With Ray Lewis nearing the end of his Hall of Fame career and neither Jameel McClain nor Dannell Ellerbe having established themselves as long-term starting material, it might be time to bring in a top inside linebacker. Notre Dame’s Manti Te’o was a highly-regarded recruit out of Punahou High School in Hawaii, which also happens to be the alma mater of President Barack Obama. A big, tough, aggressive ‘backer with superb intangibles and experience in both an even and odd front, Te’o would be a perfect apprentice for and eventual successor to Lewis. Baltimore could also use some reinforcements along the offensive line, where both Bryant McKinnie and Matt Birk are past their primes. GM Ozzie Newsome is always ready to pounce when a highly regarded talent unexpectedly falls into the Ravens laps so that is something to watch out for as well. I am not enamored with the guy. http://walterfootball.com/draft2012_1.php Baltimore Ravens: Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama Ozzie Newsome indicated that he'll be looking for Ray Lewis' successor this upcoming April. Well, Dont'a Hightower makes sense for a number of reasons. He's having a great year and happens to be the best player available. He can play next to Lewis right away. Oh, and the Ravens have had success drafting guys out of Alabama. http://walterfootball.com/draft2012_2.php Baltimore Ravens: Bruce Irvin, DE/OLB, West Virginia As good as the Ravens' defense is, they only have one player who can consistently get to the quarterback. Bruce Irvin would be a nice insurance policy just in case Sergio Kindle can't get healthy. http://walterfootball.com/draft2012_3.php Baltimore Ravens: Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma State The Ravens better hope Joe Flacco doesn't get injured anytime soon because the only other quarterback on the roster is the raw Tyrod Taylor. It might be worth it to grab Brandon Weeden as an insurance policy. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Peter-Schrager-Midseason-NFL-Mock-Draft-111411 24. Baltimore Ravens: D.J. Fluker, OT, Alabama: Fluker’s not as highly touted as some of the other left tackles in this year’s draft class, but the guy sure does road pave. At 6-6, 335, he’s shed a ton of weight over the past two years and has become a fleet-footed pass protector, too. http://www.mynfldraft.com/NFL-Mock-Draft #31 Mike Adams Ht/Wt: 6-8/320 lbs Position: OT School: Ohio State Class: Senior He was going against JJ Watt in this vid and looking solid.

This is nasty.

Don't you mean if Ozzie had made the call he is paid to make. Say no to the coach over a player he knew was not the right guy. Brian pushed him into making that pick

So a heartless Gaither beat up on the pass rushers. Barnes who was not good enough to play in Bmore kicked the OL's ass. The OL is not that good on the outside. Oher was being driven like a benz.

Well he has said he will not be a coach when he is done playing so I don't see that as an option.

Well he is the better Harbs. So if anyone can win he can.

I don't think he could play outside effetively.

On that end around I noticed Ray struggling. Ray has always been a smooth runner but he was herky jerky on the run last night.

That was the one I have seen masking it's self with smoke and mirrors.

Maybe last weeks pep talk helped out. http://www.hulu.com/watch/311565/saturday-night-live-tebow

We have no expensive TE's on the team. They are all negligably paid so that saves about no space. Um I guess Evens could go but he is relatively cheap on the cap.

He is a FA. Who knows who else down there is also on the market.

He does have to get through an off season. Maybe on the way back things aren't running on all cylinders.

I agree with the OL being very important. But people will need to leave. I expect JJ to be going. But several more will be on the move to. Who are they? Who has to go?

Then who is going to be cast off? Not everyone can stay.

I just don't see how they can put that much money into the OG position.

Color it purple.

What I love about this pic is the guy with the Ravens turban.
