A lot of fans here hitting the panic button. Yes, our season was short lived. Yes, the coaching was atrocious. Unfortunaly with our franchise being so successful in such a short period of time, there are going to be those spoiled fans who call for the head of our coach after a couple shotty seasons. Lets not forget what John Harbaugh has accomplished as a Head Coach.

Joe Flacco - Last May I tore my ACL, MCL, Meniscus, and partially strained my PCL. I must say, I understand why Joe Flacco was uneasy in the pocket for most of the season. There is nothing you can do about the mental hurdle you are going to face when coming back from an injury like this. You have to relearn everything knee related (walking, jumping, running, back peddling, squatting). I have had over 5 surgeries and i'm only 25. With 3 of them being serious. This last surgery one my knee was arguably the worst thing I've ever went through. So for a lot of people the ignorance they show talking about his pocket presence and his interceptions this year. Give the man a break. Who else would you have liked to throw the ball for us this year?!?!?! You honestly would want us to draft a QB?! That's like almost last on our needs -_-

i love it when management breaks the rules and gets caught, ah it's no big deal. We'll get over it and did i hear Harbs mention 'God' in relation to all this...C'on man...if a player had caused these penalties and fines he'd be in very deep doo doo.

I don't agree, players have done worse and still are warranted by the organization. He'll be fine, Harbs is too good of a coach to be in the doghouse. Look at Belichick lol.

Overall, I rank this a very good draft class...I am concerned about ILB though, I thought we'd use one of our picks on that position. I really am not sold on Arthur Brown, and Orr didn't impress me last year either, although he's still pretty raw. Maybe look for a veteran after the June 1st cuts?

Raven have cash they'll sign another Daryl Smith. Easy FA signing.

Maybe Daryl Smith could come back? Did he sign anywhere else?

yes, tampa.

There is literally no point in getting Whitner... Waste of time for the front office. He's a great safety, but we have enough safeties.. Ironic the position named safety is arguably the most unsafe position for the ravens defense in the past what, 3 years. Shame. One minute you're the starter, next minute you're on special teams.

What I think we can take for granted about our schedule:

1.) A home start v. the Bengals or the steelers
2.) A Week#17 game @ CIN
3.) A road MNF game v a mid-tier or lesser team (my guess is the JAX game - maybe the Dallas one)
4.) A TNF game in the first couple of available weeks, v. a division opponent (my guess: our home Browns-game)

Great job!  Do you also know tomorrow's Mega Millions number.

Hahaha

1. Rams - Wentz
2. Browns - Goff
3. Chargers - Ramsey
4. Dallas - Zeek
5. Jaguars - Tunsil
6. Ravens - Jack
7. 49ers - Bosa

He needs to work on his hands and shedding blockers but he has a lot of potential.

The only thing I can really agree with is the WR prediction. I think we spent enough of our offseason time last season and this season addressing the TE issue. We need a CB.

Tunsil is not putting on much muscle without overbulking. Jaylons knee is an if. Ron Stanley is a real college student with a real degree. Not an athlete who happens to go to classes. He clearly cranked up the intensity several notches when he dominated Leonard Williams. So football is important  to him. A challenge excited him and he wanted to win the confrontation. So he will work in the nfl and hit the weightroom.  So he has shown work ethic and competitiveness. I agree his interview is necessary to draft him. I understand there is much to prove about his game. But same can be said about your top6 players. Buckner I do not like very much. Boss I'm a fan but he has not checked the boxes. Hargreaves was toasted. There is more excuses for Ramsey not making big plays than big plays. Jack is not penciled in as the next Patrick Willis or even Luke Kuechly. He is the safest player next to Tunsil. The best player in this draft Nkemdiche has character drama. You could make a case Ron Stanley is as good a player as any in the draft. He holds blocks is athletic intelligent has balance long arms and although he could use some muscle he shows a very stout anchor.  More so than Tunsil. His only question is will he turn his attention to weightroom after his graduation.  My opinion he really will. He showed work ethic to get his degree when it us not really necessary. And he shows pride in his play when he turned up the intensity to dominate his confrontation with Leonard Williams. 

Tunsil will have a better career than Stanley... Unless he gets drafted by the browns. Because... who has a good career in Cleveland anymore....

Round 1.   Ronnie Stanley

Round 2.   Jaylon Smith

Round 3.   Braxton Miller

That would be horrible

Even after McFadden had a 1000yds season and they took Morris in FA?

Yes lol. What is this McFaddens first year he didn't get injured? Morris hasn't proven to be a starter. With how short RB's longevity is, Zeek is the best option for dallas. Zeek protects the QB much better than McFadden as well.

It would take a very particular situation for Jack to fall to us... No matter the perfection of the pick. That would be sheer hope for us ravens fans.

I think we'll end up drafting VH3 with our first pick. Or we might be in for an awakening with Elliott being our pick! I can't understand why Elliott never made the conversation in the presser today. Although there isn't a big need for us at the moment, I would love to know what Eric and gang think of him. The second pick is going to be really exciting to see who we actually pick.

If we draft Zeek I will probably throw my TV out the window

The nightmare scenario is that Tunsil, Bosa, Ramsey, Jack, and Buckner go before we pick.

not really... If it plays out like that we can draft Hargreaves for our #1 or trade down and draft Shaw Lawson. If we draft Hargreaves in the 1'st we have a shot at Noah Spence or Ogbah.

1. VH3

2. NOAH SPENCE OR JAYLON SMITH

3. LE'RAVEN CLARK

I've been recently intrigued about Texas Tech SR Jakeem Grant. Amazing highlight reels and the kid has a motor made for the NFL. He was apparently not even invited to the NFL scouting combine and I feel like that's due to his over lacking in the size department. Grant sits at an underwhelming 5'6 at 161lbs. While this could be a huge problem, I feel like he is a very capable 7th round or undrafted prospect. He ran a blazing 40 time at his pro day and even though its manually clocked, it was confirmed at 4.12. He could be a viable player for special teams and could possibly make his way into the WR rotation with waller going to TE, smith on his last ride, Perriman is unproven (even though I think he will bloom) and Mike Wallace is..... Well Mike Wallace.

PS. I know there is a lot of promise between Perriman, Campanaro and Aiken. I just feel like if we do draft a WR in this years draft we might as well wait until someone falls into our lap rather than go Reaching for unpromising prospects. Really the only WR's I see plausible to draft are Will Fuller, Corey Coleman, or Sterling Shep. Who god knows if any of these guys will be available when we pick in round 2.... As long as we don't pull some crazy plan to draft Laquon Treadwell.
