  1. Chris Godwin was the answer. We passed on him twice in the 3rd, and he was taken by the Bucs 6 picks after we took Tim Williams. https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/articles/reception-perception-chris-godwin-underrated-wide-receiver-2017-nfl-draft/ I like the draft outside of the 3rd round, I think Humphrey is a ready to play class act, Tyus Bowser looks like a beast, even the O-lineman and safety picks. But to pass on a player as promising as Godwin twice, at a position of need, and take Tim Williams with all his off the field / character concerns...it feels like a risk we didn't need to take. Maybe he's a steal, who knows, but IMO one of those 3rd rd picks should have been Godwin.
  2. If anyone is wondering why they're shutting the boards down it's because of vitriol like this.
  3. Our offense has underachieved for a long time. In the past several seasons, overall, we've had a solid defense which keeps us in games but our offense can't get anything going, can't control possession, and turns the ball over too quickly for the defense to have time to get a breather. Late game heroics after an entire game of wasted opportunities shouldn't somehow point the finger at the defense and absolve the offense for the first 50 minutes of play.
  4. This. Just because John Harbaugh said it, and Ryan Mink writes an article doesn't mean it's true. Mosley could leave very easily especially with bloated contracts coming up soon and another Joe Flacco restructure/extension.
  5. IMO Davis is the top WR option. Lesser QB, better routes, better speed, less size on the competition, more production than Williams. The only knock is a lower level of competition but he beat top tier CBs too.
  6. Let's not bring up CJs INTs http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bal-fumbling-interception-into-end-zone-added-insult-to-injury-for-ravens-linebacker-c-j-mosley-20161009-story.html
  7. I'm not the one judging those two, I'm suggesting both Stanley and Perriman are too early to tell having each only played one season. Go back and look at what I responded to. "How can I said Mosley is just good?" Because he's a liability in coverage at times. In 2015 he was specifically targeted by QBs because he couldn't cover over the middle well. He's a good run stopping ILB with below avg coverage skills. He's a good pick. He could be great but he's not there yet. I didn't say he was a bust, I like him a lot and it was a good pick. Don't use the pro bowl like it means something. Zuttah made the pro bowl this year.
  8. I wasn't saying he shouldn't be. I responded to someone who used Perriman as an example of a good pick like he has already proven something. He's still an unknown for us.
  9. Most of it is a crapshoot, I'll give you that, but we have not been drafting well for many years. Mosley and Jimmy were good but not great, they've both had their share of ups and downs. Using Stanley as an example is trendy but shortsighted, he's played 1 year. Pump the brakes. Perriman has proven nothing yet, he can't even consistently crack the starting lineup.
  10. It's not that Flacco is a bum. It's that he isn't worth the money he got. It's not happening this offseason obviously but they should think long and hard about taking a QB high in the draft soon.
  11. Thisssssss He's good enough to be a starter in this league. If you swapped him and Dak Prescott right now he'd have a career year and likely win the superbowl. But his contract prevents him having the tools around him like Dallas has for Dak and he can't function without it. Something has to be done if we want to get back to a superbowl.
  12. That's the only criteria? Or are you just being a troll? Forsett struggled to get playing time. He gave us some good production. There are tons of examples of players who take longer to develop. Just because someone didn't get the opportunity or was buried on a depth chart doesn't mean they can't play. He outperformed most receivers in the league in preseason, we just weren't willing to keep him bc of vets and draft picks we already had at the position.
  13. Based on what? Had we given him a fair chance at all he could have developed. His only flaw was that he was buried behind vets and draft picks as a UDFA, but IMO he had more promise than most young receivers we have had.
