When Johnson found out he had been traded to Baltimore, it felt like he hit the lottery.

"Once I found out where I was going, I was excited," Johnson said. "Sigh of relief. I'm ready to work."

Can't say I blame him - I would want far away from this shitshow of a team also.

Curious to see if he will be a headcase for the Ravens though.

Diontae Johnson failed to catch his only target in the Ravens’ Week 12 win over the Chargers.
Johnson continues to be buried on the depth chart behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, with the team not even giving him usable snaps on a weekly basis due to their emphasis on heavy personnel groupings. His usage in Baltimore is quite the head-scratcher considering the team trading for his services before the trade deadline this year.

They got him for free if anything happens to either of the two top targets he’ll ascend right into a starting spot. Not a bad deal for them wish we could have worked things out with him we’d have a little more pop on offense but we’re better off in the long run and he wanted out in major way so everybody wins.

But he 3rd on the depth chart not 2nd. That's what the article is referring to. I'm not saying he wasn't a decent trade for them but many in Baltimore were upset they didn't aquire defensive help over a 3rd string receiver.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
