I'm not a couch GM by far, but as a die hard, I am really just disappointed so far... Why not Jack ? Seems like Every other team is looking for plug n play impact players... Did they forget we only won 5 games last year ? Or that we've lost more games than we've won since the super bowl ?!!! smh

Jack is a defensive Breshad Perriman waiting to happen, too risky, don't blame them for passing on him.......

Ok, you have a point... But, why not Spence? Or Alexander at corner ? I may be sleeping on Correa but, I just don't see how he rated over those guys

[BoominRaven]

gave up noah spence for a 4th. I like correa, he was my next choice AFTER spence as a pass rusher but man that is TERRIBLE to give up that talent for a late pick

[cbrook1862]

How do you trade back from #36 for only a 5th rounder and then again for a 4th rounder? Did they read the charts wrong, gave away value and for lesser talent. Frustrating. Correa has upside but is going to need time to develop. Pretty sure they could have easily taken him in the 3rd round no contest.

I was thinking the same thing, we didn't get good value in return.

[ravenscavecreek]

So they move back and miss Myles Jack and Noah Spence who is a top 15 pick without the character concerns and who may be the best pure pass rusher...SMDH. We needed to do really good in the draft this year, I was kinda bummed about the Stanley pick then slept on it and realized that it was actually a really good pick, then when I think things get more exciting day 2, we let the Jags take Jack and miss on the best available pass rusher. I'm done with this draft.

goodnight

Mackensie Alexander gone now. Ozzie your killing me. Every talented player l like is gone. Why Ozzie Why?

You just reminded them. I think the front office is generally revered by the fans including me for past performance, but don't seem to be held accountable for recent performance. That needs to change. Continuity is great but sometimes a small change here and there can be a catalyst for good. Remember letting Cameron go and just like that 8 or so games later we won the SB. Perhaps something needs to be shaken up in our front office/

I totally agree.. I might get some negative feedback for this, but I think it's about time to part with Oz and hand the keys over to DeCosta.. Let him bring in some premier scouts, and get us back to being a Powerhouse

[ravgo52]

Did y'all watch the films or sit with the scouts this year? Did ya even know or hear of Flacco before they picked him? Ozzie's the Man buddy! Don't get your panties in ruffle to quick. After this year they definitely know what spots they need to fill and how will do it! Maybe this years theme should be BELIEVE!!

I don't feel like the team we have right now is any better than the team last year. Ravens needed impact, game changing players. What OZ decided was more picks, more "guys". We needed a star. Sad to see other teams get it. Taking risk to get blue chip players while we move back to pick 4th and 5th round guys hoping to find a diamond in the rough instead picking up the diamond in front of you. Spence and Buckner will tear up league.

They have watched hundreds hours of tape. They know what value they are getting. Youve watched a 2 minute youtube video and listened to Mel "overraction" Kiper. Ill trust ozzie who has 2 Rings. Monday morning GMs. SMH

I heard that we watched after they drafted Elam. You must believe the players Ravens already have will just play better to agree to pass on first round talent for a guy projected to go late second or third round by draft experts. I guess we will see

I hope so. ?

[ravens4life86]

Use some of those later picks to get back up into the 3rd or late 2nd...

I can't believe l'm saying this but you might be right.

[dead serious]

The Ravens now have five picks in the fourth round. Stay Tuned, We may end up with Three Picks in the 3rd round, We got Draft Cash Now, and Correa is another Troy Polomalu playing at DE, He is a Motor guy.. and Dont even think about his weight cuz you know that guy over in Denver that Plays DE/OLB , yeah Von Miller, Well they weigh about the same and he has a Motor too. Correa was a Hidden Gem, and he came with 2 more Draft picks to boot, Oz knows what he is doing, Stop Sweating him http://prntscr.com/ayjecr Von Miller Profile

this is ozzie trying to outsmart everyone and failing again. wow, does this pick suck. he was projected as a day 3 pick, and he is undersized for a pas rusher. What the heck? are they smoking in the front office?

I think Dumervil at 5' 11" and Terrell Suggs 6'3" would disagree with your assessment that he's too small for a pass rusher.

Spence has talent but he has had off field issues the past 3 years. Like Manziel, a zebra doesn't change his stripes. Read the sign above the door in the draft room....

The Ravens are getting soft, they're letting teams take great, elite, impact players, while we get 'solid' and project players while hoping to magically find a diamond in the ruff in the back end of the draft. I give this draft a c- so far. I could punch the whole FO right in their throats right now

[SorryNotSorry]

If you're going into the season with Zachary Orr as the uncontested starter beside CJ you don't have the luxury of passing on both of the top 2 inside linebackers in the draft...in the 2nd round.

[law215]

How about PRAYER! Cause line up the rosters and see how we compare to other teams. Cap issues every season, dumping players that helped you win those two rings (Boldin, Dilfer, Pollard) and suffering for years to get back, handing big contracts to often injured and severely injured players (Webb, Pitta), I could write a list of bust and under achieving players since 2008, unable to extend contracts of top round draft picks , never drafted a true number one receiver in twenty years. But, OZ the man? You living on yesterday

[ravenscavecreek]

Mackensie Alexander gone now. Ozzie your killing me. Every talented player l like is gone. Why Ozzie Why?

I really don't think that Ozzie cares which players you like.

[TheConquerorWorm]

Mackensie Alexander gone now. Ozzie your killing me. Every talented player l like is gone. Why Ozzie Why?

Zero INTs his whole career, that's not a game changer, that's Kyle Arrington

[dead serious]

I forgot about Correa...but hes a good pick I like.
I hope Ozzie uses some of those later picks to get back into the 3rd or something.
(5) 4ths, 5th, (2) 6ths..
They wont all make it..so why not jump back up to target higher talent specific players.

Early round 3, I would guess CB/WR would be the focus.. maybe
Cyrus Jones,Fuller,Alexander still around..
Or Braxton Miller, etc

Trade back into 3rd get that second Pass Rusher Yannik Ngkoue,Jenkins etc

thats a good call, and its what i am also looking for, now that we have some Draft Cash, I can see us getting Cyrus Jones and Braxton Miller if we get back into the 3rd round tonight

Chill guys. DeCosta said weeks ago the success is going to be determined by how they draft in the fourth round in this defensively deep draft. Well, they now have five picks in that round, more than enough to fill the remaining needs. They stayed away from someone with a "time bomb" knee and a few guys with character issues, and got guys high on their boards. Some of the best players in the NFL are found in the middle rounds every year and they only need to strike gold on a couple.

[The Negotiator]

Where is the instant coffee? We get a guy who could have went in the third round. Jack could have been our second pick and Correa in the 3rd.

[The Negotiator]

I remember when we were shocked when Steve fired Brian Billick. Ozzie might not get fired but could be giving his notice soon.

Decosta poured you a cup of 4th round Kool-Aid and drank it bottoms up. LMAO.

No way he lasted that long Top 40 player on Kiper, MCShay and Mayock's list.....He goes a few picks after the Ravens picked him with all the other pass rushers

He also wanted instant coffee as well. Look like they put some night quill in that coffee.
