    Starting to think they're still bitter over their playoff disaster.

    Really does piss me off that players I like keep going to our hated rivals. WTF? 28 other teams, you'd think the odds would be in our favor they'd go elsewhere.

    After thinking about it for a while, I`m a bit concerned. We need to get whatever players we need to win another SB in the next 3-4 years while Ben is still in his prime. That should be our goal. That means not doing business as usual in the draft and think more short term, most importantly, getting a couple key players at CB IMO.

    Did we accomplish that in this draft?

    I wish there was a way we could have traded up to get a special player like Ramsey who only comes along once in a long while, but that had to be impossible and the way we went was the only way.

    I hope Burns works out to be great and next year we go get the final pieces to make us #1 for a couple years.

    I think we did that. Even if the players were off the popular consensus mark. We hit our biggest needs and in order of priority. Cb first with a long reach corner for the outside. Then a physical safety who can play corner with tons of solo tackles, then a DT who is already being heralded. Add a softer schedule then 2015, we stay healthy on offense.. I'm feeling it.

    We will see who contributes from this class but we were a contender last year. This year is easier minus blake and finally, a crop of young secondary talent picked on the top end of a draft.

    Lmbo... Yeah, was thinking the same thing. It seem like this draft wasn't filled with a lot of bonefide talent. Normally, I can't wait until after the draft to get a udfa but this year...I think they were already scraping the bottom of the barrel in the 5th rd

    I really hate to say it, but the Ravens are having a sweet draft.
