    Ok, here it is....my official projected 2013 roster

    Don't beat me up too much over this :)

    I typically do this within 10 days of our season ending. This is the 4th year I've done this and typically I get about 38-40 of the 53 right and usually get 1-2 of the rookies right. This year is going to be brutal because we have so many uncertainties with free agents/cuts and also have 11 rookies.


    *= starter

    1) QB Joe Flacco*-6th year- Delaware
    2) QB Tyrod Taylor-3- Virginia Tech
    3) RB Ray Rice*- 6- Rutgers
    4) RB Bernard Pierce- 2- Temple
    5) RB Anthony Allen-3- Georgia Tech
    6) TE Dennis Pitta*- 4- BYU
    7) TE Ed Dickson- 4- Oregon
    8) TE Michael Williams- R- Alabama (4th round pick)
    9) WR Anquan Boldin*- 11- Florida State
    10) WR Torrey Smith*- 3- Maryland
    11) WR Jacoby Jones- 7- Lane
    12) WR Tandon Doss- 3- Indiana
    13) WR Deonte Thompson- 2- Florida
    14) WR Tommy Streeter- 2- Miami
    15) LT Bryant McKininie*- 12- Miami
    16) LG Kelechi Osemele*- 2- Iowa St
    17) C Gino Gradkowski*- 2- Delaware
    18) RG Marshal Yanda*- 7- Iowa
    19) RT Michael Oher*- 5- Ole Miss
    20) G/T Jah Reid- 3- Central Florida
    21)LT/RT Ricky Wagner- R- Wisconsin (3rd round pick)
    22)G/C Joe Madsen- R- West Virginia (6th round supp pick)
    23)G Chad Rinehart- 5- Northern Iowa (FA Buffalo)

    24)S Morgan Cox- 4- East Tennessee St
    25)K Justin Tucker- 2- Texas
    26)P Sam Koch- 8- Nebraska

    27) DT Haloti Ngata*- 8- Oregon
    28) DT Terrence Cody*-4- Alabama
    29) DT DeAngelo Tyson-2- Georgia
    30) DT Bryan Hall- 3- Arkansas St
    31) DT Larry Black Jr- R- Indiana (6th round pick)
    32) DT/DE Arthur Jones*- 4- Syracuse

    34) DE Joe Kruger- R- Utah (5th round supp pick)
    35) OLB Terrell Suggs*- 11- Arizona St
    36) OLB Courtney Upshaw*- 2- Alabama
    37) MLB Dannell Ellerbe*- 5- Georgia
    38) MLB Kevin Minter*- R- LSU (1st round pick)
    39) OLB DeAndre Levy- 5- Wisconsin (FA Detroit)
    40) OLB Michael McAdoo- 3- North Carolina
    41) MLB Albert McClellan- 4- Franklin & Marshall
    42) MLB Josh Bynes- 3- Auburn
    43) LB Brendon Ayanbadejo- 15- UCLA
    44) CB Lardarius Webb*- 5- Nicholls St
    45) CB Jimmy Smith*- 3- Colorado
    46) CB Corey Graham-7- New Hampshire
    47) CB Chykie Brown- 3- Texas
    48) CB Tyrann Matthieu- R- LSU (3rd round supp pick)
    49) CB Asa Jackson- 2- Cal Poly
    50) S Bernard Pollard*- 8- Purdue
    51) S Baccari Rambo*- R- Georgia (2nd round pick)
    52) S James Ighedibo- 7- UMass
    53) S Christian Thompson- 2- South Carolina St


    IR- Kenny Tate- OLB/S- Maryland (7th round Supp pick), G James Walker- R- Florida (7th round pick)

    Last five guys off the roster- Omar Brown, LaQuan Williams, Bobby Rainey, Anthony Levine, Adrian Hamilton, Nigel Carr (all PS eligible) Emanuel Cook Some of those guys might be IRed

    Cut- Bobbie Williams, Jameel McClain, Vonta Leach

    Retired: Matt Birk

    Non-tendered moving on to another team: David Reed, Ramon Harewood

    Non-tendered, staying with Ravens on minimum contract: Emanuel Cook (cut anyways)

    Re-signed: Ighedibo, Ellerbe, McKinnie

    Significant FAs signing elsewhere: Ed Reed, Cary Williams, Paul Kruger

    New FA signings: DeAndre Levy, OLB, Detroit (if Levy isn't acquired, my 2nd choice would be Erin Henderson) and Chad Rinehart, OG Buffalo


    Ok...thoughts?

