The last I saw, the Ravens were looking for a late round pick. Yeah, I hate trading so many picks, and the Skins already have, but if we're really employing the win now mentality, a late-rounder for McGahee isn't a bad price.

Tempting, but we need to get away from the win now stuff. That is why I am supportive of the new regime, but also a tad wary. You always use some FA acquisitions to shore up any deficiencies, but you should make the draft the backbone of building a winner. Look at NE. God damn they traded down and got what like a dozen picks? Of course not all of those guys are going to make the final roster, but your odds of getting some nice depth is better if you keep trading away picks for proven vets that might be on the downward slope of their careers or becoming injury prone. Jamaal Brown might fully recover and become a beast for us, then again he might have chronic hip trouble and be out half or more of the time during the season. I am hoping that once a decent roster is finally formulated and they are comfortable with the new systems that Shanny and the FO will turn more focus on the draft.
