RavenousBG

I will side with Ozzie and his results. I understand you guys questions. I thought for sure that we'd draft an OT but when we didn't, I assumed that they were good with it. It's reported that Hurst was a projected 3rd or 4th rounder before injury. So that's the competition. It's not as if we haven't succeeded when we seemingly had a hole before. I think it's going to work out. I could be wrong. Last yr I thought we would be division winners.

Sounds good! I LIKE HIS ATTITUDE!!!

I think so.

If we were going to bring in a jerry Rice family member, I would've preferred the cousin Jordan Matthews. But I have to agree with Steel on this, pub stunt. It doesn't hurt us any but a pub stunt nonetheless. Maybe he'll drink the magic Rice formula like in a Disney movie. Grow to 6'3" and sprout his dad's skills.

Cravn, my bad

If we move up,it's going to cost us. I think they drafted their way. The ravens don't like to draft for need and miss out on what they perceive as a better player. They felt CJ was top ten. Gotta take him. Had you been in charge Craven, you would've taken Benjamin and if you had Ozzie's track record and two Super Bowls as GM, I would be behind it. But as I said, everyone won't agree

I agree. Here's a question, what about Furstenburg? Had speed from what I remember

3 receiver sets will be Torrey and Jacoby outside and Steve in the slot. I think they will look at Marlon on the outside more than last yr. I think they will take a long look at Mellette and try. Thompson outside because he doesn't seem to have the route discipline for the slot. Campanaro is destined for slot duty but he'll need to flash quickly.

I believe in this draft. I had dreams of Ha Ha in Purple. I also thought we would get a wideout early or west. Once Martin was gone, I wasn't pressed about OT because didn't think there were any plug and play guys left. I think the first 3 picks were guys who could be very good value and play a lot early. The one that was odd to me was the TE. I think they were sure they were getting west and just couldn't find anyone they valued at that spot

We need to stop caring about what they do. His life. I would prefer bedroom stuff stay there. This stuff energizes the gay community. That's fine. It will fade when we all stop paying attention and just worry about his play. There's nothing for anyone to rail against or rally behind if the majority lets them go about their business and don't make it a conversation.

In glossing over this board and some other groups I'm part of I come to one conclusion. Not everyone could be satisfied no matter who we drafted. It would've taken 14 picks, 2 in each round to satisfy a majority. Fact is, it's not your draft. It's theirs and they'll pick how they want, not how we want. Look you can criticize and disagree. It's our right. But in the end, don't get too bent. Don't complain so long that you can't appreciate what we have in Bmore. We had a playoff less season. Not usual in Bmore lately. But the bottom didn't fall out and this draft can't be proven a failure that will sink us until we see it happen. They won't always pick the players you want them to. Just the way it is.

You got that right Tornado. Defense is the Raven way.

Ha Ha and Pryor were the name guys. But the Ravens felt like Mosely was a top ten pick, falling to them at 17 was a windfall in their eyes. Then Terence Smith was a 2nd round rated player and the fastest Free Safety in this draft plus he's a former corner and has cover skills.

Say that if you like. But if you find out different and I believe you will, just jump on and enjoy the ride. Our guys do this and we are fans. I think they know better and believe In them. We like the names we know. They know all their secrets and why they're risks

I didn't want Stevie T-shirt Johnson

As far as what we drafted, let's see them on the field before we write them off. Alls forgiven if we are winnin'

I'm ok with it. It was BPA and you got it right, other teams left good defenders on the board for chasing all the offensive talent. The Best Players Available became defenders. We didn't reach for guys and let's face it, all of these wide outs won't make it in this league for one reason or another. There will be some studs but plenty of duds. I think we did want West but it may have been best not to get him. The pressure to succeed at home may have been too much. Lastly, after Martin, I'm not sure there was a RT better than we already have or could sign later (Winston). The Oline was horrible last yr but with a different center (Zutta), healthy KO, and a simplified Zone scheme , we should be better. Now I valued Oher but he had a bad yr so Wagner may have a better one than he did last yr. We will see how it goes but I'm good with it. We don't really do it flashy in Bmore. I trust Ozzie and crew. We are solidified on D for the future. We will be younger but experienced over the next few yrs. We will hit the offense more next yr and I expect to see Mellette make us feel okay about not drafting a WR in the first 3 rounds.

I'm ok with it. Means they didn't value the FS that were available. The one they want is still out there. All the Tackles they valued at 17 were gone. So without a trade down partner, the best on the board was Mosely. I'm good with it

So Ha Ha or Calvin? I got Ha Ha if we go Safety. Or RT and go with Zack

One of the safeties is going to be there.

Surprises abound! Manziel is falling
