Okay, let's have a semi-public meander through the Ravens roster, shall we? It's been a while...

Norris, Kim 115 QB 7 45 47 ---
Stancil, Marty 111 QB 5 25 28 4 yrs.
Campbell, Albert 125 QB 10 12 12 1 yr.
Scribner, Oliver 105 QB 9 7 10 ---
Okay, so... I'm married to and still in honeymoon mode with Stancil, who grades out as having an Avoid INterceptions rating of EIGHT out of 100. Love it. Gunslinger. YOLO. FotzMagic. Callit what you want. I'm in. The others are just window dressing... I have been carrying 3-4 affinity QBs on my heavy chem teams, and I like that for now. Expect more of the same.

McFarlane, Miles 233 RB 6 31 31 ---
Spaulding, Amari 338 FB 2 30 43 1 yr.
The Big Orange remains a solid RB1 for one more contract year, and I am basically fine with this group on talent. Chem, not so much - Naranjo is the 70/85 leader and doesn't connect with the QB... so I'd like to bring in a carcass to fix that if I can.

Palmer, Jose 448 TE 8 62 62 2 yrs.
Makofske, Van 446 TE 2 32 39 3 yrs.
Cole, Elijah 447 TE 3 31 33 ---
Palmer gave us north of 8 ypt, so he's the go-to guy. Makofske likely doesn't have the makings of a legit TE2 (where I tend to send 60-80 targets) so I'd like to improve there. We lost our chem leader, too... though we have a wonderful lady in waiting for that job if he's ready. #LongSnapperConvert

Webster, Christopher 512 FL 13 41 41 ---
Fletcher, Gilbert 585 FL 7 38 38 ---
Pearson, Juan 588 SE 10 73 73 2 yrs.
Bridges, James 582 SE 8 44 44 1 yr.
Coles, Kent 583 SE 2 22 36 3 yrs.
Okay, group is okay but nothing special. Pearson also posted 8 ypt last season, and that's good enough for my WR1. Bridges fell off a cliff last season, after multiple years of GREAT efficiency (> 10 ypt in limited use), I must have used him too much I guess. Time for Douglas to step up as WR2 this year.
Fletcher is, I think, useful in his very specific role, we'll see if he wants to get paid now.

Argentati, Terrance 870 LT 3 54 54 2 yrs.
Ause, Dustin 878 LT 9 42 42 ---
Kaminski is back, but not for long, so that's the min need area here. Argentati is ready to play anywhere, but we'll likely leave him at LG as long as our venerable pass-block-only tackles are around. Happy here, but if we keep draft picks, fine targeting a late 1st this way.

Grunhard, Graham 904 P 2 41 41 1 yr.
Wynn, Rusty 1003K 7 42 42 1 yr.
I'm back into "whatever" mode here, after a bit of dabbling with early picks and keep-forever guys... doesn't seem to be a big enough payoff that I can see. Seems like just about every legit kicker still just misses 15% of his FGs, so why pay a premium, unless it's for touchbacks I guess?

Evanswhite, Jose 1296NT 6 36 36 2 yrs.
Schultz, J.C. 1272NT 2 24 31 3 yrs.
DE May made my team as a non-affinity end-of-career add, and gave me the ear-pinner season I wanted - 24 tackles, 9.5 sacks from his 100 PRTech and little else. We may rtry to retain him one more year. DT Dotson got a fat contract and may move back outside- he's the most talented among this group now.

Borders, Jake 1458WLB 2 18 33 3 yrs.
SOph Sitz is going to be fine, but nbot thrilling. I have really shifted my focus in thir group away from the run and toward the pass, and... I like it. Tackles are easy to count, but I'm just not that worried about teams running the ball against me, and too many of those tackles end up being after we yielded the 8 yard catch on 3rd and 6. Evans, Sitz, HUbbard, and Brock are all very capable overall guys with good to great coverage skills. That's our jam now.

Nichols, Chase 469 LS 4 21 21 ---
Hoover is really good, though expensive, but I just prefer having a build-around CB1 if at all possible. Jaynes could have been that guy, too, we'll see if we can lure him back in free agency, though CB2 is way down my list in general. Grassia found his calling at FS, even though he's undersized, a way better fit for his skills than nickel corner.

Some cap space to fiddle with... enough to go after one or two big names in free agency, plus my usual fiddling around in the lower ranges with good fit guys.
No reason to think this team should fall apart this year. We're in maintain mode, and will add if we can.
