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 Authentic Justin Tucker Jersey , 450 yards and three touchdowns.Second, I doubt anybody that’s been signed has changed the draft strategy for the offense, 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 Brent Urban Jersey 2019 , 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, 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 White Brent Urban Jersey , Baltimore will make the pick. Marshal Yanda has enough contract to run through the 2020 season, which only really assures he’ll be out there this season.But the longtime Ravens guard said he had his doubts about his future last offseason, as he came back from a second surgery on his right shoulder.“Last year, if I did end the season on IR, I probably was going to retire,” Yanda said on the team’s “The Lounge” podcast. “You don’t want to push your body too much. I love this game and it’s the reason I play it Brandon Williams Jersey 2019 , because I really love doing it. But you don’t want to get to that point where you’re too beat up by the game.”Not only did he not end up on IR, he played back to his previous level, earning his seventh Pro Bowl honor, and he said his confidence grew as the season went along.“My mind is still, . . . I love to play, I love to compete Trace McSorley Baltimore Ravens Jersey , I love to wake up on Sunday morning ready to get after somebody’s you know what,” Yanda said. “That fire is still there. But I also understand that body is very important as well.”The Ravens are building their roster to run this year, with Greg Roman promoted to offensive coordinator, and the addition of running back Mark Ingram, so having Yanda healthy and ready will be a big part of their plans.
