The draft

[tsylvester]

He saw the writing on the wall. All of those big named receivers getting $100 mil contracts and knew in this system there was no way he could get that money.

He's not even sniffing that, whatever.

He may have some beef with Roman's schemes, but who doesn't.

I always said that AB hanging around would be an issue.  The FO might have seen it that way too.

Bit if he can put up 1200 yds and 10 TDs he could go from 12 mil for his bmore production to 16 mil for that kind.

True, however, he gained leverage with the trade. Essentially he was traded for the se value as Aj Brown. I would hate to be the Cardinals..  In his mind, with AB in his ear, $50 + mil guaranteed $100 mil is his starting point

Very likely if he stays healthy, Murray is a better deep ball passer and their system is far more passing concepts than that of the Ravens

exactly

Throw in the history they have together.  Could be a Burrow/Chase relationship in Az

[oldno82]

OK...who's going to take his space? Or is there another deal to come?

[GrubberRaven]

Digesting this a bit, Maybe Hollywood did us a favor.  He openly admitted to Lamar over the past two seasons he was not a fit for this system and went, silently, to management to ask for a trade after this season.  

He can be replaced.

Hmmm...I don't think replacing a 1000 yd receiver here will be easy given our past poor record of drafting good receivers. Think Dev or Proche can fill the need?

Yep, our first round pick from last year, if he can stay healthy, can pick up most of the slack.

Now, does Proche or Duv finally get a chance to shine and take the next step?

[papasmurfbell]

And Wallace.   I think between the 4 of them plus a draft pick wr will be fine.

[tsylvester]

Man, this has been the worst run draft of all time; for shame NFL..

Ravens pick...Crap, they pick crap Ojabo

[tsylvester]

2nd round draft picks being duds likely continues

Crushed it? Let's  see how well he heals from the torn Achilles, how long it takes him. Even then, he was not great holding the edge, a lot of his stats were because of the piss poor blocking teams he faced and who was on the other side.

The defensive tackle from Uconn is interesting, big quick guy. He might be a very good role player if he stays focused.

Still available today.......10 players the Ravens could target on a busy Day 3 of the 2022 NFL draft: ‘Our scouts will be jacked up’ – Baltimore Sun

Round 6: No. 196

7 more picks!

You're so positive. 

 

[tsylvester]

Trueth is not always positive... I give up on watching the draft, it's too horribly run...

[tsylvester]

Draft tracker, Daniel Faalele offensive tackle from Min, great pick.

As usual, they dip into Bama and get a cb who can't stay true to the scheme, who gets lost in coverage... Jalyn Armour Davis...

Below-average arm length. Only one year of playing experience. Misses tackles in open space because he does not break down his feet. Can do a better job of playing the ball in the air. Hips open too wide when changing directions. Gets a bit handsy downfield. One year of starting

 

 

[tsylvester]

Tight end Charlie Kolar, Iowa St

Lacks overall physicality to sustain blocks and high point the football. Consistent performer for the past three years. Needs to play with better balance, which limits his explosive opportunities after the catch

[tsylvester]

Jordan Stout, punter, PSU

Oy...

Tight end Isaiah Likely, CSTCAR

Slow into breaks. Small hand size. Would prefer him working up the seam rather than across the field. Frame is not going to hold up as a blocker

[tsylvester]

Damarian Williams cb Houston

Only 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, and while he covers ground from the free safety position, size and length are an issue. Because he's undersized, he isn't going to contest many balls at the catch point.
