Expect little movement in Free agency. This team's in cap hell. The drafts the only thing to look forward to but the lack of talent in this one is a bummer.

I think that the Ravens have made much forward progress on this item.

instant coffee? We need a double espresso!

Jack would be double espresso, similar in the side to side abilities of Ray Lewis, and a super high motor player.  One thing that he has that last year Ravens lacked, that's the ability to intercept passes and drop back effectively in coverage.

I wanted the Ravens to get some Buckeyes and Bosa is one too many to name but we need a CB and Apple CB for the Buckeyes if available should be a good pick! GET SOME BUCKEYES! Lol

Bosa would stop the run and chase QBs around the backfield all day long.

There's no chance Stanley falls outside the top 10, and could easily be our pick at six or possibly even go in the top 5. He's the second best LT in this draft easily and those guys go top 10 annually.

I really would love to see us take Bosa or Jack if possible.  Stanley would be a letdown for me.

Yes, still waiting to hear the true story on the Suggs incident, but unless it is a hit and run felony type charge, I don't see us crushing ourselves by moving on from him over not paying tickets. 

The bigger concern around Suggs is his ability to recover from such a serious injury (particularly at his age) and whether or not he's going to be able to get himself into football shape with this significant down time. That's something he's periodically struggled with, even when healthy. 

I could see him as a candidate for contract restructuring.

Stanley overall was not as impressive as the hype on him. Not saying he won't be a good player but maybe not a #6 grade and most likely a mid-late day 1 or day 2 pick.

I don't see him as worth a number 6 either.  Hopefully, he falls to top of the second round.  We really need a speedy receiver who can get up there and take the ball away from defenders.

Cup of Jo-ey Bosa would cure the instant coffee fix the Ravens so desperately need.

Both Bosa or Jack would start from day one.

That soundls like they consider a trade back out of question - which it obviously isn't. Let's hope Ozzie won't trade back, but if the Browns take Wentz or Goff, there's probably gonna be definite demand for our spot ahead of the 49ers, to snatch the other one... and Ozzie will always have ears for a great trade offer...

Most of the teams already have a good QB under contract.  To get ahead of the 49ers, then the next team in line would be at number 15.  This would put us out of the running for a player that would be able to start from day one, but might get us an extra second round draft pick.

Keep KO and draft a replacement for Upshaw.

No major thing in the wide spectra of wrong-doing, it is repairable, now just focusing on the 2016 season, and hoping Terrell's rehab is coming along well ??

Is there any word on how close he is to being ready for training camp?

Ramsey, Bosa, Buckner, or Jack would be nice.

I can see KO testing the market just to see. I doubt anyone will give him full left tackle money after only a couple games, but they will pay him top guard money where he has proven he is a pro bowl player. But, as is said over and over, it only takes one team with a great need and a lot of cap space to throw the moon at KO and he would be silly to turn it down. Yes, he was drafted here, won a super bowl here, loves being here, and may think the money is fair here, but a competitive team might offer him some good money. But, in my eyes, it would depend where the money was coming from. If the Browns or Jags offered me anything I would take the Ravens offer no matter.

He's a good blocking guard but he's no Yanda.

According to AL.com and now ESPN, were going to sign him. Me personally think this is a camp body move just to kick the tires on him, if I'm not mistaking he didn't play last season. Whats your guys take on this?

Camp body and practice squad bench warmer insurance policy at best.

Bosa IMO will not be a stud player!

I would definitely take Bosa at number 6, but not if Ramsey or Buckner are still there.

I think we still have a shot at Bosa. If he's off the board at #6 I see us taking Hargreaves. Longshot but another possibility, Treadwell.

I would take Ramsey, Bosa, Jack, or Buckner regardless of how they did in the drills at the scouting combine.  The Ravens have made their name on defense and we need to regain our swagger.  Let's just hope that we don't trade down and there is a run on quarterbacks.  As for offense, I think that we could pick up a decent wideout in the top of the second round.

The biggest problem running the ball is because of the o line, however they started playing better toward the end of the season which if KO stays is why I don't think they should get Ronnie Stanley with the first pick.

I'd much rather that they go defense. Bosa or Buckner.

I'd love to have a big back out of the middle rounds of the draft just for insurance.

I would love to see the Ravens draft a pass rush/run stopping defensive player in the first and a wide receiver in the second round.  Unless we trade down, I don't see us wasting the sixth pick on a corner back.  The tight end position needs to be addressed in free agency, too.  Flacco might just make the difference between picking up just any player and a few quality players to fill the needs.  Offensive linemen are a crap shoot in the draft and free agency.  We will pay too much and get little in return if we try to sign another Monroe.
