Some fans are never happy. OZ finally addresses a need. J Smith can't stay healthy, Carr is over 30 and Young is small. He is big, fast, and physical. His technique can be coached up.

That being said, they have more TE and DL that you can shake a stick at but hard to believe they pass on OJ Howard or J. Allen. So it makes me beilve they are not a BPA strategy.

He's a second round pick, Ozzie time has passed

In several mocks he was 11th to Saints and not pass the 1st round.

Never was that high ever we passed on Allen Howard and foster. A reaction to what bengals have done and Bryant coming back.

It that a Bad thing? Say they Take Howard. What do they target in the 2nd round? A lesser CB, what's left of Pass rusher or WR. O-line.

I agree, not a sexy pick. But the Ravens defense falls off a cliff when J Smith gets hurt, which is often. They reached for a need.

We signed Jefferson and Carr no need to reach, we didn't take best avalible. Ozzie your time has passed.

[b-morebrotha]

No more trust in Ozzie. He and Harbs hanging their hat on this pick and I think they're dunzo. DeCosta up next

[The Negotiator]

Ever since we missed out on Dez zero pro bowlers and a bunch of what if's.

We draft best player period, when you have Allen Howard there you reached. It's time to find a new GM

The fact he was there in the green room says otherwise.

Our cornerback play last year and the year before stunk to high heaven. Ravens fans have been crying like little girls over our lack of choosing CB's in the draft. We pick one. Still not happy. Not surprised.

Yes but there were at least 8 players higher in he board. Best player available, guess not.

It's pretty cool that Ozzie let you see his board.

Yep time to make some serious moves next offseason. My question is when Pierrman goes down who is catching the ball and who is running the ball?

[BoominRaven]

Bills got a better corner at 27 than we did at 16. Sad

Yes I would have rather had Lamp foster Allen Howard taco McKinley, the list goes on and on

[Purple Dawg 96]

Been saying this for a while "the #1 pick in the draft should be a CB like Jimmy Smith"! All CBs should be #1 and Marlon should fit rite in with our Defense!
Good move Ozzie and Co. keep them coming! Welcome to the Flock Marlon Humphrey!

[verified]

corner should no longer be in issue for us now, if if jimmy smith does get hurt like he so often does we finally have guys that can cover with carr tayvon and now humphris, we needed this and he seems to be a playmaker from what ive seen

[The Negotiator]

Foster to 49ers, they cashed in big

Well, that's what matters. I guess that's Ozzie's new prerequisite. Make sure the pick's from Alabama, and he's there to hug the Commish!!

Sonyour saying don't take best available player?

[Bruce_Almty]

Cleveland is starting with a killer draft; I would not automatically be pencilling in a 'W' on the schedule.

We spent so much on secondary this offseason and we reached on a pick. I still would like to take eat player avalible

[kassaiscool]

Questionable pick since he gets burned deep a in college. I think I read somewhere on pff that says he gives up 50 percent completion percentage on passes towards him. Ozzie needs to stop drafting Alabama players a lot of them don't even live up to the hype. Besides Mosley every Player from Alabama doesn't meet there expectation in the Pros

[Purple Dawg 96]

Time for Ozzie to pack his bags, horrible pick with who was on the board. Ozzie your time has passed. Thank you for what you have done. Steve time to make some serious offseason moves after this year.

You kick rocks 'BUDDY"! Sound like Busta Rhyme with all this ya ya ya ya ya! YUP!

49ers cleaned up

If they have to waste a FIRST round draft pick as INSURANCE for ANOTHER 1st ROUND draft pick (who makes $12+mil. a year, then this FO is much more screwed up than even WE know!

[Ravensfansince03]

I'm scratching my head about this pick, but I'm hoping it pans out extremely well. I thought our biggest issue was a lack of talent on D-line. Last season our d-line was about as non-factor as it's ever been in our team history.

[BMORE21]

No ball skills nor instincts.

Well you have made the assumption that the Ravens board looks like the board that you are referring too. I am not saying definitively that he was the bpa because really we don't know. But I think it is possible that both Allen and Foster fell down their board because of injuries.

[Raven4Life!]

We take the 2nd best CB in this year's draft (after Sidney Jones' injury) and Ravens fans are still complaining! Fans have been crying for CB help after seeing the Ravens blow numerous late 4th Qtr leads.....because of a weak secondary.....and now we have one of the NFL's best secondaries and still no love. (Even when we know about Jimmy Smith's durability issue).

Yes, we could have gone with one of the other 3 Alabama players still on the board but we do NOT need another DT or TE and Foster must have had some issues/red flags or he would not have lasted until the 31st pick.

These coaches look at thousands of hours of film and game tape, but obviously some fans know much more than the coaches. Send an email or give Owner Steve Bisciotti a phone call.....he may be hiring!
