cravnravn Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Don't know if that's good are bad? Do we still draft one?http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=12000587&src=desktop&rand=ref~%7B"ref"%3A"https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F"%7D&ex_cid=espnapi_internal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Absolutely we draft one or acquire via FA. We need a Julius Thomas or Jummy Graham type, a game changer (which Pitta is not even at 100 %). Imagine that on Joe's receiving corps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 What I meant to say is do we draft one in the first round, caus that's where you're playmaker te is usually found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It depends on the value of the TE at the spot. But they have to draft one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 What I meant to say is do we draft one in the first round, caus that's where you're playmaker te is usually found. Pending some under classmne coming out, the tight end position is not extremely deep, the wide receiver position is however. Deep, I meaning the Ravens have to take one in round 1 or 2 for a receiver to be talented enough to make a difference year one, as many have done this year, the start of a trend. Tight ends, rarely go in the first, but the Ravens should be able to get an agile, athletic, large catch radious big handed tight end in the 3rd at the latest, maybe the early fourth but doubful. The question is, we see they need one of each, but do they? So far, in their history, the answer is no, with the exception of Heap and he who shall not be named from Fla, the super star from training camps past.

papasmurfbell Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Also TE's rarely have a big effect yr 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robjr83 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I see Oz drafting a CB/FS with the first pick. Too many glaring problems in the secondary to not address that first. If a mid first WR/TE prospect falls to us in the mid 20's then go ahead and take. I just don't see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Well it's worked for the most part so far...no matter what we need the first few picks will definitely by BPA as always. Drives me crazy sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenMad Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I would rather chase an athletically gifted but somewhat raw at the position TE in the later rounds. Graham was a 3rd round pick and had only played 1 year of football after converting from basketball. Antonio Gates was undrafted basketball convert. The guy Cleveland has was an athletic monster that didn't play much college ball. We can take a risk on someone like that because we have Pitta/Daniels/Crock.

varaven45 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Ravenmad, I like your idea. We need a beast TE- a game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado700 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I like Pitta alot. But I'm very worried that he has a fragile hip and these injuries are PAINFUL, I have heard. I"m afraid that he may be done as a professional football player and I'm saddened by it. Class act all the way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Who thinks he will be getting an artificial hip after his FB days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 The Ravens say this injury had nothing to do with the first one and has no indication of it happening again. I find that hard to believe from a common sense stand point that the second injury was a pure coincidence. A normal man doesn't fall untouched like that and dislocate and fracture his hip. I wonder what they aren't telling us here or what type of liability waiver Pitta will have to sign... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
