Phillips, Dean, and Reed are pretty rough losses for the one side of the team that looked elite last year. You can justify Dean with having Campbell already and Dean being injured a lot, and Phillips was an overpay by Carolina, but Reed is a bit tougher to replace as the best guy on the team currently would be Coop, but then slot corner becomes an issue.

We have one safety now and I would have enjoyed keeping Reed but he was limited athletically but was excellent at reading the game.

Reed was good. Never a pro bowler in 4 years. Never considered among the top safeties in the league. Theyāre gonna resign Epps. Then draft someone and maybe a 1 year deacon someone cheap. Reed is beloved but not all that.

Idk man. Ravens lost two of their best players in their punter and center, and they overpaid for a player who is incredible - but almost 30. In my opinion they got absolutely fleeced in that trade he was not worth two firsts

LMFAO š
and they overpaid for a player who is incredible
Thatās arguable, Iād say it was a win win. No one got fleeced. But that was a trade. Not free agency
Youāre on crack if you think overpaying for a decent punter and above average center (not even gonna touch the fact you think they were two of our best players) would have been smarter moves than two firsts for Crosby

Other than lamar and henry obviously. You had the literal best punter in the league and a top 10 center. You wouldnt consider players of that caliber to be two of your best players? You guys are weak in several positions on both sides of the ball. And two firsts for an edge that isnt miles garret just seems like a stretch to me idk. No need to be defensive Iām not hating - just calling it how I see it

Best punter in the league is a stretch. He was mediocre his first few years and great last year. Classic for the ravens tbh. Player is OK for a couple years, balls out in final year of contract, then gets overpaid elsewhere and underperforms. Time will tell.
Top 10 for Lindy is fair. I said heās above average. But the raiders still overpaid him.
just seems like a stretch to me idk
Thatās a very different take than āravens got absolutely fleecedā lol. You also say heās incredible but almost 30, so not worth 2 firsts, then imply Garrett is worth 2 firsts but heāll be 31 before next season is over. Iām not trying to say Crosby is the same as Garrett, but it seems like age isnāt actually your factor here, and the ravens got the best edge rusher on the market. No player that was available at 14 in this yearās draft or (hopefully) late 20s-to-32 of next yearās draft will produce like he can.
Iām not defensive. Just laughing at your completely wild takes. Call it how you see it all you want š

I would say my original points are far from āwildā lol. Two firsts is pretty damn aggressive for one player regardless of the context. And like I said you guys needed those two firsts because you need help on the offensive line and your wide receiver room. I cant think of any of your DTs off the top of my head either. Also, why the hell did you guys pick mark andrews over Isiah likely?

Your original point was irrelevant because that wasnāt free agency. And when it includes that Lindy and stout (LOL) were two of our best players, yea thatās pretty wild
Pass rush was a huge hole and caused a lot of problems on defense in general. Youāre right we need OL help, but we also needed edge help. WR less so. Not saying our WRs are elite, but it wasnāt our problem last year.
Madabuike is an elite DT and itās looking like heāll be healthy next year, and Travis jones played a huge role in our defense. Just because you donāt pay attention to the team doesnāt mean every position group you canāt name is trash
Tried to sign Likely last year, he wanted out.

Middle of the first round in a draft without much top end talent and hopefully next year is basically a 2nd rounder. I'm not used to trading high picks, but this might actually work out.
