If you didn't realize today that our biggest need is for a stud DT...

[Snake]

Indeed.

Coefield

Spears

Mayben (seattle guy)

Nahytayaya

etc

DT fa group has some names worth looking at.

QB not so much

Holyshit Ngata would be nice.

[frash.exe]

the ravens are never going to let him walk

Holyshit Ngata would be nice.

A thread about getting a DT from somewhere and I have to sift through 11 pages of QB poo. And, behold, the last post in the thread when I finally get there mentions the same guy I mentioned a couple days ago, Haloti Ngata.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Don't get your hopes up, 31 other teams in the league are going to want Ngata.

Ozzie will give him a generous contract offer and he will take it

he won't make it to free agency

ozzie> marty.dt is a huge need but the fa dt's are not that bad looking.we must draft luck.....

Who are the DTs who will be free agents? Did anyone ever make a list of who why might want to target? I'm hoping Luck will come out, but from the interviews I've seen I think he's planning to graduate.

If you think our biggest need for DT you may be a hardcore fan...but you're also a moron.

True, but 31 other teams haven't been stockpiling money for a year.

Not saying the Ravens will let him walk, because they won't, but if he did somehow make it to FA, then I'd throw the house at him if I were Hurney. That guy could automatically improve the whole team by a few notches.

spears, ngata, jenkins, bowen, cesire, jolly, mebane, cofield just to name a few. those 3-4 de could be dt's that collapse the pocket in a 4-3. i like bowen and wonders what he could do in 4-3.

Jesus is Lord!

You sir deserve some pie!

If Luck doesn't enter the draft, the we could draft DT Nick Fairley, then pick up FA DT Haloti Gnata. I would probably have a heart attack.

...then you are a casual fan...

This is followed very closely by OL that can block and not get beat every single snap, and then a solid #2 WR that can get open and catch passes that hit him in the hands and face while in the endzone...

Seattle beat the hell out of us, right up the gut, in the second half... Almost every single time they took it up the gut, between the tackles, they ripped off at least 5 or 6 yards... You can thank perennial Pro Bowl selections Nick Hayden and Derek Landri for that... I don't fault Hardy as much on the end because he is a rookie playing beside high schoolers... Charles Johnson can't do it by himself...

All this talk about Luck is dumb when we have way bigger issues... I'd like to see any rookie, or seasoned vet for that matter, come in and complete passes when he has approximately 3 seconds to make a read before someone has penetrated the backfield... Until we fix OL and DT, our QB and defense in general will continue to be worn down/beat up, game after game...

You're right. We need a DT who can collapse the pocket consistently.

[Darth Urious]

Bizzump...

Not looking so dumb now to all those that are pumping the Fairley fist, am I?...

Even with all this, my opinion is Green>Fairley at this point, and should be the pick if we stay at #1...
