Good foundation on defense for next year.

ILB - Orr, Mosley, Peanut, KC - all good there
OLB - Suggs, Judon - need some serious help here
DL/DE - Bwill (if he resigns), Jernigan, Pierce, Guy, Kaufusi, Urban, Davis, Henry - need young guys to step up
CB - Smith, Young, Wright, Canady - need to add a young stud. 2017 draft is loaded with top CB talent. Adding Humphrey, King or Tabor would be Ideal.
S - Weddle, Webb - need to add another young prospect to learn from Weddle.

In my opinion, I put the CB issue to rest in this draft. In the 1st round, I take Humphrey/King/Tabor and in the 2nd Round, I take Jourdan Lewis/Tankersley/Sutton. That's 2 potential top corners to pair with Jimmy Smith & Tavon Young and that position will be locked down for 3-4 years.

Agree but Ozzie and DeCosta will get cute with it. They will probably trade down and stock up on project CBs that will never materialize.

While I generally agree with you...to be fair to them, they did get Tavon Young in the 4th round just last year, so it's not like you can't get starting CBs later. Richard Sherman is a pretty good example too.

"Dropped" deep pass? The dude did a full extension and almost hauled it in. Wasn't exactly a 'drop'. That would've been a SPECTACULAR catch.

Losing 3 straight in football is nothing like losing 30 straight in baseball. I get the analogy (a football season is roughly 10% of the games of a baseball season), but if you win like 60% of your games in baseball you are one of the best teams in the league.

Other than SSS, Suggs is only warrior we have on either side of ball it seems. But age has tapped them both on the shoulder. Depth is none existent on the O-line. Even several 1st teamers are just average. Who is in charge of personnel...oh yeah, the Great Oz! Time to re-evaluate top-to-bottom!

Found the guy that doesn't know who Marshal Yanda is!!!

Absolutely great stuff. Ravens do such wonderful work in the community, and this Bookmobile sounds like a fantastic endeavor.

More disappointed in the play of Zuttah & Yanda. O-lineman typically fall off a cliff in their 10-12th year - hopefully not the start of that with Yanda. Will chalk this one up to facing a Rex Ryan defense but worth keeping an eye on.

Eh, there wasn't much wrong with Yanda's play other than his two penalties - and he was pissed at himself for those. He had some excellent (per usual) run blocks on the right side. A pissed off and focused Marshal Yanda is going to be a monster next week.

Zuttah however...yeesh, he was a mess yesterday. I'd love to see Urschel back.

i can see why OCHI and BUTLER signed with other teams,so they can actually play.it's terrible because both will be stars in this league,just on other teams,i'm still very mad about BROOKS as well.

You do realize they are on other teams' practice squads, right? If the Ravens think they can help us, they can sign them (or anyone else) off of any practice squad in the league. That person then has to be on the 53-man active roster though, not the practice squad.

Happy Ravens are hanging on to Reynolds, Brown, and Onwassor, but really disappointed that Ochi went elsewhere. Remember James Harrison?

yeah and HARRISON made us pay dearly for not keeping him,every single game,OCHI will be a star in this league,this sucks.

Harrison didn't do anything until he started taking steroids. No one ever mentions that he was cut by Pittsburgh too (twice). Look it up. He was with the Ravens briefly, went to NFL Europe...likely found some HGH and whatever steroids...and then was a completely different player when he returned for another shot in Pittsburgh.

Hopefully Jernigan replicates Sapp's play on the field...But doesn't replicate the false-snitching, or the soliciting prostitutes, or the bankruptcy...

Where's Victor Ochi? There are only 21 names up there, not 22.

Appears to be added now.

Based on the the videos chosen for Correa, Kaufusi and Moore. Kaufusi should have been drafted in the 2nd, Moore in the 3rd and Correa in the 4th.

Good thing drafts aren't based off YouTube highlight videos.

Read the Mile Preston article about this years draft. Sadly it's hard to argue with his premise and his conclusion..

Mike Preston is a joke. The GM, Assistant GM, scouts, coaches, etc. all know way more about football than Mike Preston ever will.

Am I the only one to think Ozzie will pull the trigger on Jaylon Smith if he's available in the 5-6th rounds? Probably having to stash the guy on the IR for his rookie season may very well be worth for such a talent...

5-6th rounds?! He'll be gone late 1st or early 2nd - even without probably playing his rookie year. No chance he sees the 5th or 6th rounds.

By the way, to add to my post - IF Jaylon Smith is there in rounds 5 or 6, I would ABSOLUTELY take him. I think quite a few teams would. And I think they will before we get a chance to.

I would have drafted Stefon Diggs instead of Tray Walker. How can the team justify not taking him? We had lost Jacoby Jones, so we needed someone with KR/PR abilities as a receiver. We had already gone for Kyle Arrington and Kendrick Lewis, so you had to think the team liked the position they were in with the secondary. But nope...we got Tray Walker, who can't play above Shareece Wright. But Stefon Diggs is tearing it up now.
