The 2024 Offseason Thread

Yep. OL is your hole right now from a starting perspective, but depth is lacking at RB, WR, ILB, Edge, CB, and S

the strong OL draft class and the fact that we have very few starting "holes" gives us the opportunity to go BPA regardless of who falls

i do have 11 OL in my top 30
but only 7 of them have 1st round grades

I think as a whole besides O-line we don’t have any significant position of need. I do think lack of depth is an issue though at a lot of positions and means that if we have anyone go down, it will be a struggle. I do think this puts us in position to draft BPA but then you also have to hope someone falls to us at 30.

Edge is a significant need, because ojabo has given us nothing to depend on, and oweh is looking like a classic case of a guy the ravens let walk after 4 years

I think we need depth there for sure but don't underestimate a pass rusher in a contract year with Oweh. Feel like I am optimistic with Tavius Robinson as well. Can't count on Ojabo for anything though coming off another significant injury and KVN is good but getting up there.

I think safety is an underrated need. We want Hamilton in the slot frequently where he completely takes over games and them we need a new Stone-like player as part time starter. I.e. more than just a backup-level FS

The FA market and the draft are both pretty strong on that front

I don’t disagree. I would not be shocked to see a cole bishop on day 2. That dude looks like a player the ravens would be enamored with

I love Cole bishop - took me by surprise watching him but he’s my favourite of the pure safeties

i'd really like to give Owen the 5th year option. He has shown flashes and had a good season last year.

To me Eric seemed to tip off that he expects (obviously it's just his current hunch and could easily change) that Vorhees is probably the guy at LG and Cleveland is the guy at RG

I will say if Vorhees is healthy and back to full strength, I feel much better about his ability to win the starting LG job

There's really no reason to think he shouldn't be right?

Never know, I mean we are still hoping Ojabo can get healthy right?

All at the same time. When was the last time we fielded 5 white OL? Lol

I find the total lack of discussion of Malik Cunningham interesting

He was talked about by EDC pre-draft and they weren't sure whether he was going to stick at QB or move to WR. Seems they were likely unimpressed by his QB skills in his stint here but may want to see him in minicamps before making a switch.

Yeah I think that's gotta be it. If he doesn't have it as a QB he won't make it here as a WR

Yeah most likely. Could be a good PS guy to have around but them not being willing to commit to him as a QB is a bad omen for his future in the league.

1) Please stay healthy
2) Lamar please take what the defense gives you. That means run if you need to
3) Derek Henry please stabilize our RB room which we haven't had for quite awhile.
4) Keaton Mitchell please come back and do your thing
5) OL please just be serviceable
6) Monken please improve in year 2. No cute shit and don't be fucking scared. Our offense needs swagger.
7) Justin Madabuike. Prove us right.
8) Trenton Simpson, show why people said you were LB1/2 2 years ago.
9) Oweh, Ojabo, Isaac, someone please for the love of God show up.
10) Zach Orr please prove you were the right guy.
