@AdamBMore @VasilisLerikos I think there was a much stronger argument to keep Lindy vs CJ imo. CJ was such a flawed player in a league moving toward increased passing.

@VasilisLerikos Don’t disagree. And drove up their price on the way out the door to help comp pick. When BOTH sides of the fandom win 😂

CJ Mosley deal w/ the Jets set the ILB market at the time. Reminiscent of the Linderbaum scenario this offseason (bad team drops Brinks truck for non-premium position player drafted by BAL in R1).
Marcus Mosher@Marcus_Mosher

There have been 29 off-ball linebackers drafted in Round 1 since 2009. I believe only 4 signed a second contract with the team that drafted them: Luke Kuechly (2012) Dont'a Hightower (2012) Leighton Vander Esch (2018) Brian Cushing (2009)

@VasilisLerikos @robertmays Devils advocate. Those were bad moves, but not developing their round 1 guys at OLB and WR hurt them way worse (Oweh/Bate), + spending additional high picks at non premium positions (C, S x2) were just as bad or worse.

@robertmays How bad did the Ravens botch the Lamar Jackson window by prioritizing devalued positions? (Queen- Dobbins 1-2 in the ‘20 draft, Roquan & Henry more recently)

@VasilisLerikos Draft a RB every year in the 4th/5th. Maybe occasionally on day 2 if someone awesome falls.

OTC projects the #Ravens to be $12M over the 2027 salary cap estimation of $327M (before picking up Flowers $27M 5th yr option) Potential Savings if released/traded next offseason: Lamar $9.5M Roquan $20M Beeks $11.6M Bateman $3M Henry $1.5M Hawkins $5M TLDR: Drafting an early round successor to King Henry before the ‘28 draft cycle would be roster construction malpractice #RavensFlock

@SleeperNFL @ryanmcfadden_ This is a dumb take. You can’t possibly do a full medical exam remotely. Which means you’re relying on the scans an input from the Raiders doctors. And Raiders are a shit organization.

Those close to Maxx Crosby are skeptical that his medical state was the sole motive for the trade reversal, per @ryanmcfadden_ Baltimore had a full understanding of the injury before the trade.

@CalebQ247 @SterlingAndrew_ @MDtheG1 @Marcus_Mosher Bottom line is: ILB has much less excess value than premium positions if you take them in R1. It’s the RB of the D. Top of the market guys are cheaper, & with a few exceptions it’s not worth paying top of the market for this completely non-premium position.

@fredrosewag @devpanchwagh Maxx didn’t come to the ravens for his physical right away because MAXX had a conflict - an event on Sunday. So he flew out on Monday. Came in on Tuesday. ESPN reported that Minter and the defensive staff DID greet him right away, and EDC was busy with free agency.

@devpanchwagh Dev, here are the things that as a Raven fan I still question: why if trade made Friday, did ravens wait til Tuesday for physical, and why would neither EDC nor Minter greet him when he arrived at facility. Neither meet with him until after physical. Seems strange

@raptorsrepublic Yes. Kinda regretting the Ingram trade even though the price wasn’t bad. Hopefully they can use him to upgrade PG1

@FieldYates @billbarnwell @FieldYates why are people acting like Sewell can’t play LT and they’re going to take a raw OT at 16 to play the position? Much easier to fill RT…

@AdamBMore @Yuri_Ravens 17 WR 3 clear HR. 9 hits + HRs 4 clear busts + Ruggs in jail 2 that need more info to judge. Hit rate at CB is def higher, but not sure that it is at OT, Pass rusher, and other premium positions…

@JosephCasciaro I don’t get Darko usage of Battle though. He doesn’t reward him for good stretches enough imo (Suns game not last night)

Guys like Dick haven't made it much of a competition, but Walter earned his solidified rotation spot. He's become a solid 3-and-D reserve and has a path to something more.

@JosephCasciaro I would love to see a compilation of Gradey leading the break. I don’t think he’s made a good decision all season. The median outcome is offensive foul.

@AdamBMore @Yuri_Ravens I mean if you remove the ancient data it cleans up a lot, and then don’t arbitrarily choose pick 21 & you add: JJets 22 Zay 22 Addison 23 BTJ 23 DJ Moore 24 Hollywood 25 Aiyuk 25 (Ridley 28) Also missed Egbuka at 19. That’s a lot of hits in the past 7 years excluded.

@laboyzz @Yuri_Ravens Here’s the WRs in the 12-21 range last dozen years: Michael Floyd, Kendall Wright, OBJ, Devante Parker, Nelson Agholor, Corey Coleman, Will Fuller, Ruggs, Jeudy, Lamb, Reagor, Toney, Jamison Williams, Dotson, Burks, JSN, Q Johnson. That’s a VERY mid-to-bad list beyond OBJ/JSN

@AdamBMore @Yuri_Ravens 27-32 range is def more of a crapshoot though, not really comparable to the guys going 10-25ish imo

@laboyzz @Yuri_Ravens Guess it also depends how you define bust. I think there’s been some solid WR2 types but drafted too early which is a wasted pick imo. Bateman for instance.

@laboyzz @Yuri_Ravens I think it’s too broad to say R1 tbh Break out WR in 1-10 vs 11-32 and the disparity is even wider

@AdamBMore @Yuri_Ravens Imo teams are getting better at it though. 2023 JSN, Zay, QJ, Addison in a row 19-23. 2022 London Garrett Olave Jamo (then Burks Dotson) Reagor year, lamb, Jefferson, Higgins, Aiyuk, Jeudy (Ruggs miss). Far cry on success rate from Corey Davis & Mike Williams going top 10

@Yuri_Ravens Statistically it’s an absolute crap shoot. More so than OL, DL, DB. You show me JSN & I’ll show you nKeal Harry, Reagor, Leggette…

@JustEsBaraheni Highly doubt it. Darko is not loosening his rotation this late into the season. We already seen it play out with TJD.
