That's the article. You tell me now, one less person in the hunt for McFadden? Does this even change their draft strategy? You tell me, that's the topc, converse amongst yourselves :D

Baltimore was never in the hunt for McFadden

this really changes nothing as far as the Ravens are concerned, they were going to draft Ryan at #8 if he was there regardless.

Agree

Baltimore has McGahee, why would they even think of McFadden?

Mcnair or no Mcnair

they were drafting a QB from the start. All the top QB's have been in for visits over the last several weeks. I don't think DMAC was ever a consideration.

the Ravens trying to move up a couple spots to grab Ryan though, instead of just holding tight at #8. The QB spot is a little more important now that Steve is gone. If they move up to ensure someone does jump in front of them to take Ryan it could mean McFadden lasts a couple more spots, thus enticing Jerry to trade the farm for him. Say the Ravens now jump to #4 with the Raiders to take Ryan. McFadden is there at #7 for the Cheatriots, I could see #22 and #28 for the chance to take DMac. Just my humble opinion.

First to six!!!
