OTL: A Ravens Reunion in Store via Trade?

Za'Darius Smith Josh Allen OTL

I had plans of starting today’s Out to Lunch one way, but the Kansas City Chiefs put an end to that Wednesday morning:

Tying a bow on some of what I wrote about last week, another veteran WR that many Ravens fans wanted is off the board, instead supporting the inevitable Chiefs. It feels like yet another name that’s passed by GM Eric DeCosta and Baltimore, but I’m less concerned about this one.

Instead, I’d rather see this unfold:

Cooper Kupp has been a major “what if” for Ravens fans ever since the 2017 NFL Draft, when Baltimore was rumored to be interested. His blend of physicality, route running, speed, and experience would be another ridiculous addition to an already unreal offense. Sign me up.

Another reason I’m unconcerned about not getting DeAndre Hopkins is the play of Rashod Bateman. He’s finally matching performances with the hype he’s received this offseason, which has been a hugely important development in Todd Monken’s offense.

Speaking of Monken, the man deserves his praise. After a couple weeks of inconsistent play, Baltimore’s offense has taken off and looks unstoppable. These rankings are insane:

Monken has continued to develop this offense after a strong first season, and when everything’s clicking, it seems Thanos-like: inevitable.

At the same time, a huge part of the unit’s success is the presence of new RB Derrick Henry. As someone who was unsure of the impact he’d have, it’s impossible to deny now. Henry is what’s helping this team close games, and he’s what’s making them feel like such a juggernaut.

Don’t forget to read the second name on that list. What’s crazy, though, is without Zyon McCollum, Henry’s numbers would be even higher. Give credit where it’s due – McCollum took an incredible angle to bring King Henry down on Monday night:

Aside from Henry, what really keeps Baltimore’s offense clicking is the talent of Lamar Jackson. I’m burying the lede a bit here, but Jackson’s play continues to amaze and he’s well on his way to his third MVP this season. Listen to Colin Cowherd gush over Jackson’s play here:

While Cowherd has always been a fan, it’s hard to argue that Jackson is the league’s best player:

That’s quite the resume. I can’t remember ever seeing Jackson play more complete football, whether through the air, on the ground, or simply protecting the ball. If Jackson continues to play at this level, it’s hard to see anyone stopping Baltimore’s offense.

I’ve left less time for the defense today, but I’ll leave you with some food for thought. How would you feel about a reunion with veteran DE Za’Darius Smith?

If it came down to choosing between Smith or Kupp, who would you rather see in Charm City? Sound off in the comments!
