Anyone else confused right now? We lost art jones, never had a fs, lost slot cb, lack future pass catcher then all of sudden we take a lb.

The selection of C.J. Mosley will in due time send a clear message to the Ravens and eventually all other 31 teams in the NFL. Mosley may well have been the "best player available" at #17 tonight. But he was not the best player for the Ravens and more importantly he does not play a position that will impact any of games that the Ravens will play in the future in the same way that a dynamic wide receiver, shut down corner or bookend offensive tackle can. I love Ozzie. I love DeCosta and our front office. But I actually grimaced when I heard Joe Horwitz talk about Alabama getting a bad reputation for the NFL quality of their defensive players at the the Raven's draft luncheon the other day. Sorry Joe and sorry Ozzie but at what point do you have to look to Coach Saban and the system at Alabama to see that is the real value in Alabama. How many first round Alabama defenders (outside of Marcell Dareus) are complete busts at the NFL level? There were 2 players in this draft that could have possibly become Raven picks (at #17) that I dreaded. Mosley and Clinton-Dix. Products of the Alabama/Nick Saban system that have produced numerous high pick flops in the last 5 years. Lastly, and believe me, I understand best player available and the big board and all that crap, I really do; but the guy you just picked at #17 in the draft is a freakin clone of the guy that you traded up in the second round last year to pick Arthur Brown. Literally a clone. Two players rarely get so similar. You resigned Daryl Smith. SO WHY??? Why pick Mosley when Cooks was available. Why when Johnny Manziel was still on the board and I'm sure your phones were ringing off the hook with trade offers. Didn't Terence Cody teach us anything? Did Courtney Upshaw? Did Rolando McClain? I'm sorry and I know that a lot of people here will take major offense to this, but could Ozzie Newsome's downfall be his soft spot for Alabama defenders? Despite all the great picks in the past, that seems to be what is going on here. In summary....terrible pick....hate it with the white hot intensity of 1,000 suns. F- for Ozzie and the boys.

Me and you think in the same way

I don't think they made solid moves. They passed on Sammy Watkins at 4 - that would have made one heck of a WR duo. They selected Gilbert but could have gotten Dennard at 22 and then traded back up to get Carr/Bridgewater/Manziel

they also have bills 1st and 4th next year.

Browns FO deserve an award for their 1st round performance.. Our div is getting tougher and tougher..

Im mad that Ward and Buchanan are gone

where all the realist fans who knows that we are not contenders as of now

And that should prevent us from being happy when we seem to make a good deal?

 

No team is ever without holes to fill. That's one of the blessings of the cap system. So, we should never be happen

its only a good deal if zuttah plays good

lol you guys are happy like we actually have a SB contending team.. we too many holes to fill..fs,wr/te,possibly rb,dline, and most of all we have a lot of new personal..

we need more than fa and draft to get our stuff right. we not winning nor going to sb this season any how 

not this upcoming season but maybe after we will be SB contenders. no way we have a shot at sb this season with all the personal

I hope you dudes don't think that Darryl smith will be playing like that the whole 4 years

I say forget about steve smith, and sign alex mack.

we a de and fs

forget smith, lets sign mack

if smith only had 64 recs with car just imagine how many he will have with us.. im thinking 47.. with our secondary coach gone, it wouldn't be good for us to select ha ha because he lack awr.

I say we pick up Kenny britt just to play safe

we better off getting a wr in draft..

we gonna regret passing on Evans

guess im the only one who thinks stevie brown will be a nice pick up for us

our dline took a big loss with art gone..

stevie brown and alex mack would be a nice sign right now

I say we pick up stevie brown.. he had 9 ins before his injury

Sidney rice, Kenny britt, or steve smith either one of them would fit

I say we go for byrd if Monroe deal don't work out

only way we don't resign pitta is if we get a nice wr out of free agency then grab a TE in draft possibly ebron.
