I may sound selfish and ignorant with this one, but hey, Everson Griffen wouldn't be a bad signing at all.

oh absolutely - im not saying they have anything actively in the works at all - just that this is the most openly ive ever heard someone from the ravens front office actively solicit trades etc. out in the open like this
partly that makes me suspicious that it's somehow a smokescreen but not sure how it possibly could be lol

the one player that I would approve of a backload for. Keep Judon, Backload a griffen deal. Have a rush of griffen, brockers, Campbell, and Judon, and a who’s who of a 5th man to blitz whether it be chuck, earl, Levine, bowser, young, Humphrey, jimmy, and hopefully a guy like Malik Harrison, or amik Robertson can get tossed in the mix as well. Then go all in on offense. Get a wr round 1, get multiple IOL day 2.
With that deal, we might hit a snag in the future, but man that 2 year super bowl window is WIDE OPEN and the only thing stopping us would be us.
thank youI'm sorry for your loss

Supposedly. You get so many conflicting messages from the daily CDC/Presidential presser, I'm confused myself. What else does herd immunity mean then right? But, I've been a pretty unlucky dude so I doubt I had corona virus, but I was tested in a MedExpress clinic in Florida where I caught the flu, and I did test positive for the Influenza or so I was told. They gave me some literature on the influenza virus... But whatever the heck it was, this was the worst flu I had in my over 57 yrs of life!

Very sorry for your loss. I hope she died peacefully and may she RIP.
we drove up from Germantown, MD on Friday and it took 8 hours with a stop. We were with her for 4 hours on Friday and then 6 hours on Saturday. She passed away early morning on Sunday and the burial was today. We could only have 10 people at the cemetery and we did a Zoom get together with friends and family this evening, with a short service.

After seeing comment sections on fb regarding brady to TB(yes I know, fb is cancer) I’ve realized that literally nobody understands that Tampa has a bit of squad... nobody has the slightest clue that Tampa had the leagues top rush defense by quite a margin despite defending jameis’ 30 ints, and they genuinely have no idea the level of talent on that team, the names Devin white, lavonte David, Shaq Barrett, and vita vea mean absolutely nothing to these people...
watch them grab some premium talent at 14 like javon kinlaw too

They would be idiots to do anything but grab the strength of the top of this class with an OT. It’s Bruce arians offense, with Tom fucking brady and no semblance of a run game to lean on, yeah, get the best OT available and idc what other players are available lol
i dont think there's going to be an OT left anywhere near 14 lol... im fully expecting all 4 (im including wirfs because he'll get drafted as an OT) to be drafted by the 11th pick and honestly the jets might have to move up to get 1 in which case the browns at 10 might find themselves without 1...
but there may well be some nice tier 2/3 tackles who would be available in the 2nd round when they pick - probably way too late for josh jones or austin jackson but they might get lucas niang or prince tega-wanogho or isaiah wilson even - idk what kind of running scheme the bucs run but ezra cleveland could be drafted fairly high for a team that thinks he's a scheme fit for them
if im the bucs i hope one of those tackles falls but if not im happy taking whichever defensive player falls in stead - javon kinlaw, k'lavon chaisson, isaiah simmons, CJ Henderson and just plugging them in

If I’m the bucs and there’s no OT available, I’m looking at secondary, no question. Their front seven could use an interior rusher and a complementary edge, sure, but in terms of roster holes, their biggest needs are DB >>> OT >> RB > pass rusher. OT takes a big step forward due to their makeup (dinosaur brady in arians offense with Mike evans and Chris Godwin and oj Howard), but if they Can’t go OT at 14, the next biggest strength of this class also happens to be the weakest spot on their roster, if Henderson falls there he’s a no brainer, then the likes of McKinney, Fulton, and Gladney are absolutely guys I think could be considered values. Although I’ll admit, bookends of chaisson and Barrett sounds interesting and would be considered value for sure
i mean henderson would be the best matchup of need meeting BPA for them in that situation - im not thinking about need really much at all if im picking that high in the draft - especially with the way this draft is set up in terms of talent
im 100% looking at premier players regardless of position when im that high in the draft - mckinney might qualify although not sure id consider him quite that high
henderson for sure though

Dunno I guess I’m just really high on Gladney and Fulton also

corona lockdown hit on web site:
ive got fulton as CB 3 and player 29
ive got gladney as CB 7 and player 37
some of that is ive banged some of the corners for need albeit not much - ive got 7 corners graded between slot 29 and 46 which is absurd- not a huge amount of separation in their grades at all
over a third of the prospects on my board between 29 and 46 are corners lol

Makes sense, I think after Fulton and Gladney the corners become a 30-50 logjam, lots of quality round 2 corners while I think okudah should be a top 3 player and possibly the best player in the class, Henderson is a early teens at worst, and Fulton/Gladney could go anywhere after Henderson in the first and it would be a solid pick
there's part of me that wants to put Henderson ahead of okudah - but okudah is also great at the stuff that henderson is insanely good at and better at some of the physical stuff like tackling and run support etc. that puts him over the top
they are both among the top 3 CBs ive graded since i started doing this - the other guy is marshon lattimore
i almost wish this year we were CB needy because there's so many good ones all the way after the top 2 from like the end of round 1 through day 2 - ive got 14 corners who i have graded between 29 and the end of the 3rd round
