I never understand people who advocate losing on purpose just to get higher draft picks. As if fostering a losing mentality helps your team. "yeah, you guys stink. go out and lose some games so we can draft guys better than you." And I guess when your trying to bring in free agents its always nice to show them your "losing culture." You can always tell the armchair coaches from people who've actually played competitive sports. Well explain the Manning and Colts situation. Manning sat on the bench got paid 18 mil to do so and the colts lost out on purpose to nab Andrew Luck. Manning could of came back in and played towards the middle to end of that year but colts choose to lose out to Luck. So Colts get Luck made it to the wildcard round with and 11-5 record lost to us "Ravens" who went on to win the Superbowl. The next year Colts make it to the divisional round lose to the patriots. The following year Colts made it to AFC championship and lose to Patriots again, year after that which was this past year Luck got injured. My point is this if they didn't lose out on purpose they would never got Luck and had three consecutive runs to the playoffs after they Manning go. So sometimes it does to pay off to lose out for the future good of your team.

I feel yesterday pick was the traditional Ozzie move. He went with a safe bet over a risk and stuck to his board which is what he does, best player available. Is it my favorite pick, by no means we all have our own opinion to what and who they should of picked but the difference is they run the team we don't which why they get paid millions to do it and we don't because they know better prospects than we think we do. I must admit I would of loved to see defense at number six. I would of liked the trade up scenario if it happened, personally I thought they should of went with Buckner. But any who if your Stanley Pans out, Oz looks like a genius and it was a good pick for us and our future but if it don't work to Oz's favor I think next year he needs to step down and let Eric Decosta step in as the new GM . Eric keeps waiting in the wing but sooner later Eric is not going to down an offer that's too hard to refuse. If I was Biscotti I would be telling Newsome you better be right on this one. Steve loves pass rushers and there was a few on the board that could make an impact.

This guy had high expectations and has disappointed ravens fans greatly. I say OZ needs to IR his @$$ and trade for someone to compliment Steve. Ole' Campanaro needs more reps.. Brown and Aiken have not been performing to their potential, which is also a big disappointment. As a Ravens fan i can see that their are some people on this team who need to get their act together or the FO needs to get rid of them. I am sick and tired of Monroe always getting hurt, he is becoming a liability. Pitta needs to be ready bye week 7. Flacco needs other weapons. As for the other side of the ball, why did we resign Canty again, dudes a joke. he doesnt want to play he just wants to get paid by being injured all the time. hope Babin plays tonight.
