Bruh I damn near completely forgot about JAD. If he can make a Stephens-esque jump of improvement this year, our secondary isn't gonna miss a beat.

Now speaking of Stephens, does your contact know of any updates regarding a potential extension?

that would be amazing if he did. I'm betting Stephens is betting on himself and don't see extension talk starting until atleast mid season or later.

They did the same with Ben Powers. I think Ben Cleveland is still the likely starter at right guard.

Or they’re just trying to showcase his versatility to other teams so they can trade him, instead of flat out cutting him, before the 53 cut down
 
Eagles playing their starters for a drive or two this game..

Nate Wiggins vs AJ Brown gonna be a show.

Surely he’ll do better than Emmanuel Forbes right? …..right?

Hmmm. I don't really see it. Cleveland shown he has the ability to be versatility from playing right guard , right tackle and currently center. Even though I think he still maybe the team starting right guard I don't think its smart to trade quality offensive lineman . Wasn't able to watch the preseason but heard he played well at center last night.
 
I'm nervous about Wiggins. Not just right now but generally. Dude gets hurt making a routine tackle in the third quarter of his first preseason game. It was also either his first or second total tackle of the game too. Could be totally a freak thing, we've seen that many times before. But this was truly singular concern about him predraft.

Wishing him well
 
Also think the number of players you can say did anything good at any point was kinda small.

QB
Atrocious by everyone

RB
Wright was a big positive
Ali was trash

WR
Everyone was bad. Wade maybe the best among this bad group.

TE
Nothing to note.

OL
I think as a whole this group was fine. I don't really feel strongly that is was greatly good or really bad.

DL and EDGE
Really poor showing all around. Some of the worst I've seen in a long time from the Ravens.

ILB
Also really not great. Simpson was at least the best of this group. Pretty sure he's gonna be an obvious step down from PQ this year at least. High hopes generally for him though.

DBs
This was the best group. Wiggins, JAD, Kane, Cooper Jr and Brade all showed up in some way.

My 53 post game 1 (knowing full well this will change more). This is based on opinion and some usage data...

QB
In: Lamar Jackson, Josh Johnson
Bubble: Devin Leary
Out: Emory Jones

Leary has an opportunity to prove he should stick and did nothing with it. Johnson didn't look great himself but no way I'm keeping 3 at this stage with how both of them looked.


RB
In: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, Owen Wright, Pat Ricard (FB), Keaton Mitchell (PUP)
Bubble: Rasheen Ali
Out: Chris Collier

I don't think a pick status is going to save Ali unless he steps up the next 2 games. It's far from over for him but there was not enough there for me to think he's overtaking Wright with what he showed and the reports up to this point.


WR
In: Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, Devontez Walker, Deonte Harty, Tylan Wallace
Bubble: Russell Gage
Out: Keith Kirkwood, Malik Cunningham, Sean Ryan, Dayton Wade, Isaiah Washington

I really don't know what to make of this unit yet. I've giving the edge to Tylan because of his ST contributions but a number of names could swap in OR we could just opt for 5.


TE
In: Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely, Charlie Kolar
Bubble:
Out: Scotty Washington, Mike Rigerman, Qadir Ismail, Riley Sharp

This one is pretty simple at least. Rigerman and Ismail show some PS potential.


OL
In: Ronnie Stanley, Andrew Vorhees, Tyler Linderbaum, Daniel Faalele, Roger Rosengarten, Patrick Mekari, Josh Jones, Ben Cleveland, Sala Aumavae-Laulu
Bubble: Nick Samac, Tashawn Manning
Out: Julian Pearl, Darrian Dalcourt, Corey Bullock, Darrell Simpson, TyKeem Doss

This is another tough one. Cleveland seems like a pretty safe bet at this stage even if it's not as a starter. I feel like you've got a firm top 8, but the 9th is up in the air. I went Sala because of G/T versatility. Samac is interesting with Dalcourt getting C reps over him.


DL
In: Justin Madubuike, Michael Pierce, Brent Urban, Travis Jones, Broderick Washington
Bubble:
Out: Josh Tupou, Deadrin Senat, CJ Ravenell, Tramel Walthour

Another easy one. Think it would take an injury to move any of the out guys to the bubble. Ravenell shows some promise and could be a PS guy.


ILB
In: Roquan Smith, Trenton Simpson, Malik Harrison, Chris Board
Bubble: Josh Ross
Out: Yvandy Rigby, Deion Jennings

The question here is 4 or 5. Regardless if Ross is on the original 53, I'd be surprised if he's not playing games for us this year as a callup. I think Rigby has an opportunity to push himself up in the next couple of weeks.


OLB
In: Kyle Van Noy, Odafe Oweh, Tavius Robinson, David Ojabo, Adisa Isaac
Bubble:
Out: Quincy Roche, Joe Evans

The young guys need to step up. Based on what I've heard, they seemingly want to go with this group but Ojabo and Isaac in particular need to get healthy and show something or an outside addition could be made.


CB
In: Marlon Humphrey, Brandon Stephens, Nate Wiggins, Jalyn Armour-Davis, TJ Tampa, Pepe Williams, Arthur Maulet*
Bubble: Ka'dar Hollman
Out: Trayvon Mullen, Christian Matthew, Bump Cooper

I have Maulet in for now pending some more info on his injury. If he does go to IR to start the year, Josh Ross would get the nod from me. Hollman looked to be pretty good on ST so not counting him out. Mullen getting back healthy could reenter his name into the conversation.


S
In: Kyle Hamilton, Marcus Williams, Eddie Jackson, Ar'Darius Washington, Sanoussi Kane
Bubble: Daryl Worley
Out: Beau Brade

Sorry to Worley but the young guys are stepping up. He could be a vet PS addition that plays eventually, but I'm not losing Ar'Darius or Kane for him.


ST
In: Justin Tucker, Jordan Stout, Nick Moore
Bubble:
Out: Randen Plattner

Easy
 
If I had to pick an ideal PS based on who we have currently and my guess at a 53 above...

O: Devin Leary, Rasheen Ali, Malik Cunningham, Dayton Wade, Mike Rigerman, Qadir Ismail, Nick Samac, Tashawn Manning, Darrian Dalcourt
D: CJ Ravenell, Josh Ross, Yvandy Rigby, Joe Evans, Bump Cooper, Daryl Worley, Beau Brade

Agree all around but something tells me Gage is making the team. I think he has a fully guaranteed 1.2m contract?
