Idunno. I can see our Rd1 stars - easy to find: Herbie, DJ, Joey, Slater, Zion, Mdub. Who are our 2nd round stars on the roster? ASJ? Who else? Yes teams find stars in later rounds, but the probability that teams pick washouts and never-where’s increases in every round of the draft.
How many washout bad draft pick roster spots could be filled with near-league min salary FAs who at least the team knows can play a little? Because the other problem with more rookie draft picks is the team feels overly obligated to keep them on the roster and at least try and “develop” them - plenty of draft picks that never did dick but hung on for years just because they were a draft pick. We’ve got a couple draft picks on the roster right now that never did a thing or did next to nothing.
I can see it both ways - i just don’t automatically buy into the quantity argument."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

not automatic, I wrote, “it depends on the draft” drafts are all different, so it's good to be flexible with how you approach any given draft, this is not my own thinking, this is me following closely what the ravens have been doing for 20 plus years, sometimes they trade a lot to move up and other times they trade down to accumulate picks, what do we do? We do the same shit every draft with the occasional trade up, TT has hit on some #1 picks although if I recall a lot of people were convinced MWs was a bust as recently as 2020, joey hasn’t exactly lit it up recently either, and I’ve read a LOT of posts on here folks talking about how overrated DJ is…one thing is for sure, have those three come anywhere near to earning the money they are being paid?
I mean, what he has done for 10 years hasn't worked
I am not ready to give up on DJ but Bosa and Williams are fine players -- but not top shelf difference makers that I can see

I would agree about the base roster
except for that playmaker on offense - with some juice and sizzle to make plays - they don't have that now
but the rest - I agree - they have enough to start the season
fill in with the draft and a few more cheap veterans

I agree, but it’s not just him, jojo is all up in his…..so it’s hard to know exactly what TT is responsible for and what he isn’t…I might not like Staley as a DC but his positive influence on the roster either thru FA signings, trades, and the draft during the last two years is undeniable…
I saw a list today of the WRs drafted by Telesco -- speed was not a priority

I am actually pulling for Telesco - I want him to succeed. But between he and John Boy - just not sure how good of a tandem they are

Jalen Guyton has speed too but it isn't that good, and he's likely to not be retained.

Guyton is nice - but also kind of a aJAG type
They need to make it a priority

As for needing a speedy WR - Carter has signed with the Broncos so the need is even greater now. Jalen Guyton may not be back so it looks like we completely lack speed.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!
