@ Capt Tim….are you feeling better now about the Glazer’s? See, it’s like I said..there’s a time to spend and now was the time. They really didn’t have any choice but I believe it actually worked out for the good. After the 2010 season it was really difficult to tell what our needs were. One would have thought we didn’t need a Vincent Jackson the way Mike Williams looked and Nicks wouldn’t have been available for the O-line. By waiting we have a clear idea of our needs both offensively and defensively and the cap space to address a great deal of them. I have to admit, if they land Jackson, Nicks, and Lofton it will be more than I thought they would do. I was thinking two splash signings and the rest would be depth players but it seems they are going all out. Good for them….and good for us.

Just saw that Jim Leonhard is still not locked down, bit of wishful thinking but that would sure be an upgrade at safety.

To those saying Tolbert is over rated, yes he is-if you say he is a starting, full time running back.
As part of a committee where he handles short yardage and receiving/blocking duties, when he splits time between halfback and fullback, when he plays with a fiery attitude and a whole lot of heart, when he doesn’t complain about not being a star-well he’s pretty good at that stuff. He’s no Frank Gore, but he’s no Kregg Lumpkin either.

Tracy Porter is getting a lot of attention from the Rams and Gregg Williams. Ladarius Webb from Baltimore has a tender on him, but do the Ravens have the cap room to compete with Dominik and co.?

@Erik

He did drop off horribly in 2010 but he has consistently gotten better year after year (minus that 2010 season). He actually played last year and in 09, 08 was his rookie year.

Young and still has potential. Starting material, maybe not STAR-ting material. If we can nab Claiborne we will be fine with that tandem(especially if Barber does come back for one more year)

GMC tweeted late Tuesday afternoon/night that all we needed now were his boys lofton and another player. I’ll see if I can track it down.

It definitely looks like Claiborne is going to be the guy. I’m not a big fan of drafting a CB that high (kind of like how Joe and many others feel about RB’s), but if we do get a couple good LB’s and maybe a safety in free agency, he may be the right pick. I don’t know if there would be anybody willing to do it, but I would also look into trading down. At this point (assuming we get Nicks), I’m going to trust the Rock Star to make the right choice. He’s earned that.
