    Perriman: Has all the potential to be a great receiver, I wasn't a huge fan of the pick but I can see why Ozzie pulled the trigger. Balancing risk/potential reward, I'll give this a B.

     

    Williams: Best TE in the draft, should come in and more than adequately fill one of our biggest needs. Also great value near the end of round 2. A

     

    Davis: Fantastic value again in the 3rd, some had him going late first. Adds to a young and powerful DLine. A

     

    Smith: Not someone who's going to come in and have a huge impact right away, but can develop behind Suggs/Doom while filling some of the gap left by McPhee. Future starter hopefully. B+

     

    Allen: Dynamic back who also has great receiving ability, should be a great backup but can he take over full-time eventually? We'll see. B

     

    Walker: Seemed a strange pick, I'm glad we went corner but felt like there were plenty of safer options available. But I'm sure the FO knows a lot more than me so hopefully he'll turn out solid. C

     

    Boyle: Probably my least favorite pick this year, with Williams, Crockett, Supernaw and maybe Pitta on the team I'm not sure what he adds that we don't already have. D

     

    Myers: Strongly linked with the Ravens so no surprise we got him, should provide good depth and insurance if Yanda/KO leave next year. B+

     

    Waller: I absolutely love this guy, steal of our draft for me. He has such a rare size-speed combo, with a little work to his game he could really be something special. A

     

     

    Overall: A very good draft, and interesting to see us go with so many offensive players - I'm sure Joe is thrilled with all his new targets. Great balance of need/BPA, as we've filled just about every hole on our team. My only real concern coming out of this draft is at corner, I'm not sure Walker can come in and have an immediate impact so I can see us signing a vet somewhere along the line over the summer. Overall I'm not sure it quite deserves a top grade, but a solid draft gets a B+

    So Ozzie says we are looking at UDFA Corners. Reynolds, Roberson, Purifoy and Mitchell would all be nice if they make it.

    I'm from Cheltenham in the UK. My family lived in Baltimore in the early 90s and supported the Redskins, and moved back to England before the Ravens formed. My dad still supports the Redskins to this day so we have a nice little rivalry in our house! As for me, I've been watching the NFL for about 4 years, and chose the Ravens because my family used to live there. Had a lot of good nights staying up til 4:30am watching them and getting only 3 hours sleep! Got a lot of friends who also watch a lot, definitely a growing sport over here. Someday I'll come over and watch a game in Baltimore!!
