Re: Calvin Ridley
why would we want Ravens to draft a WR? I mean history should teach us something otherwise we would repeat the same steps, looking at a predestined outcome.
we need a WR that can catch the ball, so get Landry and use early rounds for OL/TE and even a game changer to play by Mosley

Re: Calvin Ridley
I don't think that's a bad thing. Is it their biggest need on offense, no, but it's not like the position is set in stone. Everyone seems to think Dixon is going to be a good player but he's really done nothing at this level to show that, and I'm past the point of putting blind faith into offensive players on this roster. Buck is average and he's a FA after next year. They can definitely use another quality RB.

Re: Calvin Ridley
Not only is it not their biggest need on offense. I think it may be their least pressing need on offense, save for perhaps interior line (assuming they re-sign Jensen). As I go through the list--tackle, tight end, wide receiver, quarterback--the need for quality depth or future starters at all these positions far outweighs the need to upgrade Dixon, Woodhead and Allen as back ups to the starter.
That said, I do agree that if RB is the only blue chip player left on their board when pick 16 comes around, you can't change the order of the board. If it came to that, however, I'd rather see them, and in fact would expect them, to trade down and get an extra pick.

Re: Calvin Ridley
If you are looking at it as taking a "backup to the starter" then I understand that POV but I don't think Collins is/was good to the point you aren't looking for an upgrade if one happens to be there. I don't think the team has even committed to him as the starter next year. And really, I look at it as more of a co-starter. Like the Saints. That's the model I'd follow if we want to have success next year. Maybe Dixon is good enough to do that alongside Collins. I haven't seen it. Allen isn't. Woodhead may not even be on the team.
Trading down does nothing for me. I still have memories of them passing on Harrison Smith to trade down and get Upshaw and Gradkowski instead. My position is if there is an uber talented player there at the pick, F the position, F trading down, take him.back on twitter

Re: Calvin Ridley
Your post does make sense except you've left out one little thing : The $alary Cap.
With the Ravens cap as it stands, can we afford to sign Landry? I'm not a cap guru, but I don't think so... Bc
I wanted to have these two POVs on the same post. Yes Jazz, I agree with you 100%, especially if Coutland Sutton is available @ #16. A go-to WR can transform our offense quickly and in a big way. It's something the Ravens are in dire need of... BcLast edited by BcRaven; 01-12-2018 at 10:55 AM. Reason: added second post... Bc
