Yeah I think that was the stake through our heart. After the pittance we got for Elway combined with Bullet Bob's crappy treatment of everybody, the interest just melted away. And so did the fans at Memorial Stadium.
Interesting article on the trade-down option... http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Should-Ravens-Trade-Out-Of-No-6-Spot/7b599e7a-2f5c-4dad-9b45-5f2545ab51df
Yeah, well the players' rankings will be on a roller-coaster until April so right now it's hard to tell who's going to take what, when. But I will say if this draft is weak as T suggests, trading down might not be the best strategy. And it would take 2-3 years to assemble a highly competitive team if it is a weak one.
Good article. I don't know if we could afford any of them but the list is impressive. And I agree it would be best to take a playmaker with the 6th pick in the draft if one is there. If not we either take the tackle or trade down for more picks. How deep is this draft supposed to be in talent, anybody heard?
I think Ozzie & company will do well this year in the draft and free agency, but it might take another year after that for us to become dangerous again.
Good words from Joe. I hope Linta backs him up. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Late-For-Work-121-Is-Joe-Flacco-Open-To-A-Contract-Restructure-Come-On-I-Want-To-Win/af6ba71e-2c8c-4012-b027-86266bcdb619
After much hand-wringing, I'm rooting for Denver and Arizona. I can't stand Brady and I'd like to see Carson Palmer and Fitzgerald in the SB. Plus, maybe if Manning actually wins the next two games, he'll retire and I won't have to watch him at all anymore.
I'm getting ready to jump on the Treadwell bandwagon. We need multiple threats. SR may not be the same next year and I haven't heard anything about how Perriman is doing now. However, you have to salivate over the prospect of having all three plus Aiken healthy and productive next year.
There's nothing wrong about that scenario but it leaves out getting a playmaker for the offense. How about this guy in the 2nd if he's still there... http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1825087/josh-doctson
Steelers receivers: Since '09, Steelers have drafted Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, Markus Wheaton, Martavis Bryant. Highest pick: 82nd overall. — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) January 10, 2016
Dirty play like Burfict pulled should result in immediate ejection as well as a league fine and suspension. It's the only way the play will get cleaner.
