The Ravens have already checked off a few of their free agent priorities, but there's much left to do.

The Baltimore Ravens kept their seven inactives exactly the same for today's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The second week of free agency is usually where the Ravens start making some moves, and the week will start with wide receiver Mike Wallace in town.

Many of the top free agents have already signed new contracts or will do so today. But that doesn't mean there aren't any quality free agent options left for the Ravens.

On a day where money changed hands at a dizzying rate both before and after the free-agent market opened at 4 p.m., the Ravens stayed mostly quiet, but set themselves up to make moves in the days ahead.

Free agency doesn't start until Wednesday, but teams can start discussing contracts with pending unrestricted free agents at noon today.

NFL fan mock draft

The scouting combine and most pro day workouts have been completed, and with the NFL draft just a few weeks away, there has been a significant amount of shuffling in my third NFL mock draft of the offseason. So who will the Ravens pick?

The Ravens have a few things on their shopping list for the NFL draft, but the top prospects will be scooped up by the time they step up to the podium for pick No. 26. But what if the Ravens somehow were handed the top pick in the draft?

The 2010 NFL season is over and it's unclear if and when the 2011 season will start, but I have good news for Ravens fans (well, besides the Steelers losing to the Packers in the Super Bowl). That's right, it's mock draft season.
