Todd Monken the Raven’s OC is going to help the Ravens and Lamar. Watson will get some mojo back. If our secondary mostly safeties plays well and the OL comes thru we are fine. But I believe an already tough division is tougher. We don’t need our notoriously slow starts.
I'm of two minds about Picket and Pickens. They both looked good at times last season and could progress. On the other hand defenses and CBs have now had a lot of time and tape to study from last year till now and a sophomore slump for both of them could likely occur (especially Picket), now that they have both put tendencies on tape.
As for the Ravens.....they're going to ask Lamar to be a pocket passer, which he does not have the tools to be. They're going to run a standard offense, AND he has been sending plays and routes to the OC to implement for him. He's gotten them off Twitter FFS. Lamar's ego is going to be his own doing. He is not capable of being the QB the offense is designed for. He doesn't have the touch or accuracy. never has. never will. I won't be surprised if the offense is a disaster for Lamar like Denver was for Wilson last year.
Could everything turn out rosey for both? Sure it could, but I have my doubts.
