This.
The funny thing is, Judon is a second tier guy too, but he's about to get paid like a top-tier edge. If we pay him like he's "the man," we won't have enough money left to get the other guy, and we'll be right back where we were this year, but with less cap room.
Last time I checked the rules of poker, 2 kings beats 1 ace. We shouldn't overpay Judon under any circumstances.

Re: 2020 Off-Season Thread: News & Rumors
I don't see the Ravens going for a splash WR. You already have Andrews, Hurst, Hollywood and Snead. I think they expect a lot out of Boykin off season and next season. I would target someone in the draft and see if they can push guys like Scott for spots on the depth chart.

Zero interest in signing a WR.
All FA dollars should go into the DL. This DL class is very deep. The WR drat class is very deep.
Capitalize on the value.
Top needs:
IDL - Best to get a FA to be a penetrating 1T who can get after the passer (Hargraves) or a 3T who can slide Williams over to the 1T (McCoy).
ILB - No FA's that fit. Gotta go draft.
EDGE - Probably 1 FA and draft a guy too. Who you draft would depend on where they put their FA dollars.
WR - Draft 100%
IOL - Draft 100%
So basically:
DL = FA
Everything else = draft
Address the DL in FA and you have a lot more flexibility to go BPA in the draft. Obviously double ups will happen (i.e. we could sign 1 DT and draft 1 DT, same with EDGE)"Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Re: 2020 Off-Season Thread: News & Rumors
Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

I really like Littleton from the Rams, but he's going to be way too expensive.

Re: 2020 Off-Season Thread: News & Rumors
It is going to be very hard to get iDL pass rushing capability in FA. Campbell is 33 and still wants to be paid. I like McCoy less after a year in Carolina, and will he want to move his family again after one year?
The Draft is tight too - Derrick Brown will be gone and we would have to move up at unpleasant cost to get Javon Kinlaw. The only other pass rushing DTs of quality I can see so far are Ross Blacklock, who is #18 on Daniel Jeremiah's Big Board and Neville Gallimore, who proably will go early in the 2nd round.
It is much easier to get quality Edge/OLB in FA or trade (Kerrigan) than iDL. For this reason, Blacklock is looking very good to me."Flacco is driving the ball in that wind....."

Re: 2020 Off-Season Thread: News & Rumors
I think he is...he's well thought of around the league. Pro Bowls aren't everything of course, but Littleton made one last year and was second team all pro. Peanut has struggled to even be a full time starter.
Peanut has no idea what he's doing half the time if he's not blitzing. I have an extremely low opinion of Peanut's game unless he's just a situational guy.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story.
