    What’s wrong with drafting one of the Centers is it takes away from drafting other areas of need like CB, RT, ILB and possibly WR. They need to fill at least two of those positions in free agency. We could stand to upgrade the defensive line as well. Cole Holcomb and Ogunjobi really screwed us over at those positions one because of injury the other one because of underperformance. Either way we have to upgrade DL and ILB as well. It makes for alot of holes and instead of the team getting better you feel like they are on a treadmill just backfilling underperforming positions and never really getting better.

    Exactly. They had the opportunity to sign a solid veteran at center. They failed to get it done. Maybe they make some big splash in free agency that compensates for that failure, but right now, it doesn't look good.

    I would be OK with Johnson in the first. And signing someone like Matt hennessy as a backup. Maybe even coleman for a few million a year.

    But go after a CB please in FA! It's killing me with the secondary

    CB is my must. I'm tired of seeing that secondary like that.
    RT is meh to me. However I'm fine if they went with that RT or if Georgia or Alabama, and then any of those 4 centers.

    They're obviously drafting a C. Fine, but they can't fill all of these holes in the draft. Options are running out. I honestly expected a couple signings by now (beyond Wilson and a P).

    Free-agent Derrick Henry is signing a two-year, $16 million deal worth up to $20 million, including $9 million fully guaranteed in the first year with the Baltimore Ravens, sources tell ESPN.

    I'm not sure I have confidence in Henry reproducing his earlier form. The Ravens O will help him, no doubt, but I still think they'll get stung on this one.

    Though I've never been right in my predictions before.

    The Ravens sign players every year that some on this board usually will say something about taking them over the edge, and yet We still end up beating them, and they end up not making it very far.
    Wake me when they do.

    Ravens got tired of Henry running over them. Dobbins can’t seem to stay healthy. I would make this move too if I were them.

    I wonder if Derrick Henry will have more passing touchdowns then Kenny Pickett.

    The key will be stopping them on first and second down and forcing Jackson to throw on 3rd and long. They will be tough to beat if they face 3rd and short the entire game. One thing we have in our favor is that Jackson at least once a game has one of his patented WTF turnovers.

    Good maybe it will force Tomlin to get some bigger defensive lineman in here. Also thats less money the Ravens can spend on Defense
