Not just you, they disappeared.

Welcome Ronnie Stanley, why we have to consider some of the stats like this when we are just getting started i have no idea. I think most of my fan friends are pretty happy where the Ravens are so far going into 2016. The health of 4 players looks to be very key at this point. Joe, Suggs, Smith Sr. and Perriman. There are are few minor role injuries and Cap moves that can be made. We seem to be talking about CB, clear some space and get a starter if possible is a popular choice. Go Ravens!

I don't care where we pick next year as long as we draft a CB early.

Personally I care more about drafting last

Desmond King, I am calling it now!

Jabril Pepper will be our 1st round pick. The dude is so exciting to watch and I would love to see him in Black and Purple.

[mearzunkies]

Stanley will have the better career!!

Stanley has already lined up against some of the best pass rushers in the draft - dominated Shaq Lawson, Joey Bosa, Su'a Cravens, etc. Tunsil has not lined up against any of them.....

Although he did line up on Myles Garrett on his game back from his 'suspension'

For a second I thought that was Johnny Manziel in a Ravens shirt in that tweet near the bottom of the page lol. Haven't been that startled since the time I accidentally fast-forwarded through the draft a little too fast and thought we drafted Tim Tebow lol.

[Crusader]

That not very encouraging looking toward 2017.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that Ryan's prediction has us getting bounced out of the playoffs in the Wild Card round?

Two things real quick -

If Kenneth Dixon realizes half of his potential - we won't need a RB.

If McCaffery has another year of the same level of production, the chances of him dropping to a team who made the playoffs is almost nil. If he improves (which he should - if he doesn't, he is not worth a 1st rd pick) he will go top 10, top 15 at worst.

Tunsil has lined up against and shut down Myles Garrett who is probably going to be a top 3 pick next year.

[JimmyBlack]

Is there anyone else who thinks that Reynolds should be a backup QB during training camp?  Especially since Flacco is still recovering from his injury.  He's had a similar backup in Taylor, who is a running and trick play threat back there before, too.  I know that Mallett did a very good job when called to be the next man up, but it wouldn't hurt to give Reynolds some preseason reps at QB, too.  This is the guy who set the NCAA record for rushing TDs ahead of Dixon.

Miami has been floating around the idea of moving Tunsil to Guard for this season.

[Ravensfansince03]

I though about Ray Rice the other day, and the fact that they could have brought him back this season and worked him out. Instead got Trent Richardson

It definitely isn't a bad idea!

I noticed this too. I might have deluded myself a little after we had such a great draft, but I have Super Bowl hopes this year. This is probably the best offense on paper that we've ever had, and I really like what we did in the draft on the defensive side. If someone can step up and fill Daryl Smith's shoes, or if we sign a FA, then I don't see why we shouldn't have a shot. The schedule is significantly easier this year too.

[dirtybird66]

well,if you have the 12th to 16th rated QB. every year and the third best in your division,your probably going to get about those SUPER BOWL odds every year,anybody know how TYROD TAYLORS been doing?

[ravensnj]

You are going to need the first pick in the 2017 NFL Draft to get a chance at Christian McCaffery. This guy is the real deal. He is an entire offense by himself. He should have won the Heisman last year, but he was robbed! Google any video if you don't believe me. No chance the Ravens would be close to getting the biggest RB/WR/KR since Barry Sanders. Oh, did I forget to mention how he eclipsed all Sanders collegiate records ?
