Free agency perhaps, where they could still find a tackle,Cam Robinson amd tight end, David Njoku, to solve two holes

Hey, I am just spit balling what I would do were I in charge. I know this team needs a back up tackle, and a receiving tight end to go along with what I mentioned. But this draft, as we talked about before Harbs was fired, is perhaps their most important because of all of the free agents and bad picks other years. Now with a new coach, even more so. You are not going to pick 11 players who all turn out good. So hedge the bets, use them to identify 4 players you want, and trade picks to get those players. Hey, it may not work out, may not get a team to trade, player may go way too early. In those cases, then go bpa, where you will likely get your back up tackle, your tight end. Likely was a 4th rounder, so ....

You are assuming that the players drafted don't work out, that the new coaches are worthless, and don't turn around the line nor the defense... I chose to think the opposite

In the first 3 rounds? Nope, I know, Stanley is aging faster than a cheap paper towels that is wet. I also know, that Rose took a step back last season, thus needing a tackle or two. But frankly, a center, guard, phatty and corner are the top needs and it is important to get them this year, this draft is deep at those positions, save center, and with 11 picks, they need to use them to get specific players, not "best player available"

All of their top 5 centers lack power & or size. Not what I want in a center. This team needs one who can love a nt on 3rd & 4th and one

The big question is, do they draft a center in the 1st, a bit high for one, check that, this draft is not great for centers, most are either not good at drive blocking or, lack the size/strength to do so.

Well, clearly the offensive line will be both, different and coached differently. At least 1 new guard and a new center, likely 2 new guards and a new center.

Oh for sure take him in the 2nd, a better prospect, arm length or not, than Green.

2 years ago he did, most of his rushing yards came off scrambles and he completed 70% if his passes from, mostly, the pocket.

Well, you are one for conspiracies. This team is not as far off as you think, but also not as close as many others think. 11 draft picks, edge is not so much of a need, a good vet guard in the house, as we've talked about, new line coach. I'm sold on Minter not sold on the new oc, but I'll give him a chance. So they target a big body for the defensive line, a guard, a corner, if they get quality, this team is set.

Well 2 things. 1) he broke it the night before the combine and yet still went through all of the drills and, did so phenomenally. 2) was it displaced? Was it due to a lis franc issue? If the answer to both of those in #2 is no, I would draft him in a heart beat. If not, then no, I would not draft him. His size will continue to cause that injury to reoccur.

Nope, different player type. If he can throw and run, fantastic, if he can only throw and scramble, wonderful. Crosby needs his legs to be productive. Spending 3 or more games out to rest the knee or get scoped every season after this one, then he is not worth 2 #1's

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter says his new pass rusher, Trey Hendrickson, is going to fit perfectly with the defense being built in Baltimore. Minter, who was the Chargers’ defensive coordinator the last two years before being hired by the Ravens this year, said his defense is going to put Hendrickson in a position to make life miserable for opposing quarterbacks. “He’s certainly a weapon,” Minter said of Hendrickson. “He’s proven that. The sack numbers speak for themselves. There’s a lot of different things that he can do for the defense. He’s going to draw attention, so sometimes you have guys that draw attention and then other guys have the opportunity to make plays. Then you have other guys start making plays, then less attention goes toward that. And then you want to get to the point where you can create as many one-on-one matchups for people as possible. Being creative in how we operate, how we set our fronts, and we’ll try to do as as many things as possible to create opportunities for Trey to wreck the game.” Hendrickson has 81 career sacks, and the Ravens are confident he has a whole lot more in his future. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jesse-minter-ravens-will-create-opportunities-for-trey-hendrickson-to-wreck-the-game

I'm getting close, the idea of two edge rushers so expensive that he said, he was willing to do, turned my stomach

I was joking and do agree, the arthritis was the issue
