How is the cap looking?

tight - almost certainly going to have to get rid of brandon carr and maybe do a restructure or 2 on existing contracts to have some breathing room

Tight, but also a "who knows" right now. Even Brian M is having trouble keeping up with all of the changes that have taken place.

my guess is he's the player that's gonna be traded today that no one was expecting - not sure we can fit him in the cap

idk the team is basically already in a pretty good position at this point - we could miss every single pick and still be successful this season - but the odds of us missing on all 5 of our day 1 and 2 picks would be incredibly unlikely

he doesnt need to nail this draft any better than we have before but this gives us a better chance of coming out with a good or great class

We've only gained 1 upgrade in a required 5 positions ( now 6 if you think we need another TE)

We still lack
EDGE
Interior O line
WR
ILB
TE

EDC didn't trade Hurst for a second round pick- he traded Hurst for a fifth round pick and just happened to get a second along the way.

right but we're not looking for game-changing player at every single one of those positions - they're not needs in the same way that we've had in the past where the team will literally fall apart without adding one

but this draft class is absolutely stacked with WRs so not particularly worried about that

a magical 5th rounder - our only trading tool

At this point Eric will find a way to make it happen.

it's gonna be BPA all the way for these first 3 picks but if Ruiz is there at 28 im not sure there'll necessarily be a better fit/better player available at that spot

i mostly agree though that we're gonna be C, WR with 2 of those first 3 picks - not sure that it'll be an edge necessarily given the class but some help somewhere in the front 7 is likely i think

Players like Greenard/Mims/ and a few others are the main reason we were shopping Hurst. You are not getting either of these guys late two and we know it. Id say there are several players they are right now targeting early-mid two that we hadn't a prayer for before.

Oh we can lol. We're masters at that

Aaron Donald for a fifth. Who says no?

 

[Ludy51]

Glad to see the other AFC teams imploding, makes our job easier.

Also, @Simba


You ain’t wrong lmao

[JAAM]

I mean it's a little coincidental we're stockpiling picks and Stef just tweeted that. Speak into existence ya'll

haha rams clearly would pay for 100% of his salary too

 

[RavensFan419]

definitely agree - it's been my main problem when mock drafting (or attempting to) is that there's 2 or 3 guys i like at 28 (or in a trade back) but who absolutely would not be available at 60 - this could definitely solve that problem and allow us to realistically grab 2 of those upper eschelon guys who are great fits and then also grab someone who's falling at 60
