Ben Powers nets the Ravens a 4th round pick, giving them 8 now.

Just amazing all around from the treatment he demanded to his bad play, all of the draft capital they gave up. Pitt seems a good fit, if his wife allows the move

Nice work, per Shefty

Come on papa, very few tackles, top ones too boot, play every game, every year. From simple ankle sprains because their foot got stepped on to blown knees because they got rolled up on. It happens.

Tick tick.tick

A good replacement for Queen, Payton Wilson. 6-3, 233, a 4.43 in the 40, pretty good in coverage, can get better with coaching. Great Blitzer and tackler. He would be a good 2nd round pick,

Well, you can't forsee injuries, it is a risk you have to take. He was worth it if heallthy.

Well, the contracts for both Lamar and Smith are so long and large that of course you have to adjust them as needed. They are two player that you expect to live out the life of the contracts. I like Pollard, in general, but he always seems to be nicked up, not sure I want him here. Sign Gus, draft a back or two, carry on... Andrews is the interesting one, his age, his injuries, the emergence of Likely, is Andrews going to live out his contract, even as good as he has been?

Seahawks release Jamal Adams (a short stint rip off for all they gave up to get him) and another safety, good bet Stone lands there

Mad has been tagged “We were unable to agree on a contract extension with Justin before the deadline and will use the franchise tag,” DeCosta said in a statement. “Justin is a great player and person, and we will continue to negotiate a long-term deal with him.”

If they can't get Gus back, they should try to draft this guy; speed, 4.3 40 yard dash and power https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Isaac-Guerendo-RB-Wisconsin

Per Shefty, Broncos to release Wilson, will incur an $85 million dead cap hit; ouch, highest ever

I would be thrilled with Newton at 30, or even early in the 2nd if they can trade down abfew spots. Morgan, a bit high for him, he is a project but has the potential to be a solid starting tackle, on the right side, not sure he is a left tackle in the NFL. Burton I would be very disappointed if he were a Raven. Talk about a moody player, he has almost all of the tools, he is only missing humility. If he doesn't get the ball when he is open, he pouts and disappears. Pearsall is an interesting one, I think he will be more of a slot guy, the Ravens really need a deep X guy, someone who will clear the middle on deep crosses, or command a safety over the top. There are a number of guys this year who qualify for that, a trade up in the 2nd could land one.

Man, the wide outs were flying, some surprises with a couple big names running "slow" I will say, some players play faster, something about game adrenaline that allows them to relax and just run.

Oh I got you, some good depth in this draft at dB with speed that should be there on day 2. I suspect they will likely draft online at 30, if they stay there, very likely they trade down to get more day 2 picks, this draft is so deep at depth where the team needs it.

Yeah, but, he has short arms and not much power. Could be a good role player, rotational player on the defensive line. Late round pick, 4th, 5th?

Man, a whole lot of sub 4.4 times for dbs, some good athletism from defenders alone the line.

Yeah, Bowser and Riccard alone will free up a big chunck.

Combine starts today, though a few high profile players have said they will not work out at the combine. I used to really enjoy watching them go through the drills, you can really see their athletism in drills. The cone drills can help one see if a player has quick feet, a little wiggle. The gauntlet, now for receivers, this tells you how good their hand-eye coordination is, and of course how good they catch with their hands

No way they move away from road graders, they open holes for the quick shifty backs that can break a big run. Monken loves big lines that can wear a defense out.

Yeah, is he worth that money? Yep, but is he worth having to lose two or 3 other players who fit accentuate the roster? Probably not, look to the draft to replace him

Yeah, tagging him put him at what, 21 mil? There are moves that they would have to make any way, converting salary to bonus, extensions, etc, but those moves might not have been enough, on their own to keep him, now, perhaps they are...

Yep, it puts them in a decent spot to make a few moves, nothing outlandish mind you, but some, maybe even keeping Madebeke

To 255.4, a record raise.. yippie https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-salary-cap-skyrockets-to-255-4-million-for-2024-season-up-record-30-6-million-from-2023/
