Ellington - Who is saying he wont make the 53? Is anyone really thinking the team would choose a out of work for a year Lloyd over this guy? Crabs, Boldin, Johnson, Patton, Ellington, with Moore for ST. Whoever thinks this kid wont make the roster should put down the crack pipe.

I know who you meant I was just having fun, seems like theres so much doom and gloom about this draft and not picking up the fans priorities i was trying to have fun.

So far ive yet to hear any analyst say that any of our picks are reaches and could have been had later, or that our picks dont make any sense.

You need a ticket the show to have a chance. The more times you make the playoffs, the better your odds are of winning 1. The best team doesn't always win the superbowl.

With a roster as talented as ours, there is no need to go all in. With the way the playoffs are, you just need to get in and anything can happen. Hell, 1987 might be the greatest niner team ever and they got knocked out In their first game. '88 squad gets in with a 10-6 records and wins it all. Draft picks and cap control is the life blood of an nfl team, we seem to have a front office that understands this and is shooting for longevity.

Frank Gore, is not a big play runner, our O-line is not an inside out run line. We need to be able to continue to hammer the ball inside, but it is my hope that we are starting to look for O-linemen that are more athletic, and less road grader. It looks like (from readining bios and watching highlights) the guts we picked up are suited to this style of run game. I am hoping that Latimore, and this new kid can work inside out.
So in closing, no not worried about starters, worried about true depth, and a more varied offensive attack. We have filled needs through trade, and free agency, added depth through the draft, it looks like a great offseason to me, now if Kaep can just learn to spread the ball around, we won't stop at 6!

Fans complain we trade down not up, but do not mention Seahawks did the same thing. Or that the Patriots and Ravens have been contenders and essentially built a dynasties on this approach.
Fans want to land impact starters on a team that essentially has all it's starters penciled in.
Since when do the Ravens have a dynasty? LOL
They have been a dominant team and essentially an annual contender for nearly 15 years and have won 2 Super Bowls. If they are not a dynasty they were close to it.

This is what we have been talking about the entire off-season. The general consensus is Kap / Aldon will be paid, Crabs / Iupati will walk. We drafted Iupati's replacedment, but not Crabtree's.
The one thing missing from this draft is Crabs replacement, which is a little disappointing.

They traded for Crabs replacement.
