Yeah this is actually new grounds for Baltimore

Very much feels like they are going all in with Lamar now

And the Bears made what, one playoff appearance after trading two firsts for Mack? Thereā€™s just no correlation between a move like that and more winning. And yeah, the GB defense looked great when he was healthy, but the possibility that they get hurt is one of the downsides.

The last two Super Bowls champs had literal waves of good defensive linemen. Feels kinda crazy to see that and want to put all eggs in one basket.

But then again Iā€™d rather do that than depend on the Marcus Davenportā€™s of the world but thereā€™s a middle ground

Two firsts between this year and next. That was my idea. Good for Baltimore.

If this guy was young and healthy, totally worth it. Not a 1 trick glorified Cliff Avril like that guy in GB. But heā€™s had more surgeries than Bols has had grannies this week.

If he was on a rookie contract I would say great move for the Ravens. You are giving up the two 1st round picks and you still have to pay him and he is not cheap. Itā€™s like you just signed a FA to a huge deal and you have to part with the draft picks as well.

Will be interested to see if he gets a new contract.

On a good note I think this means they wonā€™t be bringing Linderbaum back. Iā€™d rather pay him and not give up any draft picks.

There is no way in hell Iā€™d give up two first round picks for Crosby. I like him, but look at what happened to Micah Parsons and he was young and healthy

I donā€™t expect it to happen, but it could happen. Linderbaum, Ratledge and Sewell holding down the center-right at a VERY high level for the next 5-7 at very least? Use a 1st or 2nd on a LT (or possibly RT). Have Frazier and Mahogany battle it out for supremacy at LG?

Nice.

Yea quite the gamble by the Ravens. Guess they are all in to win now. Henry is old. With Lamarā€™s style of play, his window only has a few years left

I think Linderbaum is going to get paid a lot more than what a good center is worth but I want to see an O-Line that is a lot better than what we were running out there last year.

They overpaid but they definitely needed pass rush help. Last year they were shockingly bad given their talent level.

Holy shit, that was a hell of a lot to give up. I wanted Crosby here but not for that much. He didnā€™t go to an NFC North team which is a win for the Lions.

I remember when we traded one 1st for a game changing DE, ended up being a horrible trade for us. And Swilling was only 27.

Raiders got the #14 pick this yearā€¦

and a coveted 1st in the 2027 draft that is considered to be the best in decades.

.

That is a HUGE return.
