So, fun but predictable twist for the Ravens... RB1 Alvin Garrett has held out, and is completely unaffordable. 2,500 rushing yards the last two years as a serious workhorse...that's solid production at nearly 5 yards a pop.

So, if he's gone (likely), where are we?

Let's check out the draft with this in mind, since our RB2 already got cherrypicked away...

62.9

A better-than-usual draft for us, rated #25 out of 32? Awesome? (heh)

At RB, I think we will be fine... I'd expect something like a 60/40 split between the big orange Carl Naranjo (who looks like a solid, but high-elusiveness, RB1 to me), and Darien Farr who probably plugs into some satellite role, catching passes and maybe returning punts. I doubt we get 5ypc here, but we should be league average, maybe.

Top pick LB Chase Brock looks very solid to me, as a three-down guy probably suited to play Sam long term. For right now he will probably rotate into both ILB and OLB slots.

The rest? meh per usual...
