Getting PJW, Breaux, Kikaha, Sanford, Webb and Swann back from IR throws a lot of talent into the mix. And we likely re-sign Kyle Wilson, Kruger, Mauti, Moore among others

And with the additions of Okafor and Klein our front 7 looks better, and free-agency isn't over yet.

And this is all before we even draft in a freakishly deep defensive draft with 4 picks in the 1st 3 rounds.

No, we aren't exactly the 2000 Ravens, but its looking up.

What would it take to be the 2000 Ravens?

Sign Butler, Barnett DE at 11, TJ Watt LB at 32 and Fabian Moreau CB at 42 gets us really close!

A mean MF'er like Reuben Foster would be a good start!

First we'd have to get Bellick out of the broadcast booth and back onto the field. That would be an amazingly great thing for football fans everywhere, but not so great for the Whodat nation....
