Gotta respect catscollector for coming into the Ravens house and serving that up! Impressive to say the least...
Replace CB with WR and add DL
Assuming he passes a medical and we think we can keep him healthy, it would make senseHow about we target Green from Bengals as a FA, as I don’t want another draft pick we need to wait 3 years to be good. He might like to stick it up the Bengals for not keeping him around.
Ngakoue, assuming he doesn't get franchised, would be my #1 targetLots of OLB and DE as FA. Apart from Clowney, not many superstars.
You have be a pretty selfless WR to play in the Ravens offense, good at run blocking too. Have to be willing to get your hands dirty. Not saying AJ isn't that guy but it wouldn't suit most of the league's #1's who are all about their catches.
Teams must stack the box to stop our rushing attack....
So you will get so many 1v1 opportunities, that 1 broken tackle or missed assignment and there is no safety help. How many TD celebrations can you handle? How many each game?
If it's that easy you dont even need to bother paying for a top WR, why would you waste your money??
Almost any decent receiver will flourish given as many one on one opportunities as you believe they have.
Decent WR mostly don’t beat good DB. Good to very good WR do.
Define "big numbers". Boldin put up 921 yards in the 2012 regular seasonWho was the last WR under Harbaugh to put up big numbers? Boldin?
Define "big numbers". Boldin put up 921 yards in the 2012 regular season
Torrey Smith (1128 in 2013), Steve Smith (1065 in 2014) and Mike Wallace (1017 in 2016) all put up 1000 yard seasons after that.
Hell, even Kamar Aitken has a bigger season than Boldin's last if going purely by yardage
TDs (on their own) are a terrible metric to judge a receiver by because of how volatile they are season to seasonBig numbers....re top 10 in the league, I would have guessed Boldin would have been top 10 in TDs for one of his years in Baltimore?

I think people must think that because he was so dominant in the play-offs leading up to the SB that he was dominant during the regular season too
That's why context matters. The year Aiken put up 900+ yards, he was basically the only guy on the team capable of catching passes as everyone else got injured. When you're force fed the ball you are more than likely going to put up bulk statsBut then what do yards mean when the likes of Kamar Aiken have had more In a season?
Who said lack of talent was the reason?It's how the team is built. Boldin played when the Ravens had prime Ray Rice and were run heavy. I remember him being a player who always stepped up when his name was called. Wasn't because of a lack of talent that he didn't put up yards.

You could just as easily replace Harbaugh in that sentence with Ozzie Newsome (you know, the guy actually responsible for signing players )My original point was, I couldn't see the Ravens throwing money at a WR like Green because under Harbaugh they haven't been know to pay for WRs. They'll use what they draft and go find cheaper options in free agency or trade year by year.

Eric DeCosta has shown himself to be more aggressive in basically every way possible so far than Ozzie was, so its not out of the realms of possibility that he'd do something else Ozzie didn't and sign a high profile FA at an offensive skill position
Aggressive in comparison to OzzieWhat has done to be "more agressive" so far? Trade for Peters?
Hold the phone, team in position to contend for superbowl makes trade near the deadline...
Aggressive in comparison to Ozzie
-He was the one that pushed to trade up for Lamar
-Signing a big name FA in Earl Thomas (Ozzie tended to just sign middle tier FAs)
-He's actually signed pending free agents instead of letting them all test free agency
Ironic if Perriman ends up back here in 2020, he showed good at the Bucs, finally a studOzzie drafted a deep threat WR in the first round in 2015 too.
Hopefully Hollywood turns out better than that one did
