Ravens UDFA's 2014

[BalloutRaven21]

We really don't need either, but after Tyrod's play against NE, we need to try to find someone else to backup Joe.

Joe has never missed a game,  so i don't see a back qb as a bigger need than nickel cb.

[Gordo52]

I'm not set in stone against it, but I just feel he burns us at the end, kinda like Hernendez did to the Patriots (maybe not murder bad, but ypou get the point)

Hernandez was a big part in making the Patriots one of the most dangerous offenses, (lol) before he got in trouble. If Colt could have an impact on the field just close to what Hernandez did, I'll gladly accept and root for him. If he does, signing him long term would become the risk, but we'd have to cross that bridge when we get there.

We can't bet that Joe won't miss a game. that's one of the reason we missed the playoffs last year. If we had a decent back up, maybe we beat the Bengals. We have options for nickel cb and like I said, it's really bad if we have to trust a rookie 6th rounder to be starting Nickel.

Hernedez backfired and not only gave them bad PR, but they had to cut him and it really hurts them cap wise. I'm sure the Patriots will tell you that no matter how good his play was, they wished they never thought about touching him.

iunno why u guys are hating on the post when im speaking the truth, your saying you guys wouldn't want, Exum, Roberson, Purifoy,Reynolds or Michele over the qb we drafted, Come now, any of those cbs could have put up a good fight for the third cb spot. Passing on those players was a mistake. The qb we draft won't help are team at all. We had one more cbs than we qbs on the team and usually the third cb is on the field with ONE backup cb, COME ON NOW Get Real   

no one said they would rather have Wenning over the players that were available. Its one thing to say that you wanted "Exum, Roberson, Purioy, Reynolds or Michele" and another to say the guy that we took is a bum. People, obviously including myself, hated on your comment for that reason. Many of us thought we should have gone another way with our pick. Calling a player a bum before he even plays a down in the NFL? Saying he's a bum is not "speaking the truth" that is asserting an opinion and there's a vast difference.

[BalloutRaven21]

We have Chykie and Asa. Both would be better #3's than a rookie 6th round pick. Weinning could at least give us some assurance if Joe goes down.

ha dont make laugh Chykie could barely cover, with limited snaps still gets caught on all the time. and i like asa but still needs time to develop, have u watched any tape on these collage cbs, sych as Roberson Reynolds, they all have WAy better coverage skills than Chykie and Asa. Watch sum tape first before u make these assumptions

Chykie hasn't been terrible, he's just been really inconstant.  At least he has some NFL experience. I don't have the faith of you to say some UDFA rookies have better coverage skills than multiyear drafted NFL veterans. I think you, not I need to watch the tape TBH.

Injuries can't be predicted, they are accidents (most of the time). How many people saw Brady going down for a whole year a couple of years back? that year the Pats were prepared anyway and still won many games and made the playoffs. Just because Flacco hasn't missed a game doesn't mean he won't ever, we saw that he isn't invincible at the end of last year.

Gave them bad PR for a couple months... And yeah that's the only risk that would come with Lyerla. If he does great and we resign him long term then screws up.

No backup qb would help us beat the Bengals with that o line, those receivers, no pass rush, pitta coming off season ending injury and beat up ray rice. Even if we beat the bengals we that back qb, we would not have won a playoff game

Yes, I'm sure that NE wants to be forever know as the team that drafted and gave a contract extensionto a murderer. Just looks great. I just don't want to get the Bengals reputation for having lots of felons on their team.

[ravensnick]

Ok back to UDFAs. Any new guys?

[hn68wb4]

Have u watched any of them play, im serious ravens fan, didnt miss a game last year,  Roberson is one of the best cover cbs in the draft, Reynolds has better cover skills than Chykie too, has better work ethnic and is a leader. Roberson has the potenial to be somthing maybe not thise year but can develop like how jimmy did. Dont ever call me a troll because i know more about this years collage prospects than u two. 

how many 6th round CBs come into the league ready to play, better yet how many 1st rounders come in ready to play?....the answer is almost none, even our own Jimmy Smith needed a few years, Chykie and Asa at least have NFL experience, theres a massive difference between coverage in college and coverage in the pros. Roberson can't play man coverage to save his life, youre dreaming if you think he is one of the best cover corners in the draft. Obviously you don't know much, saying that Chykie can't play, he may be inconsistent but he has shown that he can hang with pro receivers. I'd be more impressed if you found someone on this forum that didnt see every game last year and the year before and so on.

Who cares about reputation? Just win baby. If Colt makes us a better team, sign him.

[hn68wb4]

our bank account cares about reputation, if we take him and he screws us, ticket sales go down, we have to cut him leaving us with dead money, etc

He's a ticking time bomb. He's gonna explode in our face one day if we take him.

The ravens signed Jerry Rice Jr. Obviously just being related to arguably the best receiver in NFL history makes him a big name, but it doesn't mean anything really. Just kind of cool that if he could make a roster it would be the Ravens.

yeah he isn't likely to make the team or even practice squad, he only had 11 career receptions in college and 1 TD

He had 11 receptions for 80 yds at UNLV last year. can someone say name brand only?

[BmoreBird22]

You have zero way of knowing that

[ravensnick]

Let's just say I prefer to keep away from players with cocaine habits.

[BmoreBird22]

That's fair enough. I wouldn't mind giving him a workout and maybe having him in for preseason.

[ravensnick]

i'd do that, but I'm not signing him before i see him with my own eyes if I'm Ozzie.

[hn68wb4]

i'd do that, but I'm not signing him before i see him with my own eyes if I'm Ozzie.

I'm not dead set against giving him a shot, but i wouldn't until i know for sure he is over the cocaine, he will now have more money than ever and that'll make him way more susceptible to falling back into cocaine, thats not an addiction that easy to get over especially when you can afford it no problem

And you have a solid job as well.

I just said he dosent have to start he could develop into something,can u read. I dont wanna trust Chykie brown for the whole year at #3 Cb. Chykie is alright at best he's not a starter, We need someone who can become a good player not be a decent player the whole time, Lardarius or web could go down at anytime then who will be are #2 Chykie, they will target him everyplay like last year. you say i know nothing, but your the one tryna argue that Chykie is a good #3 cb he's not.

[edthehead]

I would like to get colt,He is undrafted so the money (as somebody alluded to)would be very minor.he acts up he is gone,but,,,BUT if he wants to be the burfict player,Then I would take that chance LET'S GET HIM,,,,

3) "Lardarius or web" Lardarius Webb is one person...Flacco could go down at any time as well, leaving Tyrod as the starter? no thanks, great athlete, not a great QB

4) Asa could become a good player, in fact he could be great, he's only 24, has NFL experience and has shown flashes of being extremely good

5) The fact that you are arguing that Brown is not a serviceable #3 shows that you 'know nothing" - your words not mine. I'd much rather have Chykie in the #3 spot with actual NFL experience and being serviceable than some rookie who went undrafted. Every QB will target our #3 just like Flacco targets #3s all the time, every QB will go after the weakest link, its balanced out by the fact that he will be on their #3 WR, he doesnt have to be able to cover Megatron or Gordan or any other #1 or #2, all he has to do is cover another team's 3rd option and he is more than capable of doing that
