JO already missed by Ravens
As if replacing Jonathan Ogden wasn't going to be hard enough, the Ravens have watched two tackles carted off the field in the span of a week. First Jared Gaither, now Adam Terry. Terry's injury looks like it could be serious, although it's too early to tell.
I like Baltimore's hard-nosed young line, but injuries like this, if they prove to be serious, can be devastating for shaky quarterbacks. Keep an eye on the situation, but this is another reason to be wary of Derrick Mason, Mark Clayton, and the rest of the Baltimore passing game.

What about being wary of mcgahee?
Personally Id rather take a high end WR in the second round than gamble on the question mark RB's projected to go there.
Turner and Jamal Lewis in the third are looking awfully good these days.

...because turner's offensive line is so much better than baltimore's. id take baltimore's second string OL over atlanta's first string.

Thats a good point, darren. Everything I read coming out of Atlanta indicates that they need to find at least two new starters on the o-line to be competitive, but that may have more to do with whoever plays QB than Turner.
I'm a bit weary of Baltimore this season b/c Cam Cameron doesn't have a history of producing top wideouts and becaue I don't see McGahee has anything more than an average starter. Newsome is one of the better drafting GM's, so I'm less concerned that they lack the talent to get their line straightened out with Ogden's retirement.

Atlanta's O-line is crap, but there's something to be said for the lead back in Mularkey's offensive. His YPC will almost certainly suck, but the carries will be there.
Cameron's offenses haven't produced top wideouts (nor would I expect Mason, Clayton, or Williams to be one if Jesus was running their offense, esp. with their QBs), but his lead back has always been one of/the best. Time to see if it was just LT and Brown's ability, or if Cameron can do it with Willis as well.
Or maybe Ozzie Newsome can work his magic and we'll see another future HOF legend make a comeback in the same offseason.
