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.
