Back to worrying

I really don't think we need a TE - we have Gilmore, Williams, Watson, Pitta, Waller, and eventually will get Boyle back from suspension - yeah half of them need to be superglued back together before seeing the field, but there will be cap casualties in July/August if we really need a body by then.  The TE class this year IMO was very, very underwhelming.  Any guy we picked up, based on talent alone, I think would have a hard time even beating out Waller and he's probably the low man on the totem pole given he's relatively new to the position.  I think as of right now, Jeff Cumberland, Garret Graham, and even old man Owen Daniels are without teams.

i'm actually surprised that Victor Ochi wasn't drafted. He was pretty impressive at the east west shrine game  and he didn't look no different than Noah Spence in my opinion. Teams over look players all the time  and just because Ochi wasn't drafted doesn't mean he isn't or won't be good.

I agree but but let him make the the team b4 talking gem and gamechanger. lol ravens have most needs at key positions like edge rusher and receiver so it is no surprise ravens sign the most players that have a draftable status. There are players I like as well. Like Jay Lee and Paul Mcroberts. But dude let's curve the enthusiasm. But in no way would those dudes compensate for not getting a legit WR like Boyd, Robinson or even a Malcolm Mitchell. If ravens would of drafted Spence there would not be so much excitement over Ochi. I don't know what all the fuss is about because I Said not many undrafted players play at a Pro bowl level. Comparing him to Noah Spence is a reach. Spence is the most explosive edge rusher in the draft.Ochi is a good signing but let's not pretend it makes up for incompetent trade up attempts

Never heard of Victor Ochi but I watched some film on him and he looks very fast and has a very strong motor that just keeps going...

I was just trying to make a joke but the color of @steelers font ruined it.

To all the UDFA welcome to the Raven family. Play and practice hard and you have a chance to get on the field because Harbs  does allow you to compete for playing time.

Bralon addison, wr from oregon. Very similar skill set and body type to campanaro. I've been a fan of his for a little while, I don't know about durability or anything but he's shifty with good hands.

I personally had my doubts about Spence because I'm not sure if he can be every down outside linebacker that The Ravens need. The guy they drafted in the second round seems to have more upside of being a every down outside linebacker than Spence. Maybe Noah Spence is more explosive than Ochi but in my opinion from watching game tape and etc they look pretty similar but the difference between the two is that Ochi has longer arms.

Victor Ochi was rated as a 3rd Rounder by Kiper!? Wow he very well might be a steal

I usually take everything Kiper says with a grain of salt. He's okay, but he doesn't hold a candle to Mayock or Miller if you ask me.

Truth be told kipper just collects a paycheck. Mayock puts some time in but not like he did years ago. Miller I don't know. But Mayock doesn't love trying to forecast players like he did. He is interested in his paychecks and gf 20 yrs younger. He has Said before off the camera he is glad draft season is behind him and is hyper joyful he will not have to watch football tape for months.  Kipper same thing but he doesn't even watch tape. He collects info and reports like it is his opinions.

[Winchester]

As for ochi his level of competition was like highschool. The players he played against looked like highschool players so it is hard to count on him to be anything more than a practice squadder. It would be cool if he is an impact edge rusher. But in my opinion ravens need an edge rusher. Ochi I'm not counting on him to be a game changer

Please ignore that it says New England Patriots. This has been my go to UDFA signings list for 7 years now. This site lists every teams signings or reported signings, makes corrections if there was an error and is usually up to date.  

Also it's organized into divisions making it easier to see what's going on. 

 

Baltimore Ravens
Anthony Fabiano OG Harvard
Victor Ochi DE Stony Brook
Will Lutz K Georgia State
Stephane Nembot OT Colorado
Michael Pierce DT Stanford
Cavellis Luckett LB Middle Tennessee St.
Jarell Broxton OG Baylor

Patrick Onwuasor DB Portland State
Mario Ojemudia LB Michigan
OJ Mau DT Gardner-Webb
Robert Kitching III DL UMass (tryout)

To all of you who participated in last night's hijack of this thread (which has been removed): don't be surprised when you see a warning appear on your record.  You could/should have walked away.  It may take a while to sort it all out, but the "third man in" (and fourth, fifth, etc.) rule applies.

Pretty cool video on Victor Ochi's journey:

I like this guy a lot, hope he makes it onto 53. Noticed in that video he's left handed. Not that it means much in the NFL but is a big plus for me - never knew a leftie who wasn't special in some way.

It was really nice and I'm so glad he's a Raven. This kid is cut like a beast! I hope he's able to make the team and I'm certain he'll be a good pass rusher. Frame and size reminds me of Doom. If Doom can be successful Ochi's got a chance too as long as he puts in the work.

Here are also some quotes from Ochi after he signed with the Ravens. I think he could become a steal: http://www.newsday.com/sports/college/stony-brook/nfl-draft-victor-ochi-agrees-to-deal-with-ravens-after-going-undrafted-out-of-stony-brook-1.11748117

[Runnin Raven]

Really compelling video - obviously pulling for him big-time.

[sflegend89]

Getting Ochi was like getting a free late round flyer, surprised he wasn't drafted, he was overlooked by many just because he's a small school guy.
