giraffes don't jump because they are afraid of heights. Maybe this is the reason he can't clear a player when he is jumping.

I'd argue that TE is one of those positions on the Ravens where the depth chart doesn't really matter. 1-3 are going to play a lot regardless and even 4 is going to get some time if he's good enough.

Another peculiar pattern - turns out when we draft 2 TEs, the one picked later gets second contract and the earlier one is a bust
Dickson / Pitta
Maxx / Boyle
Hayden / Andrews (?)
In regards to the Boyle deal. At first glance the 18m seems high, but there could be a bunch of deferred guaranteed money in the form of roster bonus, which would allow for an easy exit from the contract. I'm also hoping there is language protecting them from his 2 PED suspensions within the contract. Another thing to consider is that the entire first years salary is most likely part of that 10m in guarantees.
Another thing to consider is having a 3 year contract is much better than a 5 year backloaded deal due to the fact it leaves less dead money.
Although none of us have seen the contract details, I think it's going to be easier to stomach than the overall 18m number. That's just my take.

you forgot the 5th rounder they used in conjunction with the 2nd rounder that they traded to Arizona to move up and draft Williams. Overall it's not bad at all....see below
1st Haydon Hurst (jurry is out- think he will be very good)
2nd Maxx (never lived up to expectations but has been a good run and pass blocker)
3rd Mark Andrews (going to be a stud)
3rd Crockett Gilmore (injuries derailed career)
5th Nick Boyle (one of the best pass blockers in the league)
5th (additional pick used in trade up for Maxx)
Watsons contract was reasonable and he was the leading receiver on the team
PItta -- no one could have seen that injury coming
Boyle -- lets wait for the details of the contract before panning it.
not so bad, if you ask me.

I guess you could throw a 6th in there too for converting Waller to TE.
was just about to say the same thing

IS Waller still with the team?

No. I think he's with the Raiders now.

I know Eric has been talking significantly about analytics... I say we need to be careful about how we approach that issue. Analytics are a great tool, but tape is end all be all. A player like CJ Mosley has an impact on the game far beyond what analytics and comprehend. The tape shows that. And if we let CJ Walk because of analytics that's dumb. Insanely idiotic and it will scare the crap out of me for the next four years. A player of that capacity due to his sheer intelligence alone is going to be difficult to replace. We all saw how the defense fell apart when CJ left.
We need to get that deal done.
