I think that we are looking at a make or break draft for the scouts and maybe a self check for the front office. There has been some scouting changes over the last few years and I think some of them need to be really looked at closer. We seemed to whiff on natural prospects and get players who are injury prone or don't pan out. I know you can't strike it rich every draft, but let's face it we haven't been as good as we should be. This class should be providing stars and they may still be. But it's looking like another average year with nothing truly exceptional. Stanley is a great pick and he will be great. It's Day 2's draft board that has me scratching my head. We should've had more compensation from Jacksonville and Miami. Other teams who traded back after us had better deals. Better players were on the board and we passed, I don't see the advantage of amassing more 4th round picks. 5? We will be lucky to get 2 out of the 5 to stick. I would see the advantage if we had recent success. I hope the talent on Saturday is there because I think we will truly need it. We know as the draft progresses the talent level falls. This is a talent rich draft and I hope it pans out for us. I am just afraid, we are resting on our laurels of drafts gone by and not looking in the mirror and see why we seem to draft average and not grab what we need when we need it. "We can get a Corner in the second round", instead we trade back for a fourth, then again for a 5th?? I thought the 2nd round position was like getting another 1st rounder instead we go deeper in and come out with someone NO one even heard of that looks like he should've been taken in the middle instead of top of the 2nd. I am sorry, guys, I LOVE my Ravens, but what is going on? Reality check please.
