The Ravens will host their annual draft luncheon today, part of a busy week of draft planning and preparation for the organization.

The Ravens have nine overall picks in April's draft and they'll be on the clock three times in a five-pick span of the fourth round.

The Ravens agreed in principle with three-time Pro Bowl selection Eric Weddle on a four-year deal that could be worth as much as $29 million. The deal, according to sources, includes $13 million in guaranteed money and $9 million this season.

Free agent wide receiver Mike Wallace will visit the Ravens on Monday, per report.

Maryland is expected to hire Syracuse¿s Chris Beatty as its wide receivers coach, according to an SI.com report Sunday evening.

With a team many believed to be among the best in the NFL struggling at two key positions, the Ravens have turned to the rare in-season trade to bolster their roster. Trades for cornerback Will Davis and wide receiver Chris Givens since the season began represent the latest way the Ravens are trying to fill out their roster by solid scouting. They join a growing number of NFL teams who this year are looking to other teams' rosters for players they think can contribute — and who are

Hey Cole Beasley, you're going to be in high demand in fantasy football this week. You, too, Donte Moncrief.

Near the end of training camp about a year ago, Will Ulmer sat down with head coach Randy Edsall at the University of Maryland to talk to him about switching from quarterback to wide receiver.

One of the key figures behind Kansas City Chiefs outside linebacker Justin Houston's blockbuster $101 million six-year contract is former Morgan State strong safety and Deer Park Middle school coach and teacher Greg Barnett.

The prevailing thought is that the Ravens are in desperate need of a wide receiver, but the guy who created that void doesn't see it that way.

As many free agents selected a new home or agreed to stay at their old one, the Ravens didn't resolve any of their key questions over the weekend.

Andre Johnson fits the profile of the type of wide receiver the Ravens have added in the past, but would adding him really make sense?

For around 15 hours Saturday, Shawne Merriman was at the Big Ten Network building in Chicago watching, evaluating and talking about the conference's football games.

Now that the NFL season is here, I'm putting a twist on my weekly Blogger on Blogger series. Each week, I hope to enlist a blogger who regularly writes about the Ravens' opponent to help me break down the game. This week, I exchanged emails with Christopher Gates, who blogs about the Vikings for The Daily Norseman.

The Baltimore Ravens know they have to account for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb at all times Sunday. Whether he is lined up in the slot, the backfield or somewhere else, Cobb is a playmaker that the Packers use all over the field to create mismatches.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have listed Denard Robinson as an offensive weapon on their team website. So who might the Baltimore Ravens classify as their offensive weapon if they were to do such a thing?

Tavon Austin was selected eighth overall by the St. Louis Rams, who made a trade with the Buffalo Bills to draft him in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft.

Now that we know that Tavon is heading to St. Louis, let¿s take a look at how he will fit with the Rams.

Austin is quick to admit being a first-round pick probably wouldn't have been the case a few years ago, when NFL teams wouldn't have coveted a 5-foot-8, 174-pound receiver who did most of his damage out the slot, no matter how slippery he was in the open field.

The NFL's annual pre-draft meat market wraps up Tuesday, but one of the players generating the most buzz at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis was former Dunbar star Tavon Austin. His 4.34 in the 40-yard dash Sunday validated the gigabytes of electrifying game tape the wide receiver compiled at West Virginia. Will he be there when the Ravens pick?

Even though he grew up an hour away from College Park, Richy Anderson wasn't always destined to play football at Maryland.

Fantasy Fodder: Fantasy All-Stars for the 2011 NFL season

We will all scrutinize about our fantasy lineups more than ever in the fantasy playoffs, and that has less to do with us wanting to win our league and more to do with us not wanting to end up losing because we benched the wrong player. The best advice: Always, always, always start your best players.

Fellow owners of Hakeem Nicks, I feel your pain. I can also relate to what you're going through if you own Greg Jennings, Reggie Wayne or even Anquan Boldin. Those fantasy maestros have been outscored by second fiddles this season with Victor Cruz leading the way.

Five Things We Learned: Tony Romo can't deliver in pressure situations

Let's jump in the time machine and flash back in time to the early 2000s when Tom Cruise wasn't a known crazy person, "Freedom Fries" were an innovation in redneck culinary circles and men under the age of 40 wearing visors in public was considered to be socially acceptable. Thanks to Al Gore's Internet invention, fantasy football was starting to blow up -- and we were advised to select running backs with our first 13 or so picks.
