Borruw got sacked 20x in 4 playoff games
and i thought our oline was terrible

Honestly if I am the Bengals I have now circled the top T and top G prospects in FA (I have who I would consider the best at each) and using the mountain of cap space I have to sign both just as a start.

My personal take is that they will certainly try to address OT/OLB and get younger at those positions. A lot of Ravens fans on social media are clamoring for Tyrann Mathieu and I don't see how that's a realistic possibility. Not only is will he be really expensive but that's one place where we've flunked at in FA. I liked what I saw from Brandon Stephens and I would like to see us give him a shot to win that job, we could also bring back Elliott, draft a safety in the mid rounds and have them compete for that job. Don't get me wrong, I personally think Tyrann can help us in so many ways but given the cap and what we have, safety is one position I'm willing to role the dice on.

As far as Tackles I see us probably building depth there. We have Mekari who's a pretty damn good backup tackle though I prefer him not to be the starter, he very well could be our starting C next year so finding another option might be necessary. I think we sign a mid-level Tackle but draft one in the first two rounds.

Edge is where help is badly needed and I think the Ravens want to create more pressure without trying to rely too much on confusion. If an edge guy is there that we think is worth it, then I for sure see the Ravens taking the edge player over a tackle. We just don't have much depth there given Houstons uncertainty, and Tyus Bowser injury(Though I do see him coming back by the time the season starts, it's tough to imagine where he'll be). I think the front four needs as much help as possible and needs to get younger so R1 I think we'll prioritize edge over anything else. Now if the Ravens see an elite caliber T at 14 then I think they'll go with that, but it's hard for me to see them passing on David Ojobo if he's there.

For FA, I think at a minimum they need a replacement level starter in each of OT/DL/OLB and Fort or Bynes. Imo that gets us to the draft without any glaring holes which is always ravens job #1.

Beyond that I'd love to upgrade either the DL or OLB pick up to a premium guy and get a high level starter at C, but I really don't know that we have the cap space for these luxuries.
 
Not having IG or Twitter anymore, did Hollywood have a lot of Ravens related stuff on his social media prior to today?
