Eric DeCosta Appreciation Thread

**GreatWhiteNorthRaven** · 11-17-2019, 09:14 PM

He has had one hell of a first season.

- Trading for Peters who has been phenomenal.
- Wasting no time when the young guys weren't playing well and adding Fort and Bynes on vet deals.
- Pierce goes down adn our run D got gashed so he added Peko and Ellis who both played well today.

The draft was also really solid. Boykin has time, but Brown is making plays as a rookie which is great. Ferguson had a great game today and made plays. Powers is a future guy.

All of that without his second round pick.

I'd say that's a hell of a first season and a sign of good things to come for the franchise.

When people are yelling MVP during the game I’m thinking I’d DeCosta

Well deserved thread. I have a feeling he will tinker with the bottom of the roster depending on schedule more than we are used to

DeCosta signed defensive players off the scrap heap who have become real contributors. He's also not afraid to cut guys who aren't doing what they are here to do. You gotta to love the willingness to take chances.

Yes, and it looks to me like his 3rd round pick (Jaylon Ferguson) is starting to come around. Perhaps slowly, but surely... Bc

Plus he turned Vedvik into a 5th rounder and guy isnt even in the league anymore. Decosta has been amazing. Only misstep seemed to be not nabbing a pass rusher but he was able to instead strengthen the secondary. I had my reservations about him but he has been fantastic. I love that he doesn't ever seem satisfied and is always looking to get better

Love what Decosta is doing but lets not ignore what is beginning to look like a great final draft from the wizard himself

Only slowly to the unrealistic. The kid is a rookie and he's absolutely on schedule. Ferguson was my favorite Ravens pick during the draft and I'm still happy to have him

Done.

Only move I wasn't a fan of this entire offseason was bringing in a vet to compete at ILB but he recovered very quickly with in season pickups and that Peters trade was terrific.

Getting draft picks for London and Alex Lewis was awesome as well.
