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.

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 would have fell close to end of second or beginning of the third round.

[ravens4life86]

Couple picks away.. all the good/great CBs are gone(Alexander,Burns,Cyrus Jones etc)

So I really want Ozzie to take another Pass Rusher like Yannik Ngkoue if Braxton Miller a WR

[ravensnj]

good players keep coming off the board. Who will be left for us?

 

 

[Crusader]

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

After the last 4 year draft picks , yea, there is a time when your run comes to an end and sorry does not cut it.

[fusuymada]

thank goodness the best players in the draft are in the fourth round because soon we will have every pick in that round and Ozzie and Eric will sit around and pat themselves on the back because they won the most picks game. But I thought the best players were selected in the beginning of the draft. We got the second best tackle with what was virtually the fourth pick and then we get nothing. Unless Bisciotti is a liar, then someone is in trouble because we were told by our owner we would get playmakers and playmakers don't come in the fourth and fifth rounds, people like Robert "snacks" Myers are the types of players we draft there and they don't even make the team out of training camp, this is pathetic and can we convince DeCosta to take a job with the Steelers or Bengals because we would own the division then. I have to believe our FO has lost it and once again we will have a losing season and Harbaugh will take the fall when it is time to let Ozzie retire and ship DeCosta to the Browns.

Sean Davis to Pitt, hurts

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!!

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

Calm down, lol, calm down! Wipe the tears from your eyes and look! For every so called bust their is a list of free agents we've lost each year do to their value! Let alone those in the ring of honor all ready! Add all those up and what would be the average for the past 20 years? Y'all sound like a bunch of spoiled brats, whining cause y'all can't get your way! Like my man said below, how do you know? You might be looking at the next Troy Palmolive! Lol

[Crusader]

I think they must have traded out of this century.

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

LETS GO BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE for pick 70

[Raven Zack]

Again, the last solid draft we had was in 2008. And even that year we took Ed Dickson in the 3rd with Gronk still on the board ! It is seriously time for Steve to revamp that FO.. Hand the keys to DeCosta and let him revamp that scouting team..

Wow. Are you actually suggesting that we ignore the draft when assessing our general manager? That's 70% of the job.

I'm glad to see that there is a consensus otherwise. We need star players and acquired 2 starting caliber guys with limited upside. That's a poor haul for the best draft position of the decade.

It would be a suggestion. If you were right...

[ravens4life86]

Dang..there goes Yannik...
Ok take Braxton Miller....

[ravens4life86]

Unless theres a better pass rusher available

Then how many other owners need to revamp the scouting team and hand the keys over to a new GM. Because I'm sure everyone who drafted and didn't take Gronk feels the same way.

[ravens4life86]

Alright alright..Kaufusi..great job..back 2 back..pass rushers..Correa and koufusi..love

[ravens4life86]

Now Im Hyped!!!!Back 2 back Pass rushers

I don't care how the other owners feel... Im a RAVENS fan... And I'm ready for us to start drafting better than the Bengals, Pats, and Steelers... And we clearly do not

[markbusinsky]

Who remembers when the Ravens passed on a guy named Tom Brady?

Every team passed on him 5-6 times...

Rob Gronkowski was taken in the 2nd round 2010, right before Sergio Kindle.

[surfdude]

Great picks ! High character guys the last two guys will run through a brick wall kinda of players. Best front office in the business.

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.

Of course he doesn't but this strategy doesn't make since.

[krnraven]

I agree they messed up the 2nd round. Our 36th pick was supposed to be like another 1st rounder; yea right.

[cbrook1862]

Should have just stayed put and selected either Myles Jack or Noah Spence... Literally no one we've drafted so far has excited me.

[Ravenous_Ravens]

Feels like mediocre town after the first pick. The FO sold illusions. Going to revamp this defense they said, more like patching holes. At this point the Ravens are not better on paper. Stanley and KO are close enough to a wash but Correa and Kaufusi are not even close to starting caliber pass rushers, maybe in 3-4 years but then we'll let them walk cause we don't want to pay them. I guess when you plan on picking high again next year you can take liberties like this. At this point neither the offense or the defense is improved and now there is a log jam at OT and lost cap room.

Ozzie best days are behind him. He was much more in tune with the players and the game of yesteryear year but those days are fading and quick and the new reality is the league is different now. BPA in salary cap era is a very different beast and its become apparent with the way contracts have been handled the last few seasons. The OT handling this past offseason now looks like a complete blunder IMHO. Let good talent walk over keeping a guy they said is the starter, then go and draft his replacement and create a log jam?

I'd be very happy if they prove me wrong. This is looking like a long season and the health of several key pieces is still uncertain.

[cbrook1862]

That's irrelevant who the hell knew he would turn out the way he did

[cbrook1862]

should've been more aggressive and got the guys they WANTED, not the guys that FELL TO THEM. That has been the main difference between how we've been drafting so far and how the other teams near the top of every round has drafted.

[poedacrow]

I love the draft! Every year I get to see what Ozzie, Decosta and the Scouting crew come up with. Even more interesting is the ever expanding list of Free Lance GMs on the interwebs. Fun stuff.

[dirtybird66]

yeah,we finally get a chance to draft blue chips and what do we do,throw them away and draft no names,very boring,very bad draft.

[dirtybird66]

if he was that good and hard worker,you would of heard of him,anybody heard of him?
