Re: Our first round pick in 2014
You make a very good point about Nicks. He's only 26, and although he's had two "off" years in a row, he's still young enough to (hopefully) recapture his 2010/2011 productivity. If Ozzie sees him as RPRP, then perhaps the Ravens will look elsewhere (other than WR) in round 1... Bc

Hard to trust nicks. He has a ring. Has some $. Injuries+ will power are big concerns for me.

Re: Our first round pick in 2014
agree...I had a pretty nasty hamstring injury in High school, did the whole PT thing twice... Never could sprint FULL OUT again without re-injuring it. Now I dont have a NFL training team, but hamstrings can be a constant lingering issue. NYG receivers just don't play well outisde of NY. Mario manningham was a bust for SF... Nicks is done.

Re: Our first round pick in 2014
Kiper has us taking Ebron at 16 or 17 if he is there. He could go earlier. If so he likes Lee or Evans.

Kiper has us taking Ebron of UNC in first round.

And ESPN’s draft guru Mel Kiper has a few names in mind that the Ravens may target with this year’s first-round pick.
“If [tight end] Eric Ebron from North Carolina is there, he’s a heck of a pick,” Kiper said Thursday during a national conference call. “They need a tight end desperately added to this team.”
Kiper has the Ravens taking Ebron in his latest mock draft. The Ravens have either the No. 16 or 17 pick, and the exact pick will be determined at the combine later this month after a coin flip with the Dallas Cowboys.
Ebron, 6-foot-4, 231 pounds, was a highly productive player during his three years at North Carolina. He racked up 62 catches for 973 yards and three touchdowns last season.
He brings a good mix of size and speed, and he would give the Ravens a talented pass catcher to work the middle of the field. Bringing in a new tight end is a priority this offseason, especially with Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson both unrestricted free agents.
“Ed Dickson moves on, they’ve got Pitta, but Ebron to me is a guy who could really help Joe Flacco and be a viable pick at that point,” Kiper said.

Ebron has generated some buzz as a potential top-15 pick, and Kiper said that Ravens may not get a chance to take him if they stay at their current pick.
“If he goes earlier, then maybe you look at Marquise Lee, a wide receiver from USC, or Mike Evans, a wide receiver from Texas A&M,” Kiper said.

Ebron certainly would add to the offense's ability to go down the field, that's for sure.

Re: Our first round pick in 2014
I would like the Ravens to go OL with the first pick. Seems to me they could get a WR in Rd 2 that is comparable to who they could get in round 1.

Morgan Moses. Trade down if need be, but that is the man.

Re: Our first round pick in 2014
We have seen schemes, bunched WR running a very borderline pick play or a funky crossing to get someone open for a split second.
Problem was we also needed people to catch fastballs that could quickly get to a not necessarily a small window but a fleeting window, and we had 2 TE who needed soft lobs to catch .....
Positioning is a good skill to have, hands like a vise (Boldin) is great, contesting every ball is great but I really want to see someone that when the ball hits his hands, it sticks at every speed.at one point of my life I was exactly Pi years old