    What is this I don't even... this would be a major head-scratcher of an offseason. None of those FA moves make sense. Chad Rinehart is going to get a starter's contract somewhere that we can't afford (he's been excellent for the Bills over the last few years). The Ravens are not going to pay him to be a backup guard. DeAndre Levy is at least a borderline starter on a 4-3 team but he's a terrible fit for the 3-4, unless I'm way off base here there's no way the Ravens are interested in him.

    Ricky Wagner is not worth trading up for in the 3rd; he's more like a 5th round pick at this point and he can't play LT in the NFL. Tyrann Mathieu in the 3rd would be insanity, too... he'll be lucky to be drafted at all, much less on the 2nd day. Michael Williams in the 4th is a reach, I'm actually wondering if he gets drafted at all (he didn't even get a Combine invite so I wonder if the NFL is way lower on him than a lot of people in the draft community.)

    I also think hoping for a 3rd round comp pick is way too optimistic. 3rd rounders are very, very rarely awarded. I think more like a 4th, two 5th's, and a 6th or 7th is more likely. All in all, while your effort to put this together is commendable and it's clearly well-reasoned, I would personally disagree with just about every personnel move the Ravens make in that projection.

    Maybe, but we still have the combine to go...A good/bad combine can make/break some of these. If Matthieu has a great combine, he could work his way up the boards again. Te'o needs to have a great combine to re-establish his stock as well.

    Don't forget, we pick last in every round, so our 4th is basically a 5th, and so on. I don't see Williams with 4th comp pick being terrible value. In fact, i did a "mock" with him exactly there this morning.
    Tyrann Mathieu will be drafted for sure. He was thought of by some as a better player then Morris Claiborne before the draft last year. He could certainly fall to day 3, but that's as far as he will fall. In my "mock" I had him with Williams as our two comp 4ths.

    I'm pretty sure that AdamJT guy projected us to have 2 4ths, a 5th and a 6th. He's usually damn close. I can't remember if it was here or scout that I saw his predictions about a week ago.

    And I disagree with most everything contained in yours. I've not seen a single mock draft where Wagner was still on the board by the 4th round. Most of the people I've seen grading him say he has very surprising athleticism and can quite possibly play LT at a good level in the NFL. That's why we have to trade up to get him.

    Likewise, every draft I've seen but one has Matthieu off the board by the end of round 4.


    You talk about Rinehart being excellent, yet, he's only started 21 games in 4 years in Buffalo and only played two games last year due to injury. He might get very low-end starter money, which we can afford.

    Levy is a perfect for the Ravens. He can play inside or outside. Sizzle and Upshaw are likely going to be 3 down players next year, so Levy wouldn't be seeing the field on running downs anyways. He's very good in pass coverage and could definitely have value covering TEs in that area. He's not a pass rusher, but he can fill in for any of our 4 starting LBs in pass coverage.

    Lastly, Michael Williams would be the last pick in the 4th round excluding supplemental picks (that's somewhere in the 125 range, which is about right for him, perhaps a tad high) I actually graded him as a mid-5th rounder, but I think taking him in the 4th is a smart move rather than risking him going elsewhere. Williams fills multiple needs, so I definitely want him, even if we have to reach a round or 1/2 round to get him.

    Nice fantasy thread, Btw NO WAY TATE lasts til the 7th round. He is the perfect coverage ILB and S combo and a great athelete. His position is where the NFL is headed. The new NFL is headed to the hybrid S/LB and the cover Safety instead of the hard hitting 220LB (lower the boom Safety) You will see many quality CB's that come in a notch slower than the ideal CB moved to S. That's the trend upcoming. Ray Lewis and many other have commented on this change in defensive philosophy. Defenses are headed to girth up the middle on the line, always quick twitch edge rushers and SPEED at LB and S and Speed and Length at CB.

    I think the Ravens are going to keep Reed.

    BA, Ihedigbo/Omar would be the spots I'd look at first. We've gone with 5 safeties before, but I think Asa Jackson could play S in a pinch? (Not sure why I think that). I'm torn who to cut though, Ihedigbo is a stalwart vet, and actually slowed down Ginn on the winning punt of the SB, but Omar Brown could be a real force, Ed Reed sung his praises REAL highly.
