I didn't think he'd have success, but the Ravens have a history of their 2nd guy drafted at a position they already drafted in the same draft paying off. Most recently, Hayden Hurst and then they took Mark Andrews. Then further back, Ed dikkson and then they took Dennis Pita.

Edit: I know it's early in their careers, but add to that list Patrick Queen and then they take Malik Harrison. Harrison has the size and physicality that almost every team looks for in a MLB. Queen has looked soft and outmatched, but he has made some splash plays. However, I think Malik will be the better LB whether he stays a Raven or goes elsewhere.

I just hope between Oweh and Hayes, the Ravens have drafted atleast one dynamic pass rusher that will be around for many years to come.

Glad Ar'Darius is doing well and it's getting noticed. The Ravens need a true FS and WHEN he makes the team, they need to get him on the field on defense immediately because they're going to need him against KC.

fukk that prove it on special teams shyt. If they're worried about his durability because of his size, they need to watch his snap count and put him on the field when he's most needed.

I don't think I said this, but it seems like the Ravens took some gambles this draft. Bateman, Cleveland, Mason and Hayes are some of the more solid picks. Some of the other guys either have injury history or production issues.

Oweh didn't produce any sacks in 2020.

Stephens transferred and had some coverage concerns coming out.

Wallace had a major knee injury and may not be fully healed.

Wade had major coverage concerns after being asked to cover outside, but if he comes out in 2019, he wouldve been a 1st round pick.

Ozzie seemed to be more subtle when taking these high risk, high reward guys. Nothing wrong with what Decosta is doing. I've been wanting the Ravens to take more chances of the draft and free agency.

Do they need to bring in Houston, Ingram, Kerrigan or a combination of them to rush the passer or do yall think they should let Bowser, McPhee, Ferguson, Oweh and Hayes cook for a lil bit?

Personally, I'd bring in Houston and Kerrigan. Ingram got injured last season if memory serves me right, he's never had to be the only pass rusher offenses had to worry about.

Houston was the guy in KC and Indy and still was putting up numbers. Kerrigan is a play maker and was doing it in Washington when they had Orakpo and even after he left.

I think if one of those pass rushers gets hurt, the Ravens are signing Houston. Don't know if they'll bring in Kerrigan or Ingram too.

I have been on the Kerrigan train from day 1, but I would like to see them roll with what they have first. Just to see if the guys from last year have improved. Im a big fan of Harrison and think is is going to make a jump.
