GOTA says Ronnie's play'n its a done deal now pitter patter

I have no insight other than the fact that Ronnie Stanley was the best LT in the NFL the season before he was hurt. If you check out Pro Football Reference he had 17 AV for that season. He was 1st Team All Pro. The ceiling is there. Stanley when healthy has the ability to be at top of the league at Left Tackle.

It's been about 20 months and 2 surgeries for Stanley since his injury. Unlike last year he says he's feels great. Harbaugh quote was "I expect him to play like Ronnie Stanley". It may take a little while to get him back into football shape but once he does Stanley has the potential to be the best in the NFL. If that's the case he should be on a top 5 list because even something a little lower would get you there like it does for Andrews, Lamar and Humphrey

I'm imposing my own rules of not including guys who aren't playing right now and not basing it on projection - they have to have proven themselves to be top 5 already.

Given that, I think its an easy selection of:

Lamar, Tucker, Andrews, Humphrey, and Williams.

Calais is great, but has clearly lost a little off his fastball. Zeitler is probably closer than we give him credit for.

I think the conversation gets much more interesting with a return to health for Stanley and Peters (I don't think Dobbins cracks the top 5 even if fully healthy) plus the expected year 2 growth of Bateman and Oweh, or a possible rookie breakout from Linderbaum (Or hamilton, ojabo, jones...)

if Stanley is back and anywhere near 85%+ this will be a top 5 offense

I agree completely. With a strong & capable Stanley (and a healthy JK!), this could be as explosive an offense as 2019.

I also think that's more interesting, so here's a list based on projection:

Bateman
Odafe Oweh
JK Dobbins
Proche
Linderbaum

As it stands IMO

1. Lamar Jackson
2. Mark Andrews
3. Ronnie Stanley
4. Marlon Humphrey
5. Marcus Williams

**PGCountyRaven85** · 08-09-2022, 03:34 PM

Tucker
Jackson
Andrews
Humphrey
Williams (Marcus)

All these players are top 5-10 at their positions

I went by a rating system based on where they rank at their position, which why I'm the only one to include Zeitler on my list.

But if you went by the order other teams would draft a disbanded Ravens team, your list is probably right. Other than maybe Stanley until we see how he plays.

Don’t know how anyone has a list without Tucker. He’s our best player all things considered.

1. Tucker
2. Lamar
3. Andrews
4. Humphrey
5. This could be a handful of people but I’ll go with…. Williams

Again, it's how you define your rating system.

Tucker is our best player based on where he ranks at his position.

But if instead you take the perspective of every other team in the league had a chance to steal a Ravens player, there no way Tucker is the first player taken ahead of Andrews and Jackson, minimally. I don't care how good he is, taking Tucker first is akin to drafting a kicker in the first round of the college draft. I'm not sure he would even be in the top five players stolen off their roster, even though he's the best at his position by a mile.
