Danand Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Seriously, I go in here as well as twitter yesterday and ask everyone to calm their nerves, because we don't go out and overspend in free agency and throw doollars at the big names. I go to sleep for 6 hours, and wake up to this. Thats just not ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamKid Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 This draft class is loaded with the same type of receiver. I don't know why they did this! KeKe Coutee?, Trey Quinn?, GTFO of here. This team has good depth at multiple key positions, CB, DI, G, EDGE. What would be so wrong with us just loading up on some receivers in the DRAFT?

MKnight82 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Sorry guys, he's a typical #4 WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, we'll prolly just use him in some super unique way that showcases his true ability. Baltimore's WR game is on point brotha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to be worth this contract, given the rising salaries at he position, Ryan Grant would need to be like one of the better number 2 WRs in the NFL. So a guy who gets 750-900 yards a year. He's never had more than a 4 game stretch at that level. I guess maybe it has SOME chance of happening, with improvement and increased usage. He seems to have some quickness and hands. The decision to make that bet is just bad though. Why not just project with an actual draft pick. It's clear that they wanted guys with speed/quickness instead of the normal guys we get who played at a high level but have lost a step. It's again the type of thing we should have gambled on with draft prospects. It's basically like we are signing older draft picks. That's fine and even good for 1 yr 5M, but for 4 yrs 29m... I'm a bit shocked by the numbers on this. I will suggest that we wait to see full structure, though, as the Hurst deal was significantly over-reported w/r/t guarantees.

RavensTillIDie Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I just want to say, taking a step back. As a guy who probably knows a little more about Ryan Grant than your average NFL fan due to the countless hours of research I put in during fantasy football season (lol), I actually like him as a player. And even from the perspective of what he did on the field and how he looks in games, he's a good/reliable receiver with the potential to do more given an expanded role and higher target volume. With that said, no amount of water in the world could turn that awful contract into a glass half full situation. I get that wide receivers have been getting PAID this offseason, but I find it HIGHLY dubious that we couldn't of had Ryan Grant for cheaper than 4 years at 29M.

M.10.E Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 I hate this WR class, but I would've rather just picked a WR in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 It's kind of funny how we always seem to mostly get one type of receiver every time we reset. First old, slow, but great possession guys. Didn't work in Cam Cameron's run a straight line offense? Let's try size/speed burners. Didn't work in a super short throw offense? Let's try small quick guys now.

RavensfanRD Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 So apparently we just dodged a bullet on the Grant deal as he failed his physical. Should I milly rock now or later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we're in the Crabtree hunt. Definitely an upgrade over Grant I'd say, but not a huge fan of the move either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
