D top 5. Go best lineman and WR avaliable in the next few rounds and address it in FA for assurance. That would put this Offense in the top 15 at least. Sounds simple but then we could lose B.Williams, Webb, Doom, Wagner and Zuttah. I don't see anyone in the current roster better than any of them at their positions and it gets complicated lol

It's definitely fair to question the coaching and why we just go prevent whenever the last few minutes come. I don't think it's even remotely fair to say "it is the D that cost us the playoffs" this D kept us in 6 games that our O couldn't seal and more than half our wins were pritty bad offensive displays. Yes this D had a few bad games and that's surely a concern but it's soooooo out of bounds to say this D cost us the playoffs.

I absolutely agree. Just because Flacco makes 20 mil, doesn't mean that you force him into becoming A.Rodgers. Just play to his strength and win games. We don't care about meaningless stats but we do care about Ws! I also agree with pass rush. Suggs can handle one side for the most part but we need someone like Doom a few years back who just a rushes the passer all game every game. I don't think it's realistic to expect much more out of Doom. Thank you for a few great years and thank you for playing hurt this year. I think he's a prime candidate to being cut. webb on the other hand has 1 year left on his deal worth 7.5mil mostly not guaranteed. I think he's a prime candidate for an extension at around 5 mil per year. Elam, Lewis, Arrington, should have been cut yesterday! when it comes to CBs. Yes we need to draft someone early! Tavon was a pleasant surprise and Jimmy is great when healthy. We need a third quality CB because we play with 3 66% of the time and because he's probably gonna get starting time when Jimmy goes down.

I feel ya brother. I feel ya

You make a lot of valid points. Except Von millers don't fall to the end of the first round. We need to trade up if someone falls past 10th overall. And we sure as heck can't afford a top teir pass rusher in FA. shutdown corner would be nice, looking back at last year's draft. 3 very good Cbs were drafted 20-30. to the replacing B.williams. I hope Ozzie agrees. There are some great Dlinemen about to become FAs. If we can't keep Brandon then we need to pickup someone.

Agree 100% as much as it hurts...
