BALTIMORE RAVENS DEPTH CHART - OFFENSE Bold = Starter QB 1. Joe Flacco $14,550,000 2. Derek Anderson $510,000 QB Total: $15,060,000 Analysis:Clearly Joe Flacco is our starter. Derek Anderson is a reliable backup with a similar style of play to Flacco (pocket passer, decent deep ball, not very mobile, etc). The offense was built around Flacco's strengths which is deep and intermediate routes. This was not a position of need, aside from a reliable backup QB. RB/FB 1. Isaiah Crowell $510,000 2. Jeremy Langford $570,880 3. Christine Michael $920,299 4. Zac Stacy $629,125 1. Kyle Juszczyk $660,146 RB Total: $3,290,450 Analysis: This was a position the Ravens were looking to completely revamp and Fullback Kyle Juszczyk is the only player left in the backfield from the inherited roster. Unfortunately, Fullback will not be a staple of the offense. What we wanted was a contrasting style of backs. Crowell will bring a more elusive back while Langford and Michael will bring a more physical style with above average speed. Langford is the guy we thinkcould eventually take the role but until hes ready Crowell and Michael will be placeholders with the ability to give the Ravens a thunder and lightning type backfield. WR/TE 1. Mike Wallace $12,100,000 2. Nelson Agholor $713,818 3. Brian Hartline $950,000 4. Cody Latimer $842,875 5. Ted Ginn $4,000,000 6. Mike Campanaro $526,875 1. Jace Amaro $975,681 2. Maxx Williams $1,531,091 3. Crockett Gilmore $636,504 4. Luke Wilson $629,633 WR/TE Total: $22,906,477 AnalysisAs we mentioned earlier, the offense is going to play vertically but we're going to incorporate 2 seam stretching TE's in the starting line up and 2 reserves who can supply similar skills. 1st round draft pick, Maxx Williams, was a major priority because of the offensive philosophy of the team. A young group that features 2 second year guys and a top rookie at his position, the nuances of the position will have to be worked out but the pass catching skills are top of the line. The loss of Dennis Pitta and Owen Daniels may hurt the run game a bit but it will be made up for with players that can get downfield and supply more speed and athleticism. A similar philosophy will take our receivers up another level. Losing Steve Smith's work ethic and competitive nature and leadership isnt something we wanted to do but we did need to get younger at the position. Wallace and Ginn will stretch the field vertically when theyre on the field giving the Ravens an element of scary deep speed. Ahgolor, Hartline and Latimer will work the middle of the field while Hartline tried to avoid the turf monster. Ginn will also handle KR/PR duties OL LT. Andrus Peat $1,260,364 LG. Mike Iupati $8,000,000 C. Stefan Wisniewski$10,000,000 RG. Larry Warford $849,250 RT. Ricky Wagner $621,140 OT. Eric Winston $710,000 OG. Daryn Colledge $510,000 C. John Urschel $546,140 OL Total: $22,496,894 AnalysisThe OL was a good unit last year but this Ravens staff values the interior OL as much as the tackles hence the heavy investment at the Center and Guards. We picked up a young all pro at RG in Larry Warford who will give the Ravens a great right side next to young stud Ricky Wagner. At Center Steve Wisniewski is a very strong option who can anchor well vs the pass and get out to the second level in the run game. The left side feature multi time pro bowl Left Guard Mike Iupati and rookie mammoth tackle Andrus Peat who was stolen in the late first round. A tall line with great length and reach, the major advantage this Ravens group will have is split by side. The right side is run blockers who are powerful while the left side is more of a pass blocking line while the center is a solid two way player DEPTH CHART - DEFENSE - 3-4 DL DE1. Haloti Ngata $16,000,000 NT1. Brandon Williams $713,750 DE2. Timmy Jernigan $996,114 DE3. Mike DeVito $1,750,000 DE4. Randy Starks $3,250,000 NT2. Kenrick Ellis $850,000 NT3. DeAngelo Tyson $671,898 DE5. Kevin Vickerson $510,000 DL Total: $24,741,762 Analysis:The Ravens defensive line is a dominant unit that offers versatile players who can fit different roles and even scheme versatility if we ever wanted to migrate to a 4-3 look in speed rush sets or a 5-2 look in jumbo sets. Closed End 5 technique Haloti Ngata is a dominant run stuffer who has lost a little pass rush over the years and youngsters Brandon Williams and Timmy Jernigan show great promise. Jernigan had a handful of sacks in a reserve role as a rookie and will play as an Open End 3 technique while Williams will play directly over the offensive center as a true nose tackle in a 0 technique. Kenrick Ellis will be a direct sub for Williams with Starks as the emergency spare nose tackle. Devito is the direct sub for Ngata and while hes about 50 pounds lighter, hes still an excellent run defender. Starks will be the direct sub for Jernigan and we believe in a reduced role he can still be a highly effective player. The rest will compete for spare snaps. LB OLB1. DeMarcus Ware $8,666,666 OLB2. Terrell Suggs $6,200,000 ILB1. Daryl Smith $3,875,000 ILB2. Karlos Dansby $5,500,000 ILB3. Courtney Upshaw $1,685,313 ILB4. Jon Beason $1,250,000 OLB3. Arthur Brown $969,336 OLB4. Geneo Grissom $481,685 LB Total: $28,628,000 Analysis: Suggs and Ware are as formidable a pass rushing duo as you can find anywhere in the GM League. Dansby and Smith provide a contrasting finesse (Dansby) and thumper (Smith) mentality inside as this unit loves to hit offensive players and punish them in the middle of the field. Arthur Brown and rookie Geneo Grissom who are developmental players who will see backup snaps and special teams work. DB's CB1. Jimmy Smith $6,898,000 CB2. Darius Slay $1,442,537 CB3. Cary Williams $3,250,000 CB4. Terrence Newman $510,000 CB5. Rashaan Melvin $585,000 FS1. Will Hill $3,270,000 SS1. Michael Griffin $8,100,000 SS2. Darian Stewart $850,000 FS2. Terrence Brooks $676,594 SS3. Antonio Allen $510,000 DB's Total: $26,092,131 Analysis: This might be the deepest unit in the entire GM League on any team at any position. 5 deep at CB with a 6th guy, the versatile Antonio Allen who can play CB, FS or SS. Slay and Smith are the physical starters with Cary Williams in the slot giving the Ravens a physical trio that will see the bulk of the playing time. Vet Terrence Newman is still effective and can play inside or outside. Rashaan Melvin has talent but is still developing but was tendered as an ERFA. Will Hill and Michael Griffin are the starting safeties with Darian Stewart and Terrence Brooks as the reserves. Brooks can start for a lot of teams as he flashed his potential as a rookie in 2014. Stewart can take over whenever Griffin has a down year which seems to be every other year which means this one should be an all pro year for Griffin. Its primarily a cover 2 man scheme that will mix in some cover 3 Zone and cover 2 off man. Special Teams Sam Koch $510,000 Mike Nugent $510,000 Special Teams Totals: $1,020,000 Analysis: Losing Justin Tucker hurt, no lie, but that was a couple of million for a kicker which just doesnt happen in the GM League. Mike Nugent is adequate for a video game offense that will have real life results. Sam Koch was trade, released and brought back for the minimum which is 1/6th of his original salary. Payroll: $144,235,714 Dead Money: $424,007 Total: $144,659,721 O/Under: $5,340,279
