Re: Ravens Still Don't Get it it at WR
I mean, yes, ideally you want a high end player at every position. But if you want to argue that it’s smart to go all out and maybe trade up for a Wide Receiver, well I’d argue that ILB was a much bigger need totally bereft of playmakers, which theoretically would help the team more. Couple that with the fact that we didn’t have to package picks to move up for a guy like CeeDee and we also got an instant impact player in the form of Dobbins. We lost that playoff game because the Defense couldn’t stop the run, and Ingram got hurt. Would you really take Lamb over those 2 additions? I wouldn’t.

Re: Ravens Still Don't Get it it at WR
That's true, but I'm betting this post will be controversial. A lot of Ravens fans are always absurdly optimistic about our drafted players, until they aren't. I suppose that's just their sunny, positive natures at work.
(In saying this, I'm not saying Boykin won't improve, just that he's got a way to go. He might make it. He might not.)

Re: Ravens Still Don't Get it it at WR
SF is a weird choice. Yeah they gave up a mid-round pick for Sanders but they also let him walk after using him as a two month rental. And I love Sanders but he’s hardly the “Number One WR” you’re clamoring for. As they currently stand Hollywood>Aiyuk and every other WR on their team imo.
Can’t say the Bills weren’t aggressive but they’re also a hell of a lot more than a Stefon Diggs away from being actual contenders unless Allen takes like three steps forward and giving up five picks including a first for an expensive veteran who isn’t enough to put you over the top is a great way to slam your window shut much sooner than was necessary.

Some day you might respond to this lol

Re: Ravens Still Don't Get it it at WR
I agree with this completely. That said...
The notion that the Titans figured us out and shut down the offense is absurd and I cringe every time it’s blindly repeated. We had more than 500 yards of offense. We moved the ball against their defense with ease, but an interception that bounced off Mark Andrews’s hands in the red zone, a fumble, and a bunch of 4th down and short stuffs kept us from scoring.
Add like three total yards at choice spots, even out the weird bounces, and change nothing else, and we score like 30+ that game.
(I’m pretty sure we averaged a lot more than 21 ppg btw lol)

Re: Ravens Still Don't Get it it at WR
Deebo > Hollywood
Aiyuk > Snead
Kittle > Andrews
They have been far more aggressive than us making sure Jimmy G has enough weapons and also have a phenomenal running game and defense
Dude, they were down 14-6 at halftime and got the ball in the 2nd half against Tennessee, they had opportunity after opportunity to play from behind in the smallest sense of the phrase and they absolutely didn't have the juice to do it through the air against a good defense.

Oh yeah, Lamar had a shitty game as well.
