Same, I always liked woods and we passed on him twice and he's just always been a steady ass decent reliable receiver

Just once. He was in that awkward draft spot where he wasn't quite a first rounder, but too good to be a mid to late second. I never thought he'd make it to Baltimore, but I wanted him badly.

ahh I couldn't remember where he got drafted. He wa drafted in the second by buffalo though so clearly he wasn't in our range, didn't consider that lol

Pick 41, to be exact. It was right about where I'd expected him to go. Made missing out on Keenan Allen even worse.

And this year has become the primary option on the most dynamic offence in the league ahead of cooper kupp and Sammy Watkins - he’s not a number 1 receiver but with 2 other good receivers on their team he’s good enough to be the primary guy which is impressive to say the least

We need at least two of these next offseason.

Moore looks like he could be a #3 WR/deep threat though. But seriously, as bad as Maclin was last game he has another year on that contract of his. We'll likely keep him. Go get us an Allen Robinson in FA and then a Courtland Sutton type. We...need...firepower. And all three of them would compliment each other well as well.

RB? We are fine. A three headed rushing attack of Collins-Dixon-Woodhead is a scary proposition. Maybe take a scat back round five to inevitably compensate Woodhead for injury.

I would keep Mike Wallace all day over Jeremy Maclin. I don't see any reason to keep Maclin here at the moment.

No I would not lol.

Do Dixon and West have roster spots next season? I’m really liking this three man rotation of Collins, Buck and Woodhead. No need to change it unless someone gets injured.

Dixon, absolutely. Have we forgotten how much of a stud he was (I know you haven't)? West, nope tbh unless someone's hurt and has to miss multiple games.

siemian looked competent in 4 games this year - in all the rest he looked like the worst qb in football and thomas has had qb play of the lowest quality for most of this year (the first 3 games aside)...

and great wrs dont make plays whoever is playing qb - even antonio brown disappears sometimes when big ben isnt the qb... mike evans, aj green, ty hilton, dez bryant etc. all suffer when they dont have good qb play servicing them

the only wr in the league who consistently plays well no matter what level of qb play he gets is Deandre Hopkins...

Yes their numbers dip but not disappear. Sanders numbers hurt cuz of Simien but he has some good games. Thomas is a scrub. He lost a step or so. Looks very slow and never makes the dynamic catches like he did. Some players lose their speed b4 the average age. Some hold onto it longer. I do not want Thomas!! Robinson is younger faster and better. It could be true Simien is the worst QB but I don't buy that Thomas is elite but It's all Simiens fault he doesn't ever perform.

Thomas wasnt good even before he lost a step. Always had trouble with dropped passes! he was a decent wr at best imo! Robinson is a stud though! idk how well he will play after injury though. im sure will take a wr in FA and i hope its robinson that way we can maybe address another need in 1st rnd!

i like woodhead but buck allen can easily be replaced!

i foresee us carrying 4 rbs next year for a few reasons: 1 dixon isnt reliable, 2 woodhead has an injury history, 3 buck allen is a good special teamer

collins will come into camp as the number 1 back, woodhead as the de facto 3rd down back and then i imagine there will be a competition between allen and dixon for number 3 (i suppose west as well but he isnt winning that battle) and if dixon wins we likely keep allen as well and if allen wins then dixon might be in trouble in terms of his roster spot
 
I think Jeremy maclin is the worst big time FA signing the ravens have ever made. Am I missing any names? I mean he is so uninsteeested in playing right now, he signed with us and promptly gave up on football. Fuck that guy.

And to think I was so excited about him coming here. Smh should’ve signed Decker

Closest I can think of is Elvis Grbac...
Maclin has been a let down after showing promise in a difficult situation early in the year...
Jefferson has been disappointing too...
Outside of Carr, Danny Woodhead has been by far our best free agent signing of all the big moves this year and he was on i/r for many weeks...
Vince newsome and Ozzie have done an unideal job on this free agent class as it stands right now

Or neither one of them. Decker hasn’t done anything this year either. The Ravens were desperate as they didn’t have the $ to go after the A grade FA WRs and had to go dumpster diving. Hopefully they use the Maclin/Wallace money wisely this off season and are able to find a real #1.
 
JoeyFlex5 said:
At least Jefferson is out there giving it his all, maclin doesn't give a shit and is actually hurting the team seemingly everytime we target him.
Click to expand...
I think Jefferson has had a solid season. I mean definitely not his best but we all know his best football is still ahead of him. He seems passionate about this defense and it would not surprise me if he becomes the vocal leader of this defense once Suggs leaves or possibly even next season.
