Yep, it is shaping up well. Can they stay healthy? I would love to see then bring back Fuller, if he is healed. Great player & teamate.

The only sport where contestants can die and no one bat an eye.. 3 horses died this week training for the Kentucky Derby More horses dies training at the Laurel Course here in MD. Of course and investigation found nothing wrong....

As you called it, Rock is going to sign a 1 year deal here... worth up to 6 mil according to Shefty

Good move, he will work hard, play hard to earn a big contract next year and get the team a comp pick. He is easily replaceable

I'm stoked having Monken here, looking forward to seeing him take advantage of OBJ, Andrews, JK, etc. I don't know how the rookie Flowers will do, but as I said in the Flowers thread, Todd loves to exploit the slot position. I expect to see some real route combinations to open up the defense, get guys open, Todd specializes in that. Now which Lamar will we get? Will he trust the scheme, throw on time, see the openings? Will he dive into the playback, be at every practice not sit out sick with IBS because the Chinese food smelled so good?

I agree, I was never in favor of trading for him, the cap between he, Lamar and Roquan would be eaten up..

Oh I missed this one. Ravens trade a 6th next year for the Browns 7th round pick. They take Andrew Vorhees, offensive tackle/guard. He would have likely been a 2nd round pick this year but he tore his acl, won't be able to play at all this year. Yes, another chance taken on an injured player. He was very good before the injury, might be a solid right tackle/ guard in 2024.... This team needed quality over quantity, maybe they tried to trade up earlier for a wide out or corner and couldn't, who knows. But this injured played was worth the risk, he is quality, unlike the last few injured players they drafted

Ohio defensive tackle Kaieem Caesar [Ohio Football] Oregon State offensive lineman Brandon Kipper [Wilson] Colorado State-Peublo defensive tackle Trey Botts [Wilson] ECU running back Keaton Mitchell [uStadium] Nebraska tight end Travis Vokolek [Lombardo] Maryland wide receiver Dontay Demus Jr. [Ghafir] Shepard tight end Brian Walker [Wilson] Vanderbilt cornerback Jeremy Lucien [Hallam] UTSA cornerback Corey Mayfield Jr [Pelissero] Southern Miss offensive tackle Tykeem Doss [Wilson] Delaware quarterback Nolan Henderson [Tessler, Agent] SMU offensive lineman Jaylon Thomas [Wolfe] Southern defensive end Camron Peterson

May 2nd I believe

Now it's time for the Ravens to shine as they always seem to do. Find the diamonds in the ruff, undrafted free agents

I was shocked that they took him at all, let alone so early. I realize two of their qbs are injured and likely to miss parts of the season but they are both young and unproven. Why add another to the mix? As for the Ravens, 6th round, missed out on Perry, took offensive tackle, likely a guard Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, 6'6" 330, plays weaker than his size, terrible technique, likely destined for the practice squad... if he makes the team..

And again they take a flyer, this time at corner, a.position of desperate need. They chose Kyu Blue Kelly, Chip's son, in thr 5th (AT Perry still on the board) Kelly is sound in technique, has decent speed, straight line, but it take a few yards before he hits top gear. Quite a handsy player which may get him in trouble in the NFL. He may take a few years to develop, if ever... a 5th round pick, so...

Depth at defensive tackle/ end, it is with Tavius Robinson. He will need a full season of NFL strength training, but his quickness should help.

Hmmff, Eric said the reason for the Simpson pick was bpa, because all of their top listed wide outs were taken... Well Eric, I will repeat what I said earlier. Since you as a team, have not ever drafted a wide out who turned out to be productive, why not throw caution to the wind and say," hey, we think so & so is going to be a bust nfl receiver, so let's take him".. What have you to lose? If he turns out to be a bust, you were right, if you were wrong and he turns out to be an all pro, (very likely) you look like a genius! Isn't that a better gamble than drafting another weak, speedy edge/inside backer who while a manimal, is weak at the point of attack, Likely to be a rotational player at best?

I'm puzzled as to why Ringo is still there, yes he sometimes has lapses in coverage but his skill set and size, speed can't be coached, he can. Do what ever it takes to draft him. If they can't, get Rush, from S Carolina, he is raw but also has the skill set, size, quickness and make up speed this team needs. AT Perry is still there, adding another wide out could also be fruitful

Oh boy, they stood pat, drafted Patrick Queen, er umm Trenton Simpson, same player, same type player, athletic, relied on his athletism in college, doesn't cover well, gets lost in zone coverage... Queen wasn't happy, "sheesh" he tweeted.. yeah, I agree Patrick, I agree

As I said in the draft thread, I think they should try to trade up into the 2nd to get one of the top tier CBS left, Ringo, Porter, etc. Use Duv as bait if needed. This team need quality not quantity

Because he was one of the terms of the hostage release

I wonder does this mean the end of Duv, with cap savings, let Flowers return kicks? Does this end the Hopkins trade? Eric needs to be

Na, no where near Brown. He works hard on his route running and pass catching. If you want to see how Todd will use him, watch tape of how an average receiver, an over achiever in McKonkey, was able to have a stellar career at Georgia. Todd is going to have fun with Flowers. Now I wonder, do they don't have a true run blocking tight end on the team, with Boyle being let go. I wonder if they try to replace him with Darnell Washington, who is essentially an offensive tackle with great hands.

My biggest take away, as Eric said, the nightmare is over

Now, there are still some very good corners in the draft, but not likely to last to round 3. Maybe the team can and should trade up into the second to nab one...

Think Steve Smith, kid plays with attitude, a very good pick. Here is hoping he wasn't the Ravens highest rated wide, that they had Addison rated higher and tried a little reverse psychology

Lions pick is in, they take Gibbs, runningback, Bama, wow, major reach

Titans picks is in, commercial break, they pick a guard from North Western, has played right tackle, Skoronski
