While at the owners’ meetings, Ravens GM Eric DeCosta all but confirmed that the team will be moving forward with Smith, as Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic tweets.“One of the greatest strengths of our team right now is our secondary. I think it would be foolish for us to make a strength a weakness for no reason,” DeCosta said. I wonder if he has no real trade value.

vmax Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I go with DeCosta's statement. Don't weaken this unit. Not in this pass happy era.Also this unit will neutralize the Browns gains and probably deep 6 the Steelers O.And remember it was not that long ago that the Ravens ran through 287 CB's a season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 But I see Jimmy as more useful as a nice draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Im glad we are keeping Smith. Our D is going to need to keep us in games. Still need that pass rusher though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 But I see Jimmy as more useful as a nice draft pick. A nice 6th rounder?Unproven player?How many CB's have the Ravens run through to finally get some guys who can play?287. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 When did I say 6th rounder? Show me that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneManCypher Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Smart move or non move, Jimmy is an above average CB, with excellent size for the position. What he is making is not ludicrous considering some of the contracts handed out during free agency. What about moving Brandon Carr to safety tho.

papasmurfbell Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 They are set at Safety. They are still paying Jefferson. They just signed Thomas. They have the rookies from last yr. I don't even see the position as a draft need anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
