The way they are hoarding picks, they either plan on drafting all of them or, preparing for a series of trades if the right player(s) drop

Well, what else do a massuase and client who have a team in common talk about? ,How did you hear about me?" "Oh JT told me about you" Or while in the office waiting to be seen they over hear two talking "Who is in the room?" "A Ravens player" "Oh no, not that Tucker guy is it?"

When you have a number of high contract players like Lamar, Roquan, etc, you have to hit big in the draft like the Rams, Broncos have to augment the high salaries. The Ravens have done a pretty good job the last 2 years, this draft may be the most important. This mock was done before the Tucker news https://www.pff.com/news/draft-baltimore-ravens-7-round-mock-draft-2025 Round 1, Pick 27: EDGE Mike Green, Marshall Green was one of the breakout stars of the 2024 college season, as he led the nation with 17 sacks and ranked eighth in the country with in pass-rush win rate (20.1%). He flashed his blend of power and speed while stepping up to play with the big boys at Senior Bowl practices, solidifying his first-round status. Round 2, Pick 60: T Ozzy Trapilo, Boston College Trapilo would slide in immediately at right tackle for the Ravens, with Roger Rosengarten moving over to the left side. Over his final two seasons at Boston College, Trapilo surrendered just two sacks and six quarterback hits. Round 3, Pick 91: CB Jacob Parrish, Kansas State In three seasons at Kansas State, Parrish allowed a catch on just 50% of balls thrown into his coverage, and opposing quarterbacks never recorded a passer rating above 64.0 against him in a season. Round 4, Pick 127: WR Pat Bryant, Illinois At 6-foot-2 and 208 pounds, Bryant has an ideal frame for the NFL and knows how to use it to win at the catch point. Over the past two seasons at Illinois, he caught an impressive 17 of 30 contested targets, also displaying impressive after-the-catch ability with 25 forced missed tackles. Round 4, Pick 135: G Tyler Cooper, Minnesota Cooper made huge strides as a run blocker in 2024, a skill the Ravens could look to upgrade this offseason. He earned an 81.6 PFF run-blocking grade on outside-zone runs, Baltimore's primary run concept. Round 5, Pick 176: S Dean Clark, Fresno State Clark allowed just a 50% catch rate in 2024 while posting a strong 19.4% forced incompletion rate. Round 6, Pick 183: WR Theo Wease, Missouri Wease forced 23 missed tackles after the catch and produced 228 of his 884 receiving yards after first contact in 2024. Round 6, Pick 203: CB Robert Longerbeam, Rutgers Longerbeam has a ton of good tape from the past two seasons at Rutgers. He was tested in coverage a whopping 145 times over that span, and he surrendered just 74 catches while picking off five passes and forcing 23 incompletions along the way. Round 6, Pick 209: EDGE Johnny Walker Jr., Missouri Walker attacks the edge like he’s seeing red, as he posted a whopping 86 combined quarterback pressures over the past two seasons at Missouri. Round 6, Pick 213: LB Aaron Smith, South Carolina State Smith’s specialty is stopping the run. He posted an excellent 86.5 PFF run-defense grade in 2024 with 26 stops, seven of them going for a loss or no gain. Round 7, Pick 245: DI Eric Gregory, Arkansas Another run game specialist, Gregory totaled 28 stops —including 14 for a loss or no gain — over the past two seasons for the Razorbacks.

I have to wonder how much of a role this played in what went on with the 3 other players who just gave up on the team, two of whom were let go during season, one soon to be...

Now there are 10 women acussing him. This is Watson level, the Ravens have almost no choice but to cut ties.

So much is out there on many different forums from 2012 on, no way did the team not know about this. So did they sit Tucker down in 2015 and tell him to fly straight? Is that why he has no other incedents, accusations from 2015 on? If they did and it is found out, more than just Tucker may be gone. This ugly situation could get worse, maybe Humph was right when he said that this team is done.

What gives me pause is one studio being closed, why? What was the cause of their business failing? The pandemic? Marcellus Wiley had a good run down on the massages and how it all goes down at the facility and bleeds into getting it done away from the facility I wonder who tipped off the Banner? Aren't they just a website or do they actually print a news paper? Not that it matters, just curious but why them and not say the Sun or even one of the local TV media outlets? Maybe they did and no one would touch this... He was married in 15, so did he stop getting massages after he was married? Or, if he did do these things, did he stop doing them after he was married? I know there are a couple of real good kickers coming out in this draft, time to get one.

This is going to test the Ravens policy on domestic issues; zero tolerance. Granted they kept Flowers after that investigation lead to no charges

Yeah, if he was not banned, why use so many different spas? I get maybe 2, can't get the day and time you need at one place, but 4?

My question, 6 different people, not to mention their boses whom they claim to have told, all kept this quite for 10+ years? In today's; there is no such thing as a secret, world?

I doubt they saved the DNA for this long since none of them filed a police report. Also, if they did, all it would prove is that he left some behind, not the how or why. Even so, how do the Ravens handle this, especially after the outrage for Watson, and with Rice in their not so distant history. Seems to me they need to draft his replacement sooner rather than later. As brother of 3 sisters, a son to a great mom, a sil to a great mil and a father of 1 girl, step father to another, uncle toady nieces, I take these allegations very seriously. But I am also a realist, I know people will lie just to get money. Is it just a coincidence that one of the places he is banned from is closed down?

Man, this may be the end of Tucker as a Raven, no real way to prove these accusations

Of all the people to try and pull a fast one on, I would think Tucker would not be the one. Still, this might explain his struggles this past season.

Not a bad move, caught him a few times on the Pat Mac pod cast, seems to still have his mind for the game.

According to Espn, Todd is getting an extension, good move Steve, real good move

Bills db Benford got concussed last week, reportedly barely made it out of protocol to play in the Cheifs game. 1 very minor, glancing hit, more of a bump, and dude was in another solar system. Hmm, seem perhaps he "fooled" the tests

Hard to argue against, dude is Sanders/Smith/Brown in one

I'm shocked by some of these hires, should be interesting

Why? Great teammate, solid player, who can play multiple positions, maybe even a hybrid safety. Why reduce the depth at the secondary position?

He is under contract for year, turning 29 by season's start. Give him 3 years, cut the 25 mil in half as a signing bonus.

They should have about $17 mil in cap space, enough to keep most of the team together, before restructure or salary cuts. Curious to see what they do with Humph, first season he made it through injury free, and played like his young self. But he carries a $25 mil cap hit.

Then you can use him at safety or in the Hamilton role, his speed and size . That is the role he was drafted for afterall.

Stephens is an interesting one. Size, speed, he covers tight. If you watch closely, he is beat by perfect throws and incredible catches most of the time. Remember, he was a runningback early in college, then transferred to SMU where they moved him to corner for what 2 seasons? When the Ravens drafted him they did so as a safety, where he played for a year before Wink was fired amd Mac took over. Mac moved him to corner. 2023 was his first season as a starting corner thanks in large part to injuries at the position. So he has onky really had 2 full seasons playing corner. Now he is adapt at playing multiple positions in this defense that likes to run games with who plays corner, safety, dime back on a given play. Yes, he has been burned this year, been a provebial weak link, but his athleticism is hard to walk away from especially given his inexperience

Coach and Gm, Jax is a total mess, I feel bad for Trevor Lawrence.

Yeah, Eric seemed real positive about moving, possibly, Rose to the left side. They seemed to feel real good about free agency and the draft But also settled about the guys on the last year of their contracts as if they will let the contracts play out for now, pending free agency and the draft.
