Smith to Ravens

[BaBaBlacksheep]

2nd and a 5th is pretty solid return. Sends a pretty bad message to the team though - they are mailing it in

Does it matter though? 2/3rds of them will be gone.

I was refreshing twitter all day because I had a feeling he was going to be traded.

He’s a LB (who isn’t an edge rusher) looking to make 20+ million a year. A team isn’t going to give up multiple higher round picks and then have to pay him what he is demanding.

Funny thing that’s happening now: Everyone outside of Chicago is saying Bears got fleeced and just lost one of the best LBs in the league.

Where were these people when Roquan was getting passed up (undeservedly so) for pro bowls and all pro voting every year?

Good luck to the Ravens front office having to negotiate two massive contracts with players with no agent.

Good point. ?

Lol when i first saw it i literally texted my dad “please dont be like a 2nd and 5th” and…pow.

It’s not terrible.. but i was hoping like a 2nd and a 3rd or 4th even.

Eddie jackson next? He has been rejuvenated this year. 29 in december.

Holy shit!!!

A second and a fifth aren’t bad.

Big Poles isn’t going to let anything get in the way of his tank.

I really hoped they we would keep Roquan. I really did. This one hurts. Ouch.

E. Jax is next.

Unfortunately, I really don’t think you’re wrong.

Impressed they were able to get a 2nd for him. Good job by Poles

Wish it was a better haul, but I doubt Poles turned down better offers. I'll miss Roquan, and I don't like the number of younger players that Poles has gotten rid of, but we will see in 2-3 years if this pays off. I just hope Poles can draft his ass off.

What younger players did he get rid of besides Roquan?

2nd and 5th is great compensation for a dude that was playing well at times, but wants to be paid like he's the best LB in the league.

I think it’s a function of people generally not understanding the value of picks vs. players in the trade market.

I liked Smith?

• Roquan has not looked elite this year.
• We were not going to sign him to the deal he wanted.
• This is not a bad return.
• The Ravens are going to have to spend a lot.
• We now have nine picks, six in the first four rounds.
• We can see what else we have on the DEF now.
• DEF has not looked good with Quan and Quinn playing.
• With those picks we can address 3T DT, OL, and WR with elite players.
• And with the extra picks we can work on improving the DEF.
• I like it. Would I have loved more? Sure. I like the move.

Saint Omni is on the case.

Now he gotta hit. Fucking Pace would miss on all the high picks but pick up average players in the 5th

I think the national media looks at his numbers whereas bears fans have actually been watching him underperform
