[News] Ravens Sign Six Players To Reserve/Future Contracts

11 posts in this topic

The Ravens were pretty high on Skura and Broxton when they got them and Houston is a potential return man candidate. Wouldn't be surprised to see one or a couple of those names on the Ravens roster in 2017 depending on how the draft goes.

The draft has nothing to do with a player being good enough to be a starter. Either they can do it or they can't.

Good.... I like the potential of Broxton. The guy is a giant and has some athleticism for his size... reminds me a little of Ramon Harwood... but better basics.

WE NEED
1. CB
(we cannot go another year expecting Jimmy to stay healthy and giving him little help opposite) In a conference where we will see AJ Green, Antonio Brown, Corey Coleman and Tyrell Pryor 2x ... we need DB help

2. We need players who can rush the passer.
(I think B. Kafusi will also be a nice addition in that area next season)

3. WR... we need a play maker. We have speed... we need that elusive talent who runs good routes and will make you miss (what we hoped campanaro would be).

4. Help on the OL (unless we re-sign Rick Wagner- which I hope we do)

5. S. and this one may be higher (or hopefully addressed through FA). Webb is just not a starting S in the NFL. He would make a quality back up (not for what we are paying him) but his versatility makes him valuable... (he could fill in at S or CB)

I really hope that we can add both a S and WR via FA. We don't seem to be able to draft either position well but have found luck through the FA market
(SSS, Boldin, Mason- Weddle-etc.)

Save the draft picks for CBs and OLB (positions we have traditionally drafted well).

In 2000 when Ozzie was given all the credit for the record setting defense, was it him or was it Marvin Lewis who seems to always have a better than good defense in Cincinnati?. Our Raven defense was great until we ran out of all of Marvin's picks. Obviously picking players in the draft is not Ozzie's or Harb's strong suit. Harb's lets his personal feelings get in the way of keeping the right players, I,e G Geather, Big McKenny, Anquan, Pollard, Ngata, Osemele to name a few and the list goes on. Harb's only keeps the guys he likes personally who don't speak out. So here we are! Let's just keep the OC who after we run the rock down a teams throat to the 10 yd line and then call a pass play on first n goal, and Mr. I have a great arm but slow brain throws an interception.
Flaco plays well as long as the O Line is playing great and he is not being rushed. So goes the O Line, so goes Flaco.

Talk about letting players go, I just think looked at the list of coaches we have, 29 of them, about 25 too many. really harbs ?, no wonder you can't get anything done, and you want to hire more? Really?
