PASS RUSH? Suggs is 34 going on 50. NO ELVIS...Can't "cover" all day. And we have 7 or 8 more picks??? and 5 more rounds to go.

They've been watching this kids for a few years now....

http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Late-For-Work-428-Grades-Reaction-To-Ravens-First-Round-Pick-Of-Marlon-Humphrey/48f0282d-a3d7-4d0a-9619-7b26a9bc5335 Oh, and there's video of Humphrey there too... You could check those out too while you're there. They're pretty informative.

Of course you do.... Because it was a professional that posted it. You might want to check out the Draft Grades blog; and take your pick at any of the grades.

Folks just need to be realistic. This isn't Fantasy. There'd be moaning no matter who the Front Office picked. It wouldn't have mattered.

Baltimore Ravens: Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama Grade: A-. Humprey bolsters the Ravens' new-look secondary in an exciting way. Cornerback was a position of need and he is a scheme fit as well. An outside linebacker might have been the better play here, but Baltimore did well.

Of course it is......

I know..... Just had to placate him.

We don't need a TE. We already have 6, and Woodhead. For the past two years we have had secondary issues. These arguments are nutz. I'm outta here. This is just sad.

NOPE... I called Perriman. I also believe this guy is a Raven style player. Could be one of the better corners in the league. I mean whoda thought that Tavon Young was going to come out and play like he did last season... I'm sorry... what round was he picked again?????

I actually believe that even if Ozzie picked "The Guy"... we'd still see some folks moaning that we didn't go defensive back... Last night was a very "different" round 1 in this draft. People who went that weren't expected were all over the place. Folks need to chill

Yup... exactly.

And the pass catcher may come in the 2nd or 3rd round. You guys are acting like this was the determining factor of the entire draft. Was it a "sexy pick"? Maybe not... But it's crazy.

I respectfully disagree with you guys on this one.

They were discussing it last night. Maybe he's been OK recently... but there were clear reasons why they were overlooked by the Ravens... 2 of those guys had shoulder issues... One had arthritis in BOTH shoulders due to Labrum issues. The other had dislocation in one of his.... The third had character issues.... and as far as O.J.... We don't need another TE.

I'm with Law215. I love this pick. With Jimmy, Tavon, Carr and now Humphrey??? We have a great set of CB's. Add in Weddle, Jefferson, Webby, WOW. We've got a secondary this year.

We have 6 TE's... Boyle, Pitta, Gilmore, Waller, Williams, and Watson..... and now Woodhead in the backfield. It wasn't a need....

We have 6 TE's. Pitta, Gilmore, Waller, Williams, Watson, and Boyle.

Chris Simms???? Really??? I do not value his opinion on draft picks. Sorry.

I just wanted to say... You guys sure know how to make a guy feel welcome to Bmore... Listening to the analysts this morning... ALL OF THEM believe that this is a GOOD and a SOLID pick.

2 of those guys have had shoulder issues... the other has some character issues. I'm happy we went where we did.

He has some character issues......

So many people on here have complained about Jimmy Smith and Webby staying healthy. YES, there were a couple of other guys that some may say ranked higher on the BPA scale. I'm not so sure, personally. The other two guys that I would have thought, both have health issues or character issues. We have seen in the past couple of years where our secondary has gotten decimated, specifically the corners. This guy is an awesome player. I'm not disappointed AT ALL! WELCOME TO BALTIMORE MARLON.... TIME TO BUCKLE IT UP DUDE!

arthritis in both shoulders For howard.. You'all want that risk???? not me.

heath issues....
