Ok I'm looking ahead already haha but oh my goodness, I'm dying for the Ravens to get Desmond King no matter what. Please tell me thats why we were rebuilding in this draft.Â
I was hoping he would come out next year, but he will likely be a top 20ish pick so hopefully he will be in the cards next year. He is physical and has great ball skills, plus ideal size. Would love him here.
Make my words, Ramsey or Tunsil will be a Raven!
What happens when those 'exciting defensive prospects' have to face us and they get completely washed out by Tunsil leading the way on our offensive line, whether it be at LG initially or LT. I get pretty freaking pumped too when I see our O-Line pancake and ragdoll defenders while our back are running up field for huge gains, or pass rushers are gased and Flacco has time to put the ball on the money to get 6 because he has time. My favorite play might have been in last year's playoff game vs the Steelers where KO de-cleated Harrison and he threaded the needle to Torrey. It is all a matter of perspective. I miss having a premier LT that rarely gets beat and doesn't give up false starts as presents lolÂ

@juanman7, Okay, I understand a lack of excitement because a defensive superstar or Elliot would be more appealing, but look at one major thing here, Joe Flacco's health and that being the key to our success the next 5 years. We all know what happened with James Hurst and Flacco's knee. Monroe should stay and Wagner will probably stay at RT, but Tunsil would go to LG until Monroe crumbles or we realize Tunsil would be a better option at LT and we insert Urschel at LG. Think of this, if we get a Bosa or jack, they will help our defemse big time and I want a dominant D too, but if Monroe goes down again and we have no solid option to protect Flacco's blind side, another critical injury could not only ruin our offensive output and QB play, but we would be on the hook for a long time with the amount of guaranteed money going to Flacco. His health should be our #1 priority. You cannot buy a sports car and have an insurance policy that only covers an electric scooter lmao. Plus a great line means a balanced offense and more points. If we took Tunsil I could see Ozzie going very defensive heavy the rest of the draft too.Â
Hmm just thinking about this, which group post-draft sounds the most intimidating?:
 Defensive line with Williams, Jernigan, Guy, Urban, and Buckner
 Linebacker unit with Suggs, Dumervil, Z. Smith, Mosley, and Bosa or Myles Jack,Â
Secondary with Jimmy Smith, Hargreaves, Wright, Arrington, Webb, and Weddle.
No! Not Will Hill! Webby and Weddle it is I guess. Ball skills and coverage is more needed than hard hits and run support.
Interesting debate I had today, Is Steve Smith more of a lock to make it into Canton over the other two major WRs of his era, whom are Reggie Wayne and Andre Johnson? . I think so, and hope this year SSS goes out in a blaze of glory as he was before his injury. Undeniably a rare talent that will be hard to find again.
I agree there, too much animosity towards his character while off the field, instead of his crazy production on it. His numbers should speak for themselves, but I sorta see the case how selfish play and arrogance at time hurt his team just as much as his production on the field helped it. Harrison was just so consist with Manning and helped provide the foundation for the Colts to become very successful without the headaches.
Â
I think Weddle is the shot caller in the back we need, he fits in Reeds shoes and finishes a Raven !!!!
He is what this team needed. Since Reed left we have given up so many big plays down field and it had a lot to do with a lack of communication and players being out of place. You're exactly right, he will make the calls and make sure we're lined up right in the secondary. He might not be the biggest turnover machine, but he does make big plays, is a terrific tackler, which is another area that has killed us, and able to read the QB and understand where he wants to put the ball.Â
Well Dean, for all the "players aren't executing" stuff you pulled,this time it's on you. We have Jimmy, Webb, Hill, and now Weddle in our secondary. Williams, Mosley, Jernigan, Suggs & Doom up front. Ozzie just gave you one last chance. Either your system sucks and you go or you prove the defense has lacked the talent.
Would anyone else love to see the Ravens introduce a new alternative jersey to go along with the all black? I am always super envious of the Oregon Duck's jerseys and wish we would get some snazzier jerseys.
How in the hell did that horrible Carolina team fro last season become world beaters this season?They got blown out six different times,lost six straight games and only made the playoffs because of a weak division.What changed?
They have a talented roster and the ultimate team chemistry right now. I am by no means a Carolina fan, but as a football fan, you have to give them props. Everyone says they had an easy schedule but guess what, they're 17-1, the beat GB, Houston, Indy, and beat two of the best teams in the league, which last time I checked Arizona went 13-3 and they just got embarrassed.
As a football fan, I just want to see the Patriots lose, whether it is to Peyton, or to a possible SB rematch to the Panthers. Brady's whining losing face is priceless lmao
I hope the NFC wins lol, wouldn't mind seeing either Carolina avenging their previous SB loss over a decade ago or Arians and Fitz winning one. I can't stand anything about the patriots. Yes, they are winners, but the way they do it and their shady past, along with their beyond arrogant fans, I just love watching when they lose.
My most hopeful second round pick would be leonard Floyd slipping to us in the second! That guy is explosives!
