Re: Another 2011 Style Purge is Needed
Thanks for the info, I was thinking that could be the case. And I agree completely on the McGahee trade. GOTA and I were two of the few back on the old sun boards who didn't like that trade from day 1.

Re: Another 2011 Style Purge is Needed
If the 2012 draft were redone today, 5'11'', 205lb Russell Wilson goes #8 to Miami. If Manziel continues to develop his skills and continues to dominate over the next two/three years, I see no reason to think he won't be a top 15 pick. The idea that a QB has to be 6'5'' to be successful has gone out the window these days with guys like Wilson, Brees, Griffin, etc.

Re: Another 2011 Style Purge is Needed
Russell Wilson was, and is, a much more accomplished passer than Johnny Football.
I hear you, but it isn't like NFL scouts were not aware of what Russell Wilson was able to do. That still didn't stop teams from passing on him 3 times over.
And I can pretty much guarantee you that the Dolphins would STILL take Tannehill at #8. Not Wilson. The Dolphins hired Mike Sherman for a reason...they were targeting Tannehill (who played for Sherman at Texas A&M) all along.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Another 2011 Style Purge is Needed
I think this "purge" has been in the making for a while. I think we will see a fundamental shift in the Ravens.
From a player perspective, key veterans on both sides - Birk and Boldin and Lewis and Reed - are most likely going to depart. That means new leadership will have to take over on the OL, the WR corps, the LB corps, and the secondary. This is going to go from being their team to being Ray Rice and Torrey Smith and Terrell Suggs and Lardarius Webb's team. That's a huge identity change.
Firing Cameron was the seal on the deal. That's going to lead to maybe a whole new offensive coaching staff.
I expect Ozzie to actually trade up in the draft and try and grab a new cornerstone piece to usher in the next chapter. I really could see him trying to grab someone like Matni Te'o or Star Lotuleilei.

Re: Another 2011 Style Purge is Needed
Ozzie gotta do something he may need to change his philosophy this draft from BPA to needs, the reason Ozzie did BPA for so long was because we had such good talent and good depth for many years so BPA was the method, the Ravens have had needs before drafts but Ozzie would do his thing then bring in a FA that has some gas left in the tank to fill that need because he had some money to work around. This offseason won't be the case we actually HAVE needs to be filled and not enough money to make FA deals.
