RavensFlock seems a bit divided over the acquisition of Roquan Smith. Some love it. Some are indifferent, basing their indifference on a highly bloated sense of PFF usefulness and their corresponding underwhelming grades on Smith. And then there are others who think that Eric DeCosta gave up too much in the trade for a player who might amount to nothing more than a 9-game rental. This group preferred a trade for a wide receiver, particularly after John Harbaugh announced that Rashod Bateman’s injury was worse than the team initially anticipated. Bateman is expected to miss a few weeks and given today’s trade deadline AND the Ravens standard practice of being tight-lipped about injuries, Harbaugh’s revelation about Bateman was a bit of a head-scratcher.
