Epic Fail... The Jets just took the Pick we needed. We didnt Need a ILB this year, it could have waited til next Year. We needed Safety help and Clinton Dix and Calvin Pryor were the best out there. Why did we waste a 2nd round pick last year to draft another ILB wit a 1st round Pick this year, I just Dont like it...SMH

[Jack Shea Stokes]

Solid pick. Would have loved one of the Safeties but can't complain at all.

[T-Phizzle]

I'm surprised, yet not surprised at the same time

[Bohica5]

sorry.....didn't need an ILB.......We blew it by not grabbing Johny Football......22 interceptions last year,an ILB is not helping that!

[omar586]

i was a hoping for a trade for more picks

[aruba1]

loved it. thought the squealers might pick him but they took shazier, who plays soft so we ended up getting the better player.

Johnny Football isn't very good at football.

That would be a problem.

Mosley, welcome to Baltimore

[RaveninColorado]

D. Smith is getting older. Solidifying our ILBs in Mosley and Brown for the next 5-10 years

[bioLarzen]

... aaaaand, here we go again, a lot of "fans" suddenly realizing Ozzie doesn't know how to make a pick

[mendii]

I guess he learns behind Daryl Smith a few years and then takes over? It's a curious pick to me, I think I would've been happier with a safety but it's always good to have a dominant linebacker.

[dead serious]

Yeah I was also looking for the Trade back for more picks as well, But unless you get the right buyers you cant sell. Safety was the next best option since Dallas took Zack Martin

[Bandit666]

Good pick to take over for aging D.Smith, but I would have taken Pryor or trade back to take Jimmy Ward. Hope we get Jimmy in 2nd.

No comment

[RavenzOz]

We're gonna be pretty damn solid in the middle of the D there now.

Been tracking the progress to date, and seven teams so far have picked at positions not deemed to be "positions of need" by nfl.com (including us), so looks like several other teams are going BPA as well.

[mikeld42]

Ol,OL,OL trade up if need be , we are 8-8 unless we get OL help.

At least grab the safety,look at this guys injury history.

C'mon Ozzie

[the deepster]

Not happy at all. I like him and have liked him throughout this process but when Dennard was still there why? And why not trade back? One thing for sure is this means that Arthur Brown is a bust. We need to hit a home run tomorrow. I guess when Hortiz defends Bama players that's a sign of where we were going. Happy that we didn't take "the guard" Zack Martin though.

[chuchu707]

Why did we do this? Just someone please answer this question please smh

[Jameshammett]

I think Clinton-Dix would have answered a greater need for us, but I know Ozzie knows what he's doing. Hopefully this pick will work out well.

[balfan23]

Mayock knows his stuff. I was surprised by his mock taking CJ over Dix. But Dix AND Pryor? Staying true to the BPA

[RaveninColorado]

Folks, this is a good FS class-- Ozzie may be in love with Buchanon, or Brooks. Both can be had later

[Ravensbest52]

A wasted pick last year in my opinion, I mean what was the point of drafting brown. definitely needed a safety not a ILB. I agree with dead serious whole heartedly. Better pray Ward is available in the second. Just smdh with this one

[Jacotic]

Great pick, most of you guys ownt see it now but he is going to be a "machine jerk!" in this defense. (I dont know if some of you got the reference or not lol)

[imabmoraven]

Solid Pick. Now LB should be set. Need OL and would have like to have grabbed Pryor...Interesting.

[purpledown]

Predicted this pick yesterday, a good pick in my opinion.

[jdynamite]

After Martin and Ebron were gone I was hoping to trade back.

So what will become of A.Brown. Will these two become stuck in competition like Ellerbe and McClain for years?

[Militant X 1]

Like many here, I too wanted the Ravens to select a Safety (i.e. Pryor or Dix) and the ILB pick of CJ Mosely surprised me.  But, we still have a few more picks and have to let it all play itself out before passing judgment!  Go Ravens!!

And now everyone will hate on Ozzie. This is BPA. Great pick. Him and Elam will be the face of our defense for the next 10 years. We will get a safety/RT in the 2nd. Don't hate on this move, I think it was a very good one. We fixed the offense, our defense has some holes.

[Jacotic]

Also people crying about need, look at the teams that draft off need where are they now? Still picking high in the draft not knowing how to follow their board... And remember nothing says we cant trade back into the first and grab an area of need.
