Aldon Smith

Who would not want to see the picture above several times a season? Adding Aldon Smith would require the Ravens to do a serious background check on him, but on the field, he is nearly unstoppable. Off the field, it’s nearly unstoppable for him to stay out of trouble.

He has all the tools that translate into being a freak in the NFL. He already has 47.5 sacks in just 59 games and is a menace in the running game as well. The problem is he has been arrested five times since 2012 and is suspended for a year.

Anyone remember who drafted Smith? That would be Jim Harbaugh. The Ravens already have an inside edge on whether or not he is worth the risk. If Smith can get his act together and the Ravens don’t mind the PR mess, imagine what the pass rush would look like with the aging Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil.
