AngusMcFife Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Time to take a look at how the roster is shaping up. If I'm missing any UDFAs I can update. QB (2 or 3) Lock: L. Jackson Bubble: T. McSorely, T Huntley - Both McSorely and Huntley could make the team, or one could get cut. RB (3) Locks: Edwards, Dobbins, Hill Longshot: T. Williams, N. McCrary - No drama here TE/FB (4) Locks: Andrews, Boyle, Ricard, B. Mason (R) Longshot: Breeland, Oliver, Tomlinson, Wolf, T. Poljan (UDFA) - We'll probably keep 2 longshots on the PS. WR (5 or 6) Locks: M. Brown, Watkins, Bateman (R), Duvernay, Wallace (R) Bubble: Boykin, Proche Longshot: B. Victor (UDFA), J. Moore, D. Cain, Sylencieux (UDFA) - Lot's of young competition here. IOL (5) Locks: Bozeman, Mekari, Zeitler, Cleveland (R) Bubble: Powers, Bredeson, Colon Longshot: Mancz, S. Cooper - Interesting to see how they sort out LG and C. OT (4?) Locks: Stanley, Villanueva, T. Phillips Bubble: Andre Smith Longshot: Ealy, Sarell - Man group feels light. I think we may need to sign 2 players. DL (6) Locks: B. Williams, Madubuike, Campbell, Wolfe, J. Ellis Bubble: X. Kelly (UDFA), B. Washington Longshot: Hoyett, Crawford - Hopefully young guys like Kelly or Washington earn a spot. EDGE (5) Locks: Bowser, Ferguson, McPhee, Oweh (R), D. Hayes (R) Longshot: Rivers, Adeoye - No drama, unless the Ravens add a FA like Justin Houston. ILB (4) Locks: Queen, Fort, Harrison, Board Bubble: Alaka Longshot: Welch, Gallagher (UDFA) - No real drama CB (5) Locks: Humphrey, Peters, J. Smith, Averett Bubble: T. Young, I. Marshall Longshot: Dorsey, D. Harris, Westry - Marshall and Young need to show they can stay healthy S/DB (6) Locks: Clark, Elliot, Stephens (R), Wade (R), Levine Bubble: Stone, Warrior, Richards, A. Washington (UDFA) - Interesting to see what roles Stephans and Wade might play ST (3) Locks: Tucker, Koch, N. Moore - Hopefully Moore upholds the tradition.

Could definitely be our swing guy if he isn’t the guy at center 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp6488 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I don't think Young is on the bubble. Following his restructure, which lowered his total salary and cap hits for this year (so it wasn't just pushing money into future for benefit of present), it would actually cost MORE against the cap in 2021 were we to cut him this year. Could it happen if they think it's better to take the medicine now and free up money for next year? Sure. But I don't think it's particularly likely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I put him on the bubble because I feel like he is just as likely to have a season ending injury in training camp than he is to make the final 53. I'm not sure how much the Ravens can really rely on him being available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure its great he can fill in there. But he has a chance to have a long career playing C or G. I think he would be best suited to focus on honing his ability there rather than being a jack of all trades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just looking at what is on our roster right now and the best line we can roll out might include him at tackle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
