As long as Warrick stays healthy, we have him and CJ for all of our 2-WR sets, then have more talent in Houshmanzadeh and Kelley Washington. I was hoping we could fill our only truly open hole at TE. Maybe 4th round or free agency.

You are definitely right, the trio of Jonson, Warrick, and Houshmandzadeh is pretty dangerous, especially with an improving Palmer throwing them the ball. I know Houshmandzadeh especially put a hurting on the Raven's secondary in Baltimore late in the season, which put us behing the ball in the playoff push.

Baltimore got three steals: Mark Clayton at 22, Dan Cody at 53, and trading up to get Adam Terry at 64.

I don't know much about Terry, but his size is impressive. They were saying he is a good pass blocker, and we do need that from our line. Clayton's highlights were absolutely amazing. Regardless of what team picked him, I was pleasantly shocked when I saw the clip after he was chosen. Even though he never made any, I don't want to hear another Raven fan (not saying you did, just in general) make an excuse for Boller. He is still young, he doesn't have any receivers, their offense is too run oriented... It is time for him to produce, Even without Clayton, with Mason as a proven star, Heap as one of the top TE’s in the league, and Moore as a legitimate Red Zone converter, he needs to start making plays downfield.
