Exactly. He's still a quality player. Maybe he's washed up now and the Ravens know it, but he's likely a better option at FS than anyone else we could reasonably land this off-season. FS should still be high on our draft needs in case the right situation presented itself.

why? Isnt Reid a SS and Weddle a FS?

Weddle has been an all around great safety for most of his career, excelling in both coverage and run support like an Earl Thomas. However, last year he had a fairly significant drop off in coverage while remaining great in run support. He had 3 PD and no picks in 16 starts last year after having a combined 10 picks and 21 PD the previous 2 years. We need a safety capable of playing center field in coverage, not another one who at this point in his career should be closer to the LoS like Reid.

    • I think it will be a transition year will be a playoff team (more grindy and young blood) but not a top contender... but in 25-26 back to being a contender IMO Nickishin will be ready to do day 1 IMO.... and if we can get some of these young guys the experience/development FUS/Blake/Nadeu/Morrow 
    • in itself i didn't/don't have an issue with this. And our main point has always been that we didn't want to be one of the go for it all teams at the deadline because we have a window that has term with Slavin/Aho/Svech/Jarvy.  however. keeping martinook above market value and not combining the youth influx with things like changing things at goalie and or signing a big name as a guentz replacement just feels like so far we're kind of sitting this out, and i really dont like the idea of taking a large step backwards from pre deadline roster last year. i understand we've given this a run with the same guys and it hasn't worked and changing some things there. but we also know exactly what our glaring issues are. so to not get better at those while also getting worse/losing big time names in other areas is pretty disheartening thus far. Hope there's more to come.
    • It looks like next year is going to be the year that a lot of young guys get a chance.
