Sucks stroud is gonna 1 overall
wow, Arnie. Haven't seen you around here in a very long time. You should visit more often.
I don't think they will reduce Lamar's offer. If anything I think they could increase the offer if another team comes out with an offer for Lamar.

Yeah unless EDC can horse trade his was up to #1. I don’t see stroud getting past Carolina, or Houston.

If this is still unresolved by the draft, it could be telling to see how the Raven's draft, especially if they stick with only 5 picks

I think the panthers have convinced themselves Richardson is the guy. Higher ceiling. They are wrong, he is not good, and I’m still annoyed Vs how he played Vs Kentucky. But that’s my guess where they go
Andy Dalton is the bridge until week 6 then it’s all Richardson in a desperate attempt to reinvent Newton 2.0

Definitely will. If Lamar has to play on the tag then I could see them going after Richardson or Levi’s if either one falls closer to their 22 pick. I really don’t see either of those two being ready to start day one.

I think both of those guys are going in the top 10-12, barring some injury. I think the four "main" first round QBs are going to go and go early.
I don't think it'll change draft strategy too much. I think there's an outside chance they'd look at a QB on day 3 as a developmental guy, especially if Huntley ends up with an offer sheet we don't match.
The only way I see our draft strategy changing significantly is if Lamar gets an offer we don't match before the draft.

Think the next relevant report you'll hear is if somebody actually submits an offer sheet. These reports of "well I think X team is thinking about it" is useless.
And unfortunately, the window for submitting offer sheets will last for the next 4 months.

Agreed but if we're being realistic, offer sheets if they're coming would be in the next few days right?

Feels more likely Lamar plays out the tag. Only way he is getting his number is if he balls out this year and forces the Ravens hand or tempts more offer sheets next year

Maybe. Just depends.
Theoretically post-draft would be an option if a team or two strike out in the draft or don't get the players they thought they were going to.
But the matter cap space dwindles for teams, the less likely it becomes.

Yeah I just saw it. I definitely think the Colts and Texans would be the teams who'd be bold enough to do so.

maybe McKee in the 3rd if he's there

Bro. Did you even watch the combine? McKee couldn't complete routine passes in shorts. There was like 6 passes in a row that were just horrendous and uncatchable. That guy is ass

I don't think we draft a qb. If we do, we signal Lamar ain't gonna last with us. Then all offers dry up and everyone waits out the inevitable drop. I think by the draft Lamar is resolved. Either he's with another team or a team misses their qb pick and the hotline lights up on draft night.
