Thanks, Tsyl! And I'll feel even better when I see him report for camp.

I'm only worried about Stanley...no news on him since November.

All of them! No, seriously...Chiefs, Steelers, Browns at a minimum. And congrats!

Yep and it never is an issue after that.

I agree with it being too early to throw in the towel. He's rehabbed through a lot of pain. Give him another chance.

lots of good reading provided by Mikey: https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/analysis/preston/bs-prem-sp-preston-ravens-offseason-things-to-watch-20210619-u7uhhq5kbve4xf3d64ijcjlgai-story.html

not worried about when Cleveland signs...some guys don't sign until just before camp starts in late July. Line does look good on paper but Max, you're right, it takes time for an offensive line to move in sync.

I predict they'll be on the list next time.

Some upside notes, for the most part, from Mikey: https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/analysis/preston/bs-prem-sp-ravens-preston-observations-june8-20210609-rqwh2x77njbqrppdl3bcglih2m-story.html

Yep, we're lucky to have him. Was it Billick or him they offered the head coaching job to second after they were turned down by Jason Garrett who went to the Cowboys?

If they can get some edge pressure on passers they have a great shot to win it all.

Agree all the way. I don't know who's going to be putting relentless pressure on qbs. I don't see a player here. The rest of the defense is really good.

That's good news for Lamar and many others.

Lamar looks buffed up real well.

Cool!

Thanks for posting that, Max. Every year I try to find those dates and it was nice to come here and see them posted.

You know you've had a really crappy passing offense when settling for mediocrity is a definite plus. Now is the problem the receivers, schemes, or Lamar?

This was a 'must do' action by the Ravens. If Stanley comes back healthy, the line will be plenty good enough now with a lot of potential.

No Center or OT drafted or signed in FA. The line doesn't look good to me. And they really didn't address with any certainty the edge rusher and DL depth they need. We rolled the dice on the first two picks. They can either show that they can play right away or kiss them goodbye. My grade for the Ravens draft is a C-. I sure hope I'm wrong but this draft left me feeling empty.

Yay! Me too.

All these mock drafts are fun but nearly all turn out wrong. The Ravens will take the best player available unless there's a need 'best' within 2-3 spots. Who it will be at this point is anybody's guess and I yield to Decosta and crew who have access to much more data than me. As usual though, whatever the Ravens do should be entertaining whether they move up or back or neither with either first round pick.

Maybe, but realistically speaking, how much more? TBH, I would've rather had Brown than Stanley but Stanley's contract kills that idea.

I like the trade...gives them 2 first rounders and they can use them to trade up or back along with the other ammo. Probably trade the 31st into the 2nd for a pick there and maybe get another 3rd. I wouldn't draft an OT in the first round.

Another thing is that if you trade down and out, your first pick won't have that fifth option year on his rookie contract.
