Thoughts on Ravens LB situation

[teprovich88]

What are some thoughts on the LB situation in Baltimore for 2017. Mosley is coming off of an disappointing season, and Orr suddenly retired this offseason.

Who takes over for Orr this year? I expected the Ravens to look at Foster in the first, but they seemed to neglect ILB all draft. There have been some reports on Correa, but I can't say I know very much about him.

I stashed Correa this offseason. He was battling Orr for the starting ILB gig last year before he got nicked up. Only his 2nd season and Baltimore took him in the 2nd round last year, so it sounds like they're high on him. Also read at one point he was considered to play OLB, but with Orr retiring it looks like he's going to stay inside.

Daryl Stewart (2015) & Zach Orr (2016) produced some solid tackle numbers next to Mosley in Baltimore's defense, so I'm hoping Correa can follow suit.

Correa is the favorite. We may see a very messy committee as well.

For the record, Mosley actually had a really good year as a linebacker. Just didn't get a ton of tackles relative to his rookie year.

Correct, as a LB he had a good football season. I guess I should have stated disappointing "fantasy" season. It seemed like he was put in coverage more which decreased his tackle opportunities.

For those who specialize in IDP scouting, how does Correa compare to Orr verses Mosley? Does Correa allow for Mosley to return to his rookie year role?

I think we'll be hard pressed to find anyone on this forum who scouted Correa as an off ball LB :/

He was a DE/OLB coming out

Any thoughts of Tyus Bowser shifting inside. They also selected OLB Tim Williams.

Browser can rush the QB and fall back in coverage. This guy is like a chess piece.

Maybe Bowser could. Tim Williams definitely won't be inside. He's an extremely talented pass rusher but he can't do a lick of anything else.

I picked up Correa off FA this off-season for this reason. My only concern is he seems to have had a positional switch but there's not too many others to fill this void.

This is none of the key questions for the summer for me. It's such a plum role that whoever gets it is likely to be top 15 IDP LB.

Gun to my head - I'm betting on Correa. But Tyus Bowser and Patrick Onwuasor could easily also seize it. I don't think any of them are a bad stash at this stage.

My prediction for whoever gets the job:
883 snaps
59 solos
38 assists
2 sacks
6 passes defended
2 INTs

And that's why you're the man, Tom. Lucky us...
