The whole identity of the offense will be affected.  Kelce is a future HOF center, and Lane Johnson is an All-Pro RT.  With Seumalo gone that's the entire right side of the OL that will look completely different.  We will see how Jurgens does at center, but the starting RG and RT in 2025 might not be on the roster right now.

Lane is a future HOF as well.

If Stetson Bennett wasn’t 25 , he would be getting more hype , little taller than expected… and he had a nice combine during drills

He's also a d-bag.

My annual perusal of the top 15 RB prospects in the draft and buying into the RBBC philosophy and going after the 2nd tier prospects I liked 4 guys Tyjae Spears, Sean Tucker, Eric Gray and maybe my favorite Kendre Miller. All suppose to be 3rd round or later and all enjoyable to watch. Just sayin

 

 

LOVE Kendre Miller. The mid-rounds for RB this year are stacked, which is why anyone saying R1/2 RB this year is dumb. Besides the guys you mentioned I also really like DeWayne McBride, Chase Brown, and Roschon Johnson.

What one player (non first rounder) do you really hope ends up on our team?  I'd like for us to get Captain Jack Campbell and put him alongside Dean.

Kendre Miller, RB TCU

Miller has excellent contact balance; breaks lots of tackles and even when tackled gets the extra 2-3 yards on the way to the ground.

He's the logical and cheaper alternative to the folks wanting Kareem Hunt.

Trading down to target a player seems like such a bad idea because you don't know who might be interested in taking that player or then trading up ahead of you to take that player.  

Better for the Eagles this year.  Every team is in a unique situation.  Our infamous Marcus Smith draft, I believe, was pre-FA.  That was when they drafted for need across the board because they didn't know what would happen with FA.

This year, Howie probably already knows exactly who is and isn't sticking around already.  So it would be kind of nice to have the draft about right now.

 

 

Gonzalez - CB2

Smith - Rotates right in with Davis/Milton

Adebawore - ridiculous athlete

Dell - slot extraordinaire

Hodges - Slot, takes over for Maddox who replaces CJGJ if he walks

Skinner - Epps replacement

McBride - true bell cow, pairs well with Gainwell

Mafi - has potential, Stout will love him

Cunningham - grooming a backup

I'm pretty sure the Ravens have been preparing for this inevitability for a few months now.

Wow, Chi signs Lamar, trades Justin for a first+, then trades 1 overall for many firsts. What a coup that’d be 

Edit: looks like that guy puts up bogus rumors all the time

Would Lamar sign the tag? I don't think there's a team that will give him over 230 million guaranteed. Just because Browns were stupid enough to do it doesn't mean it'll end up being the norm

Huge Depending factor is which franchise tag he gets. If it’s nonexclusive, he can hit the FA market and negotiate with everyone, then sign for the best he can get. If it’s exclusive, good chance he’s just stuck in Baltimore on the franchise as any suitors have to approach the ravens with his demands

I like Charbonnet a lot more. Stronger, quicker, more explosive and faster. Similar in terms of vision, but gets n/s and hits the hole with more authority

He wouldn’t need to sign the nonexclusive tag?

Only if he wants to play for Baltimore

Someone got a combine deal

What I'd like out of this draft, based on the talent distribution:

1. Elite CB prospect without flaws, specifically a coverage guy.

2. Hyper athletic DL.  OK to be a bit raw, could be edge, could be DT.

3. High upside mold of clay for Stoutland.

4. Highly elusive RB that can be used in screens and passing game.

 

Get those 4 things and the draft is a huge success.

Bonus options, but better be high value:

1. Safety who excels in coverage.

2. Do it all RB.

3. Another CB prospect who projects well in coverage.

Right, Once he signs it he’s a raven and stuck. But While he’s tagged and doesn’t sign it, he can negotiate with other teams while under Ravens "rights” and then they have to give Baltimore 2 first round picks if BR doesn’t match

We usually see the exclusive tag that doesn’t allow this, but Baltimore may do nonexclusive to prove to him no one will give him fully guaranteed

and players have until July 15 to sign the tag -- although I don't think they're forced to at any point.

I got most of that covered. Was literally just coming to show off my CB double dip I just did.

They can sign the tag at any point before week 10(?) to get a full season’s credit toward the next tag, Vincent Jackson once waited until midseason to sign his chargers tag
 

but July 17th (different this year for some reason) is the longterm extension deadline. I think that’s the same deadline for other teams to poach nonexclusive guys too.

 You ain't getting Kancey at 62, or Banks at 30 anymore.

Yeah. 

I really dont understand Brown being so late either.

These websites suck. I cant help it.

Need TDN to get their act together. They have the only good simulator.

I’ve been on the Miller wagon since December and the Spears wagon since he ripped up USC in the Bowl game.  I don’t know anything about Gray
