Lewis didn't have an ACL injury. He had elective shoulder surgery and that's why he is done for the year. Siragusa is the one who shredded every ligament--that's an exaggeration, btw. I don't know if we can depend on Lewis but I think the Ravens will. We definitely need a WR, RB, OL, and QB, and maybe a TE. We need to reload the entire offense at every level. I just don't think we'll throw our early picks at OL.
Wow, got that wrong I've been totally off lately but yeah Lewis is a guy who is questionable because the team will surely want the OL to play better and will want to do something there, I think Jensen stays and Stanley is certainly in the teams plans, I think we'll retain Howard if he keeps up his play. That legit leaves LG as a position to upgrade and to be honest we do miss K.O and I think the team wants an effective replacement there, I just think LG is the odd-man out.
I think we will keep Lewis still at LG because that seems to be where we want him honestly. I think the plan was to put Nico at C next year but his knee was shredded so there goes that plan. I think we wanted him to get acclimated this year and take over next. That’s why I think we will go after an OL early but I don’t think it’ll be multiple positions. I see us taking two OL just not throwing 1st and 2nd and 3rd round picks on them lol. We definitely need a WR, legit RB, and a QB. I’d go with those guys and wait on TE.
I don’t think so, personally, but it’s definitely fair to question if he can recover and make an impact next year after missing his entire rookie campaign. That’s where I have my questions on whether or not he can make an impact and start next year. He isn’t a DB or a WR or a guy who really would typically suffer from long term effects but it could hurt his quickness and that sucks but as an inside guy you can sorta mask that anyway so it may not be a huge deal.
I don’t disagree with trading up to get one being a risk but we’ve seen guys taken in the late first and/or second round and they have made an impact and become very good players like Jimmy and Carr
totally agree. Although QB may be a choice higher on the list if Flacco continues this play.
I feel Yanda would return and still be a very good if not top 5 Guard in the league, even after injury. I've always looked at Howard as a stop gap one year signing and if he does have a good year, then he may be worth the 5m option. Agree that Siragusa and Lewis will be productive, even if they are only backups. Hurst, I won't miss and Jensen should be able to be signed relatively cheap.
Stanley is the LT of the future and we need someone to replace Yanda when he is gone. The rest of the pieces should be replaced, unless Jensen has a top 10 year and I don't see that happening. Rebuilding wouldn't be the word, but we definitely need an offensive line. Brady couldn't play behind this line.
Both the ol and the dl are equally as important to me. The team needs to win the battle in the trenches in both offense and defense.
It's very possible to get a really good receiver after round 1
