Ima just say it and I don’t see it talked about ever and it’s been in the back of my mind…

I don’t entirely trust rosengarten, like I worry he might be ass and it just hasn’t been confirmed yet

He had a really good rookie year. Sophomore slump. Warhop is out and we've got a great teacher in Ledford. Ioane probably next to him. I think he's primed for a rebound.
 
Okay.. to my jersey # freaks..

Predict his jersey number.. (71 is already taken)

- 69 (my favorite)

- 77 (does he dare do it?)

- 71 (punks Vinson for it)

I really hope so, all of those are very real factors. Still got concerns about his anchor and I just can’t shake that one
 
This might not make sense. But I feel just as calm and excited about Vega as I did with the Linderbaum selection. Different player and position, but vibes just feel the same. I can sleep well.

Everyone gave linderbaum slack for dealing with falala but no benefit to Rodger last year. He will rebound with trusting the inside. I can see them balancing the right side well. Power and technique combo
 
Smart pick, Vega is a beast.
What a shame we lost Tyler, could have been a really solid core for many years. Maybe they find a sleeper at center in the later rounds.
 
I love this pick. I've been wanting the Ravens to properly invest in the interior forever.

The biggest thing that has fucked us in the playoffs throughout Lamar's career - even more than the lack of sacks & turnovers from the defense - has been the interior line getting dominated whenever they came up against the elite, playoff-calibre D lines. We haven't been able to get the run game going and we haven't been able to protect Lamar. Even when we had Yanda, the guys next to him were losing badly.

I don't care about positional value. If he's good, pay him at the top of the Guard market and re-sign him early and the 5th year/tag won't matter.

I just want to see someone who can hold up in the post season.

Ever since our 2024 loss to the eagles I’ve been all in on building the OL, that game really stuck with me and it seems like the pass protection has been on a spiral since then
