Yes the Washington pick helped my slipping faith in the orginization...

I acually like the Ray Rice pick the more I think about it, He gives us a very solid backup behind McGahee, something we never really had. Musa's very injury prone and I never really liked Ross. P.J. never showed anything and I think him and Musa should be let go. Ross and Allen Patrick, who I also like should fight it out for the 3rd string spot. just my 2 cents

Musa is gone. He's a FA and if he hasn't been brought back at this point he's not coming back period.

any reports from the mini camps on how the rookies are performing? i know oniel cousins got in that fight, but id love to hear how guys like flacco are producing

The 3rd spot will be between Pj Daniels, Cory Ross and Allen Patrick. Cory Ross, in my opinion is Cory Ross is the odd man out in the competition. Ray & Cory are somewhat similar players (small and physical). We have to remember that Pj Daniels was drafted in the 4th round for some reason. It's just that injuries have slowed him down. The job is open for Patrick or Daniels to win.

Personally I like Allen Patrick more than I like Ross/Rice/Daniels.

I heard that Flacco was the best QB during the mini camp. He was making some really nice throws while leading the offense. One was a 60 yard bomb that hit Clayton in stride. I'm sure he still had the rookie mistakes that are expected.

[Ravens1991]

Ross can be a scat back that Rice isnt.

[Yung Flippa]

Well, Scott gave us a C+ in the draft. what do you guys think about that?

P.S.
This place is like DEAD!

[BmoreBlackByrdz]

I think a C+ is a good grade for us. I mean I did expect a much better draft class but when I give it more thought I really don't mind it that much. We did add alot of quality depth and our special teams unit should be amazing with guys like Gooden, Zbikowski, and Namakuru(sp*), added to a group with players like Figurs, Stills, and Brandon Ayanbadejo. The only picks I didnt like were David Hale and Justin Harper, I also thought we coulda got somebody else instead of Allen Patrick. 08-09 year is going to be interesting.

True that dude.

[Ravens1991]

I think a C+ is alright grade

[America]

and Flacco just got signed, 5 years - max 30 million with something like 8.75 million guaranteed.

[Yung Flippa]

That's a good thing he'll be on time. That contract sounds good and reasonable, unlike a certain Matt Ryan.

[BmoreBlackByrdz]

Yeah, its nice to see Flacco isnt all about the money.
