There’s been several times in the past few years, where Ravens fans have waited impatiently for the team to make its pick in the first round, only to go to bed disappointed due to the team trading out of that spot. In fact, last year I was screaming for them to pick CourtneyUpshaw in round one. Well, we all know how that went. There is a good reason why Ozzie Newsome is the GM of the team, and I’m writing this blog.

As teams are evaluating players that they are bringing in for individual workouts, the draft board is moving all over the place. With 16 days to go until the NFL Draft, here’s what I see the Ravens doing:
1. DeAndre Hopkins – WR, Clemson. If he gets by Houston and New England, this stout wide receiver just may end up a Raven. One of the new phrases for this year in regards to wide receivers is “catch radius”. What this … Read More »
Huff played multiple secondary positions at oakland but he was basically signed to replace Ed Reed.
“In Ozzie We Trust”. I had spent much of the weekend whining about the loss of Boldin and then at 5Pm Sunday, Baltimore was hit with the best news since February 3rd–the best free agent pass rusher in the NFL will now combine with Terrell Suggs to produce the new Baltimore Sack Pack. Perhaps this will dictate Game 1 of the season as rematch of the greatest games ever … Read More »
Listen, I have always said In Ozzie We Trust. But wow, I just cannot believe that Anquan Boldin is gone. I guess the ravens meant what they said. It looks like Kruger ($12 Million to the Colts), Ellerbe ($6+ mill to the Browns) Listen, I have always said In Ozzie We Trust. But wow, I just cannot believe that Anquan Boldin is gone. … Read More »
“Without him, we don’t win the Super Bowl. He’s a huge part of this team and someone I want to see back,” Flacco, who signed a six-year, $120.6 million contract this offseason, told USA Today. “Obviously, when you’re a player of his caliber, you believe you’re worth a number and that’s what you should get. He’s going to stick to his guns, and that’s the way it should be.”
Boldin’s response to the pressure to accept a salary cut makes … Read More »

The good: Ellerbe was the Ravens’ best defensive player by the end of the team’s Super Bowl run. This season, he finished second on the team in tackles (89) and sacks (4.5). Ellerbe is athletic and aggressive who is just hitting his stride as an every-down player.
The bad: His attitude and work ethic have been a problem at times. He has been known to be late … Read More »
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco huddled with his agent, Joe Linta, on Sunday to go over the finer points of his $120.6 million contract that includes a $29 million signing bonus and a total of $52 million in guaranteed money.
Now, the details of the contract have been finalized. Among them: $30 million paid out in the first year, $51 million in the first two years and $62 million in the first three years, topping Drew Brees’ $61 million payout in the first … Read More »
Is there anyone in my reading audience who thinks that Geno Smith or Matt Barkley could replace Joe Flacco? Maybe they could but the odds are so strong against that proposition. This might be the dumbest contingency I have ever heard presented. Don’t we ever learn from our mistakes.#99 can be replaced. #29 can be replaced. #88 can be replaced. McKinnie–I am not sure about. #20 and #81 would be brutal to lose. BUT LOSING #5 would damage this franchise … Read More »
