It will all depend on where Kap and RGIII go. CLE is interested in Kap. DAL "says" they wont pick a QB in the first. It's possible no one takes a QB in which case our #6 may fetch a high price to teams looking to move up ahead of SF. Personally I think SF should see how Kap does under Chip Kelly in which case CLE takes a QB. DAL may be blowing hot air and take one as well. Thats the best case for us at least. It will most likely be somewhere in the middle where 1 QB is taken ahead of us.

Neither of those guys will prevent a QB needy team from taking Goff or Wentz unless they feel that neither will be good in the NFL. The consensus is that they are both Top 10 picks and that is where they will be drafted.

Not sure if I am comfortable with having two smaller safeties patrolling the back end... My vote is definitely on Elam getting the axe... not the right fit in Baltimore

[RAVENSfanINmi]

I like this from Le'veon. I've been hatin' on the pats for a while, now this renews my disgust for the squealers...THANKS!

Elam had a promising rookie season - most of which he played at FS although he's much more a SS... - and then a less stellar sophomore season, followed by one on IR. He has to crank his game up a notch or two - but I think it's way too early to label him a bust.

we already have a player as fragile as harvin on the roster. see (camponaro) no thank you to both

Campanaro.

He's always been way too good friends with Ed Reed to be mean to the Ravens...
And also, I'm quite sure the Ravens and Steelers plaers and execs always respected the hell out of each other. Great rivalries are always built upon mutual respect. And both the Ravens and Steelers organizations have a lot to respect about the other.

Agreed that there's a certain level of respect shared by the organizations and players.  However, there are players on both sides that I'm sure were truly hated, i.e., Hines Ward. 

I'm not sure about that - but, of course, we can't know that.

It's funny how Bell have something to say, him and his mediocre back up RB. Bell should concentrate on finishing a season for his team. He just mad because Eric Weddle chose Our Baltimore Ravens over them.

Did his dumb self say it was too late for us to win, yeah right, what have you guys done lately. I'll tell you what you've done, you lost to a decimated Ravens team, with no secondary to speak of twice last season. Not only that we beat you w/o Joe Flacco.

The Steelers were so desperate in games that their coach would put you injured Franchise QB back in a game after you pulled him out for said injury. The Steelers always talking that Steel Curtain crap, that Steel Curtain is full of rust and has no stability.

Every time someone says something bad about us before the season starts we play some of our best football. I for one can't wait until the season starts now. After what they did to Steve Smith Sr. last season lets not forget about that either. This season against these Angry Bumble Bees that calls themselves Steelers will be personal and once again, we will come out on top. I love our Baltimore Ravens and these two RBs Williams and Bell have pissed me off with this talking crap. All that's left to is Lets Go Ravens.....Ball So Freakin Hard.

News just broke, We just locked up Wallace.

I think he just pissed off the whole Ravens Nation. He has no idea what that means for them from us next season. same thing that happened to them from us last season. I hope we are the ones that keep them from making the playoffs if they win that many games.

[hen826957]

Mike Wallace is a Raven. Let's see how the combination of Mike Wallace and Perriman goes. :-) Now l just want them to sign Upshaw and be done with free agency. Also try to get Justin Tucker to a long term deal. Then focus on the draft.

[EvilWayz]

Mike Wallace is a Raven. Wait a Baltimore Raven. Now that's a jab Le'Veon Bell. 2yr 11 million dollar deal. Way to go OZZIE NEWSOME and Baltimore Ravens FO.

Campanaro.

Speaking of Campanaro. It the guy could just stay healthy he would be a solid playmaker. He gets you all excited making these big splash plays then go down for the season. At least this year there will be extra motivation with the very real possibility of being cut.

[RavensBaltimore]

Le'Veon Bell should have had a talk with Lamar Woodley before trash talking about the Ravens.

[eze17]

Wallace, Weddle & watson...and the fourth 'W' will be Welcome to B-more! Anyone out there who still thinks the Ravens are not committed to winning now? I did'nt think so. Three starter's from free agency, our 1st round and possibly our 2nd round picks starting(both very high picks,A luxury the Raven's hav'nt had for quite A while!), and A healthy Perriman = A nice little re-vamp from last year. As an added bonus, Watson and Weddle are proven locker-room leaders.

[hen826957]

Mike Wallace, Bershad Perriman, Steve Smith, Kamar Aiken that's a nice group of recievers for Joe to throw to and Campanaro too nice :-) Now if they somehow can get Ramsey he could play corner opposite of Jimmy Smith and hope Noah Spence falls to the second round for passrushing you looking at a pretty good defense. :-)

motivation will not make a difference for any player made out of glass. there are other players with his same skill set available in free agency or in the late rounds

Sounds good. We need to sign an offensive lineman in free agency.

[ellicottraven]

This move helps Breshad Perriman a lot imo. Mike Wallace is a refined route runner and a speedster. He's worked on his ball catching skills with the Juggs machine as I recall. So, I think bringing in Mike Wallace to mentor and play alongside Perriman is going to benefit Flacco tremendously and keep defenses humble and deep. Imagine the possibilities when the box can't be stacked against the Ravens? Flacco has breathing room, the running game is flourishing and everything on offense clicking! With this addition, I won't rule out the Zeke Elliott pick for the Ravens in the first round... That would really kill defensive coordinators into the poison they choose to drink every snap!

RE: Odd Safety out. I have to say that if Hill is cut I'd be very surprised since he fills the Strong safety roil well. Can't see any other safety on our roster tackling in the box and making sacks in blitz packages. Webb? Nope. Lewis? No again. Brooks? Back up material for now. Elam? More missed tackles than anyone on the team. If Hill isn't a Raven by September, then someone will have screwed up.

[Halshayeji]

Poor young Bell doesn't realize the only thing that is too late is his arrival to the Steelers. Ben is breaking down in front of our eyes. Steelers hate aside, Bell is a fantastic young player but unfortunately for him, he is a few years too late

Nice!

[ravensnj]

I see Will Hill and Weddle as the starting safeties. Webb will be in the nickle, which is played about 75 to 80 percent of the time. Hill is a huge play maker. W

If no Ramsey then I'd be happy with Stanley to allow Flacco enough time to actually make those deep passes and hopefully Spence or someone like Will Jackson III or Kendall Fuller is there in round 2... we got options all of a sudden!

[dirtybird66]

sounds like BELL is just gettin alittle scared to me,if you look back at when MIKE WALLACE left pittsburg,they thought the sky was fallin,just google-mike wallace leaves pittsburg and one article says 5 reasons we wont miss MIKE WALLACE and the whole time they were really just talkin him up,sad.

[Zeus]

Elam is a cap thief

Agree!

[20306cab]

So Wagner was tops for Ravens in performance based pay. Hmmmm. Don't have to think to hard to know who was the worst! Probably around -$10,000,000.

we would have to trade way way back in the draft for the Zeke pick in the first round to makes sense.

Now why would you say that? He is considered by many to be a top 10 prospect.

you're right, it just makes me nervous drafting a RB that high in this day in age.  But hey, if the FO thinks we should take him that high I am really in no position to argue.  They know a lot more about the players than I do.
