The Ravens did not draft a RB
That seemed like one of the biggest questions going into the draft regarding Dixon and Woodhead's value. The Ravens obviously seem content rolling with those two guys.
Let's discuss. Thoughts?

Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
Mark Ingram maybe? Blount as a fallback makes sense too, he and woodhead would make a nice 1-2 on paper.
Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
I agree with sugbear, I think they add someone like Blount before training camp.
Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
They didn't add a wr either. Weird

Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
They were high on Fournette but who wasn't? I do know they like Dixon a lot and to pass on a pretty deep group of guys this year tells me it wasn't really a need for them. Harbaugh had high praise for him last year and even earlier this off-season when he knew about the positive test. It also tells me they are comfortable with West for a few games before Dixon comes back.
It's still going to be a messy situation. I see a typical game of:
DIxon: 12 carries, 50 yards (.30 TD) - 3 receptions, 22 yards, (.1 TD)
West: 7 carries, 25 yards (.35 TD) - .75 reception, 6 yards (.0 TD)
Woodhead: 4 carries, 20 yards (.1 TD) - 4 receptions, 35 yards (.25 TD)
Obviously makes Dixon and Woodhead viable starters. Dixon in that mid RB2 range and Woodhead as viable FLEX starter/RB3. Both will have low floors and pretty capped ceilings, but there is room in that offense whether people think there is or not. I expect the rushing totals to increase this year, but Baltimore backs also had the second most receptions behind only New Orleans, so having both backs combine for 100 receptions isn't a far fetch.

Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
Assume they'll add a veteran after cuts.
Baltimore has been pretty good at taking BPA and not reaching for need. Seems like most of their picks were praised for being good values.

Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
Definitely a boost to the values of the RBs on the roster, but I'm still avoiding them if I can. Just not sold on any of them and would use this to sell and get good value.

Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
Actually I was reading something a few weeks ago where Harbaugh said that as of now, West is the current starting back. Of course that's probably to push Dixon a little and he can't say Woodhead is the starter with just showing up.

Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
"Is west not in the conversation any longer ?" he's actually the starting running back for the Ravens. Don't tell anyone, no one seems to have noticed.
Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
West is the starting RB because Dixon is suspended 4 games.
Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
Dixon is the biggest beneficiary. Can't deny he's talented, if he could just pickup blocks he could be a 3db.
Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
Wasn't west also the leading rb last year before Dixon suspension ? Hardbaugh seem to like west at he end of the year ..I'm just not sold on Dixon

Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
He was the official starter in the final game, but he was outsnapped by Dixon 33-25 and Dixon got five more carries than West.

Re: The Ravens did not draft a RB
Does anyone really expect West to make much of an impact beyond the first four weeks of the season though?
