With this signing, some are questioning whether Baltimore will now look to other areas early in the 2019 NFL Draft.Short answer: No. Congrats, I’m not going to drag this out for another four paragraphs to answer the question you already knew. But if you’d like to stick around and read why, I’d certainly appreciate it.First, Seth Roberts isn’t the number one receiver that turns this offense into a scoring machine. He’s a good receiver — no doubt— but he’s not the star Baltimore has endlessly searched for. In truth, I’m excited to see Roberts on the Ravens. He’s a skilled receiver who consistently puts up 40 catches, 450 yards and three touchdowns.Second, I doubt anybody that’s been signed has changed the draft strategy for the offense Cheap Justice Hill Jersey , and I’m including Earl Thomas. Eric DeCosta is an Ozzie Newsome disciple. He’s studied and mentored behind one of the NFL’s best General Managers in history and also been his top co-counsel for years. The draft strategy is often ‘best player available’ and that won’t be changed by any addition, from Mark Ingram, Thomas and Roberts to the re-signing of Robert Griffin III or Nick Boyle.Finally, there are still needs on the roster and the signing of Roberts only moves the needle from red to yellow. The Ravens now have a solid WR2 with Roberts and quite possibly the best slot receiver this team has ever featured with Willie Snead IV, but even with these two compliments on the roster, there is a true need for a number one receiver. Somebody to not only move the chains, but become a threat to score early and often. The Ravens know of these players as the AFC North has featured superstar receivers for years with Antonio Brown, A.J. Green Justice Hill Baltimore Ravens Jersey , Josh Gordon and the newest addition, Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr. This strongly suggests that if a receiver like D.K. Metcalf or Parris Campbell were to still be on the board at 22, Baltimore will make the pick. Debrief: Ravens’, Pack’s losses among most humbling of Week 9 - Gregg RosenthalA Super Bowl championship seems to be a lofty expectation for the 2018 Ravens. Nonetheless, a brief playoff appearance may not be enough for John Harbaugh to keep his job.Start Lamar Jackson? Ravens rolling with Joe Flacco for now - Jamison HensleyJackson’s presence on the field has opened up the run game. And while Lamar has thrown some wildly inaccurate passes, Flacco has not been a model of accuracy either. Pulling Flacco from the field completely for a series per half is a viable strategy.Five Issues for Ravens to Fix During the Bye - Clifton BrownThe Ravens still rank first in total defense. However, their run defense has tumbled to 7th in yards allowed per carry, 9th in yards allowed per game and 11th in rushing touchdowns surrendered. 2019 NFL Draft order Womens Justice Hill Jersey , team needs: Raiders No. 1; Pack in top 15 - Dan ParrEric DeCosta should strongly consider re-signing Za’Darius Smith and John Brown. If the Ravens release Joe Flacco, Jimmy Smith and Eric Weddle, they will have about $60 million in disposable cap space (roughly 10th most in the league), but the list of impending free agents from outside the organization is largely unimpressive.
