for some odd reason, i think if DT were drafted by us, he would have faded into obscurity like a stephen hill kinda guy. DT was extremely raw and i dont know if he wouldve grown with hostler and flacco and cam cameron the way he did with peyton

To be fair, he did look pretty good with Tebow. I remember talk when Peyton first arrived that he'd prefer Decker (who I hate. Not really relevant, just thought I'd mention it) because he was more polished as a player. I hear what you're saying though, and no-one can really say for sure how he'd have gone.

did he? i mean i know he had his moments because i watched a few games but i feel like i remember him being wildly inconsistent and disappearing from games and dropping too many balls during those years, but then again it was mcdaniels at HC and tebow at QB, so it makes sense lol

I am actually inclined to agree that DT may have failed to develop into the player he is today /w the Ravens. He was pretty raw coming out of college like you say, and even in recent years he hasn't been perfect. He is still a bad blocker, and he will have some concentration drops now and then. 

 

DT took longer to develop than most first round receivers. He didn't hit his stride until Peyton came over, although that was also the 3rd year of his career, which is about the time when you find out how good a player will be.

Yeah, there was no doubt in the office that we were going to select Dez. At least Oz knew he would be great so that tells you the guy isn't totally awful with WR. I wonder if we had interest in Demaryius as well. 

If I'm not mistaken there were a couple of drafts and that one being that we were out maneuvered. The scraps were left. But total whiffs on players like Martaviuos Bryant, Emanuel Sanders and even Givens have plaqued this team. They skip over tier talent al and apply BP available. The year was drafted the Ravens skipped over him The Ravens previously had players like Ray and Ed that they could afford to select like that. Now we don't. There is a shell of hallmark squad left to on the current roster. I'm advocating for a BPA Position of need simultaniously. The organization should able to pull this off without fail. They have the draft position (currently), moderate cap space, practice squad based line up to evaluate and purge at a nominal cost. Turn over will be of the old staples that about to begin. Givens and Ross should be affordable and hungry to stay because they Know they could and probably would play. Justin can be had with the Flacco savings (partial portion). Monroe will probably be cut due to injury concerns. We could invest in a Safety-(Ramsey) with 2 free agent acquisitions(Sean Smith comes to minds) & Will Hill. There's bounty of defensive players we haven't discussed. The draft is crucial to the rebuilding of receiving corp as we all know. if the Ravens have at least 11 draft picks they would foolish not to go after 3 in the draft. Elitish talent will there in the first 3 rounds that is readily recognizable. College football stats/combine/sports science matrix are becoming tell tai signs of the talent /matrix. I'm hoping for an announcement from Ozzie that they added/supplimented/surplanted the current scouts in key areas. Wide-out and Db's. Ozzie has the linebackers down pat.
