Yeah, this slotting makes it easier unless they are a) in the top of the 1st round & or b) the team trades up for them

From NBC, Ravens have signed 9 of their 11 picks
Offensive tackle Emery Jones Jr. (third round), inside linebacker Teddye Buchanan (fourth round), and offensive tackle Carson Vinson (fifth round) now are signed. Baltimore’s five sixth-round picks – cornerback Bilhal Kone, kicker Tyler Loop, wide receiver LaJohntay Wester, defensive tackle Aeneas Peebles and cornerback Robert Longerbeam — and the team’s final selection, seventh-round guard Garrett Dellinger, also are under contract.

Yeah, the reason he came cheap. But it is a nothing burger if he gets hurts or doesn't pan out. Just depth, if he can stay healthy, very good depth

The Ravens are adding offensive line depth as they signed tackle Joseph Noteboom on Saturday.
Noteboom spent his entire seven-year career with the Rams, playing at both guard and tackle positions. He has played 71 career games with 35 starts.
The Ravens bolstered their offensive line room in the draft by adding Emery Jones Jr. (third round), Carson Vinson (fifth round), and Garrett Dellinger (seventh round). General Manager Eric DeCosta said he sees Jones as a possible swing tackle right away.
Adding the 29-year-old Noteboom gives Baltimore a proven, versatile veteran that can step in when needed. He fills a hole left by the Ravens' swing tackle last season, Josh Jones, who signed with the Seattle Seahawks.

Yes, I agree, the turn overs from Lamar in the playoffs are perhaps the biggest issue. Without them last year, I've no doubt the Ravens win the Super Bowl; none. They controlled the Bills right up to the point of his fumble, the Bills defense could not stop the Ravens offense and were getting gassed.
But, Mahomes had a defense that could make up for his failings last year, up until the Eagles came calling.
Lamar last year against Buffalo, did not have that, the pass rush disappeared, the picks were dropped, even though the defense forced numerous punts, the rest of the offense also dropped the ball, pun fully intended.
We shall see if Lamar grows from these set backs, wins a Super Bowl or two. Maybe he never does, ala Marino and other great qbs.
-
If you look at the strides of improvement from Lamar's passing over the past few years yes, you can see a vast improvement. Sure, he still struggles with those deep passes, but he is on par with most of the best and still getting better.
Look at Mahomes last year, bad line, no real threat at receivers nor true running game, he was not as good as year's past.
My point, it takes a lot to reveal a qbs true talent, and I think we are now seeing Lamar really coming into his own.
-
I have to believe that Lamar knows his worth to this team, that he now realizes how tasty a championship can be and perhaps more importantly, what it takes ro get one. He is smart, sees how these high salaries are hurting a team's chance to win it all.
So yes, I am sure he wants the money, shoot he has enough now for a generation or two even if he stopped playing now. He will get his, and make sure so do the teammates needed to get him what he really wants, a ring.

Dak is a Cowboy, like the Browns, different rules

What are the possible outlines of a new deal Lamar would take?
Likey just as with Allen who sign a six year deal worth $55 mil per year. Lamar will get, based on Harbs and Eric's own words, a higher or the highest deal. So at least $56 mil per year, six year deal, the last 2 maybe void years.
-
Oh he will redo his deal, as will Smith, that will give the team close to $80-90 mil in cap space next year

They brought in a couple of centers via undrafter free agency, we shall see how good one or both are. I do expect Lindy to be reasonable

If center Tyler Linderbaum remains with the Ravens for the 2026 season, it will have to be on a different contract than his current one.
The Ravens announced on Wednesday that they will not exercise their fifth-year option on Linderbaum’s rookie deal. Safety Kyle Hamilton’s option is going to be picked up.General Manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement that the team is interested in signing Linderbaum to a new contract.
“While we will not apply the fifth-year option to Tyler Linderbaum, it is our intention for him to remain a Baltimore Raven long term,” DeCosta said.
Linderbaum would have been guaranteed $23.403 million under the terms of the option. That would make him the highest-paid center in the league by far, so a deal that puts him in the same $17-18 million average annual salary as Creed Humphrey and Cam Jurgens is likely the route the Ravens will try to go.

It is not good for evaluating, but it can really open their eyes, help them see how they need help.

Yep, just like all of their super stars, they are always hurt

Nice article on Nash Hutmacher

Likely just got a little more expensive
QuoteWe’ll be getting the real numbers on the George Kittle extension soon. For now, we’re told that the four-year extension contains an inflated final-year salary that pushes the new-money average from $18 million per year to $19.1 million.
When it comes to new contracts, the number that gets publicized more than any other is the new-money average per year. When it’s time to get to the truth of new contracts, the first question is whether the new-money APY is real, or inflated.
Why $19.1 million? Because the highest-paid tight end, Trey McBride of the Cardinals, has a new-money APY of $19 million.
Kittle is 31. It’s unlikely that he’ll finish a five-year contract. Dumping a phony salary into the final season doesn’t impact the 49ers.Kittle told the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast earlier that the deal was worth $76.4 million.
George Kittle's extension includes an average annual value of $19.1 million, putting him just ahead of Trey McBride for the largest average per year for a tight end in NFL history.

There have been a number of big men like Pierce, Madds, remember Jelly? All had the same need, a "kick in the pants" and look how they embraced it. So it is possible he will as well and how great he can be...
-
Yeah, Gabriel likely gets put on IR from having a clipboard fall on his toe...

I think I heard the Rutgers cb is good.
Very good, there are a number of guys on this list I think have a real shot at making the 53

Of all the guys on your list, the one I'd really like to see make the cut is Jones. A 6-6 355 defensive tackle is just what the doctor ordered. I hope he's talented enough to stick.
He just needs a little kick in the pants from time to time. It is understandable to a point, he had always been able to just use his size to get by, now he needs strength, & coaching. He made it to the NFL, now does he want to stay?
Cody never understood that in this league, it doesn't matter how big you are, outside, it is how big you are on the inside.

Draft two qbs, one always injured, Gabriel, the other comes with a circus. So how many do they keep on the roster? Who gets cut?
Flacco
Picket
Gabriel
Sanders
Dishonorable mention
Watson
