A couple of connections yeah. I used to play hockey against him when we were younger. And a guy from my hometown went to UVA with him, so when they were home in-between his FR year (Urban was a JR) he came down to visit here so we got talking about the Ravens and stuff. So I've talked to him a few times on IG. Nothing crazy and not the kind of guy I could pick up the phone, but chatted a few times.

I'm not trying to name drop. I've messaged him 3 times, I just looked at it. So it's really not that big of a connection lol.

But there's no reports on him right now and he's a pretty decent player, so I'm not sure what it is. Could be his injury history / he's nothing more than an average starter IMO

yep - average starter. My guess is, post draft signing because this draft is crazy good on the DL.

Yup.

I imagine he’ll be in demand post-draft depending on what teams miss out on their targets in the front seven.

If he (Urban) comes back on the cheap, then I'm interested. Apparently there isn't a great deal of interest from other teams for this average/replaceable player... Bc

Urban finally is healthy and he gets jus half a sack for a season. It’s very difficult to get teams interested if you play defensive line and can’t get to the QB at all. If Urban had 3 sacks he’d be signed.

I agree.

It's funny because we all thoguht he was more of a pass rushing 5-tech, but he looks like the run stopping guy.

For a 5-tech it lowers the value wya more.

I remember in the preaseason in '17 he was swatting down balls like Karch Kiraly. (here, I'll save you the trouble:

He only has five career PDs. He was never able to translate that to games I guess, but I thought it would be a big weapon with his wingspan, even if he wasn't able to get to the QB.

ummmm.... no on three counts.

1) Urban is the guy considered an average starter
2) Considering Brown an average starter is pessimistic but not laughable
3) Mosley has more talent
