Ravens willing to move on from Torrey Smith

Good, because I'm also willing to move on from Torrey Smith.

Out of the guys we've been linked to, my preference would be Maclin or Cobb. We need a speed guy, but he also needs to have YAC ability, and I've just never seen that out of Smith. Correct me if I'm wrong, because this isn't based on stats, as I haven't looked, but just from my observations of them in-game. Smith has always played the softest out of all of them to me and appears to be just a straight up chuck it down field and let him run under it guy.

Adding a thought:

 

Look at the third round of the draft, where the 10th-15th WRs will likely be taken.  Who are they (I include 9 because a few could go earlier)?

 

  • Josh Harper Fresno St
  • Justin Hardy, ECU
  • Tyler Lockett, Kansas St
  • Rashad Greene, FSU
  • Phillip Dorsett, Miami
  • Jamison Crowder, Duke
  • Tony Lippett, Mich St

 

After bad combine:

  • Sammie Coates, Auburn
  • Ty Montgomery, Stanford

Now consider the fact that the third round WR will make less than $1m. 

 

There are a few names I would take over Smith without contract implications overshadowing the deal.

Absolutely. I'd take Greene in the second if he was there, but that's sorta off topic. You could draft two guys for the price it looks to get Torrey. Seems like a no-brained to me.

To play devil's advocate, and assuming his declination of the contract is true, maybe he just wants out of Baltimore.

 

To extend this speculative thought, it certainly MIGHT help confirm the fact that Steve Smith is tough on the other WRs on his roster.  (The reason NO WR who ever played here that was picked or signed after Smith was drafted ever amounted to much.  Smith, it is rumored, intentionally got in people's heads--saw teammates as "competition".  Again, devil's advocate.
