Although still one of the best GMs in the game. the legend of Ozzie's Newsome draft magic is a bit outdated. Here are the Ravens top three rounds since 2009: 2009 - Michael Oher, Paul Kruger, Ledarious Webb - a bust, and two above average players 2010 - Sergio Kindle, Terrance Cody, Ed Dickson - disaster of a draft (although Pitta and Arthur Jones came later) 2011 - Jimmy Smith, Torey Smith, Jah Reid - two very good picks at the top, but now what I would call stars (and one is gone) 2012 - Courtney Upshaw, Kelechi Osemele, Bernard Pierce - Upshaw is big disappointment, Osemele is very good, Pierce is gone 2013 - Matt Elam, Arthur Brown, Brandon Williams - Williams is a starter and promising DT, the other two busts 2014 - CJ Mosley, Tim Jernigan, Terrence Brooks - Mosley is a starter (but is just a two down player, cannot cover), Jernigan is up and down, Brooks looks very suspect and is now injured 2015 - Brenard Perriman, Maxx Williams, Carl Davis - too early to tell, but Perriman hasn't even seen the field yet. Now Ozzie still gets some good players in later rounds, but there aren't any stars or Pro Bowlers on the list above - people overrate Jimmy Smith and Mosley has regressed this year and is a coverage liability. Osemele may be the closest thing to a Pro Bowler on the above list. Like I said. I think Ozzie is still one of the top 5-10 GMs in the NFL - but his "draft magic" of late has been middle of the road.
