  3. Ravens news, notes and opinions

    As we head into Week Four of free agency, it&rsquo;s probably a good time to point out that the Ravens are currently just $1.75 million under the salary cap, which is probably right around the amount of money that they&rsquo;re going to need to pay their draft picks. There are certainly ways to gain financial flexibility. Signing quarterback <strong>Joe Flacco</strong> or running back <strong>Ray Rice</strong> or even cornerback <strong>Lardarius Webb </strong>to long-term contract extensions would help immensely. Restructuring a couple of contracts, like perhaps <strong>Ed Reed&rsquo;s</strong> deal, would also provide relief, though Ravens owner <strong>Steve Bisciotti</strong> has said on several occasions that he prefers not to resort to those measures. There is also the option of releasing some players, but as I&rsquo;ve said on numerous occasions, I just don&rsquo;t see any obvious candidates. Either way, the Ravens will figure out a way. They&rsquo;ll have to. They still have too many needs right now &ndash; pass rusher, veteran running back, wide receiver, two or three offensive linemen, kick returner, defensive line, linebacker and safety depth &ndash; to expect to fill all their holes in the draft.

  6. Finding a pass rusher is key for the Ravens

    Terrell Suggs took down a quarterback 14 times in 2011 as the Ravens ranked near the top of the NFL in most major defensive categories. The 2011 NFL Defensive Player of the Year wasn't exactly flying solo as he reached a career-high in sacks, but whenever opponents shut him down , as was the case in the final month of the season, the defense was merely good.

  7. Matt Vensel's 2012 NFL mock draft -- version 5.0

    Finally, after months of teams poking and prodding NFL draft prospects, scouts picking apart players they had previously pumped up, and media folks like me doing hours of homework trying to make sense of it all, the 2012 NFL draft is less than 48 hours away. I would be lying if I told you that part of me wasn&rsquo;t ready for all of this just to be over and done with, but still, draft weekend is easily my favorite weekend on the NFL calendar.

  9. Matt Vensel's 2012 NFL mock draft -- version 2.0

    After a wild first week in free agency that was punctuated with Peyton Manning signing with the Denver Broncos, we have a better idea of what needs teams will address in April&rsquo;s NFL draft. So now seems like a good time for our second mock draft of the offseason. (This mock draft does not account for potential trades.)
