Bringing Back the Best Defense:A Ravens Dynasty

[SaintsFan2544]

Okay, so after realizing the Pistol offense ruined my offense, I've decided to try again with the Baltimore Ravens. So without further ado, lets begin!

[SaintsFan2544]

I've decided to run the Holmgren West Coast, and the Phillip 3-4. Both work well with my style of play.

18 Day Count Down:
I opt to not franchise tag anyone.

Free Agency:

HB Ryan Moats (80);Will be my starter

Trades:
Traded for MLB Patrick Willis, gave up DT Kelly Gregg (80), a 2008 6th round pick, and a 2009 2nd round pick; MLB Bart Scott (86) will be moved to LOLB, Patrick Willis will be my number 2 MLB

Traded for CB Antonio Cromartie, gave up SS Dawan Landry (86) and a 2009 4th round pick;Cromartie will be my 2nd CB for the time being

Traded for QB Kevin Kolb for a 5th round pick (156);Will be my starter.

I think I made a few good trades, and obviously didn't break the bank. All that's left to do is the draft.

Up Next:The Draft!

If Willis is your no.2 MLB, who's your no.1? I also would have kept SS Dawan Landry.

Ray Lewis. I run a 3-4 so I need 2 MLB. Also, the reason I traded Dawan Landry is because it was either that or giving up a first round pick or two second rounders.

The Draft!

3rd Overall- ROLB Keith Rivers
Okay, seeing that I can could fill the holes on my team in later rounds in the draft, I decided to perfect my LB core. I had to give up TE Todd Heap, a 7th round pick, and my 8th overall pick. Yes, it was a bit pricey, but I think it will be worth it.

38th Overall-
Not seeing anyone I'm overly interesting in traded down. I received an 3rd round (78) pick, and a 2009 2nd round pick from the Saints.

78th Overall-
Earl Bennett was taken before me, and I needed a few more picks, so I traded down. I received a two fourth round picks(105 and 118) and, a 5th round (143).

105th Overall- WR Mario Manningham
I needed some support in the passing game and Manningham is really good.

107 Overall-SS Craig Steltz
I Didn't have a SS so this was an obvious pick.

118 Overall-
Traded down. Got a 5th round(169)pick, and a 2009 7th round pick.

139 Overall-DT Athya Rubin
Beast.

143 Overall-FB Carl Stewart
I like to run the ball with the FB sometimes, an Stewart has a 90+ in speed.

200 Overall pick-Tony Bake
My LE is getting old, and Tony Bake will be a decent backup.

Undrafted Rookies
HB Chauncey Washington
C Dale Lankford
ROLB Geno Hayes
SS Caleb Campbell

Afterthoughts:
A good Draft. We filled almost all our needs, and in my opinion have created the best defense in the NFL.
