Since we had a night game last night at Ed Smith Stadium, we really only had time to read the headlines about the deal that brought Anquan Boldin to the Ravens. Clearly, these are exciting times at The Castle.
It looks like Ozzie Newsome just got tired of everyone telling him he had to fix the receiver corps. The acquistion of Boldin and Donte Stallworth give the Ravens a much more dangerous passing game and should help Joe Flacco take another big developmental step. The Ravens seem determined to be a perenniel playoff team and Super Bowl contender. What more could their fans ask?
Well, I suppose they could ask for Brandon Marshall, but I agree with Mike Preston that it makes far more sense to give up later-round picks for Boldin than to take yourself out of the front end of a draft for Marshall -- who has some issues that could come back to haunt the franchise.
