Draft History

[ravens88]

This years draft i think this is one of our better drafts. Although looking back at the players taken and who we took and when its kind of interesting lol we took chris chester over devin hester and then demetrius williams before brandon marshal. Im not being critical just saying its kind of a painful laugh when you see that.

Apparent misses like Brandon Marshall happen all the time. Remember that 3 OTs were taken before Michael Oher and there was a huge run on running backs before we nabbed Rice in the 2nd round which now looks like a steal.

Hindsight is always 20/20. But for every miss there is a huge hit. Our team would be lost without Lardarious Webb. Him, Jarret Johnson, and Adalus Thomas are three of the best late round draft picks in Ravens history. That doesn't include the undrafted guys like Bart Scott, Jameel McClain, and Ellerbe. IMO we have to include those guys as draft steels just like any other actual draft pick. But you can't get them all.

The reason you're getting nep rep is because we did a big post about this a few months back where people would show examples of who was on the board when we took someone.....pretty interesting, but be prepared to not really get any response to this post. Someone may be kind enough to search for that post so you can review it.

gotcha was just aiming to get at the fact that this years draft has proven to be one of our best i think as our first 3 picks have proven to be very good picks and so has are last years i think as a whole we are consistanly picking very well in our first 2 picks every year. i.e Joe flacco and Ray rice last year. I think ozzie is one of the best when it comes to the draft.
