Free Agent WRs

Offense or defense?
[/quote]

Both! lol

But seriously though, I'd like to probably move from Boldin and bring in a number 2 guy. But mostly I do want to build up the offensive line.

Birk will probably retire. McKinnie will be gone as well.

3 returning lineman. Yanda, Oher and KO. Don't think WR will be a huge priority...

You gotta let Oher walk because he will ask for too much and Birk will probably retire. McKinnie will be gone as well.

He gets one last chance to prove his worth at whatever position he will play next year, heres to hoping its RT.

IF I had to pick, easily Bowe based off of talent, but realistically, we might take Amendola.... Slot dude to replace Q
[/quote]

Isn't that why Doss is here? I heard bad things about bowe. I picked Jennings tho we'd never afford him.

[arnie_uk]

Yea he could potentially be extended to lower his cap number

O-line
D-line
[/quote]

my thoughts exactly. Sick of all these WR threads. Doss looks good, Deonte looks promising, Streeter was beating webb in practice until Webb got hurt, Jacoby is a baller, David Reed has even shown some promise. thats 5 WR's behind torrey who have all shown considerable promise. Invest in the O line and D line.

If Doss had the talent Bowe had he would have been a first rounder.

There are 3 things I wouldnt mind trading up to the top 10 for. We need a LT, pass rushing 3-4 lineman/olb or Teo. I feek we are so close and we just need another you playmaker on defense or someone to solidify our o line. Forgot, also wouldnt mind a NT, but we wouldnt need to move up I think.

I feel like talking about the draft or FA this early is bad luck.

[flaccopoe]

Food for thought: Cruz and Hartline were the 14th and 15th leading receivers for 2012!

With the way he has played this year I wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers let him walk.

Cruz benefits from having Nicks next to him, Hartline is a good WR 2, but Miami needs everything that they can get.

If Tom Brady had the talent of Peyton Manning, he would have gone in the first round....oh wait.

That's the kind of statements got someone on my ignore list

[ravensfan2424]

I'd love to get Amendola. I feel he won't command too large of a contract because of how underrated he truly is

[arnie_uk]

No. I enjoy sarcasm

[black blood purple passion]

I feel like even if we had Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, and Torrey Smith, Flacco wouldn't be able to hit any of them because he has 2.5 seconds to throw the ball on average. Linemen first, WR's later!

Tavares Gooden was a third rounder. McClain and Ellerbe were undrafted. Which of these three have actually had significant time on defense?

Using draft status to rate a players talent is foolish!

[CalvinSmoke]

Wide Receivers are fun luxuries but we really do need an O-line.

I believe the terms in question here are potential and development. I think you could argue Doss has a similar if not better pair of mitts on him then Bowe, but Bowe is slightly more polished at this point in time. But, Boldin was quoted as saying once he's gone you won't even miss him because Doss is THAT good. Our guys never get a chance because we bury them on the depth chart with over priced veterans. Let the kids show us what they can do!

[Ravensfan23]

The Ravens can't afford to sign any type of premier WR this offense. The Ravens have really good depth at this WR and these young guys have been developing. Now that Cam is gone, youu have to hope that whatever OC is in charge next season open things up next year.

Doss isn't Q, but he compliments Torrey well as the #2, much like Q, i think using him in the slot is best. Jacoby has found a home and I think he'll restructure if need be, he'll continue to be that other field stretcher until Streeter develops into that other deep threat to Torrey.

I think the Ravens have to find a way to use both Reed and Thompson. Those guys didn't do anything special today, but I feel both bring speed and quickness to the offense. LQW can be a reallly good #2 imo, he just have to continue to develop.

All in all, i think the Ravens are looking pretty good at WR, especially when you factor in Pitta and Dickson as well. The Ravens need to sure up the oline. They can get by with a WR corp that doesn't have a true #1. However they cannot consistently do well without a stud at LT.

The Ravens will have to make some cuts to free up money and that money should go to the likes of a Clady, or Alberts or a trade. You cannot be serious about committing to Flacco as your Franchise QB and not get him his Franchise LT to protect him. The Ravens are usually quite on the first couple days of FA, but they gotta go hard to get that oline right.

For the price he'll get, I don't want Wallace.

About Doss, he was considered a 2nd round talent but injuries pushed him down.

I was trying to say Bowe is über talented! Doss is not. IK many people who think Bowe has near Torrey Smith talent! Doss would've been taken much higher if not for injuries and having average talent..... Burfict was undrafted, über talented, not comparing draft stock. Trying to say Doss is not nearly as talented as Bowe

Torrey hasnt had a Bowe like season yet, so thats a bit backwards!
