The champion Giants need help at tight end. The Pats, among others, are hopeful their corners step up. Pete Prisco also sees concerns at receiver in Denver, quarterback in Arizona and every team after free agency and the draft.

Here is a statement from the Ravens organization pertaining to the reports regarding OLB Terrell Suggs.

Gino Gradkowski grew up following his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers, but after the rival Ravens took him early in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL draft, the Delaware interior lineman couldn’t have sounded more pumped about joining the Ravens in a Saturday conference call with Baltimore media.

Looking to round out their defensive line rotation, the Ravens has signed veteran nose tackle Ma'ake Kemoeatu, the team announced Wednesday. Kemoeatu will likely replace backup nose tackle Brandon McKinney, who signed with Chuck Pagano and the Indianapolis Colts in free agency.

For the first time in a decade, the Ravens last weekend drafted three players from college football programs that were below the Division I FBS (formerly I-A) level. As Ravens director of player personnel Eric DeCosta put it, the Ravens “had to manufacture some runs this year” because the team’s draft board was similar to those of the NFL’s 31 other teams and 147 of their top 150 players were selected.

To argue that the Pats' Spygate-era Super Bowl titles aren't 'stained,' as John Harbaugh articulates, is lunacy. Gregg Doyel says if Harbaugh's wrong, we soon should start accepting the fact water boils at 32 degrees.

Team lacks veteran running back and free agent market contains several of themHere is a question that the Ravens will have to answer in the coming weeks: Will they be comfortable going into the season without an experienced backup behind Ray Rice?

The two names you read here and pretty much everywhere else in the days leading up to the draft as it related to the Ravens and their original 29th overall pick were Alabama linebacker Dont’a Hightower and Wisconsin center Peter Konz . As it turns out, neither was as high on the Ravens’ draft board as we all thought.

The two names you read here and pretty much everywhere else in the days leading up to the draft as it relates to the Ravens and their original 29 th overall pick were Alabama linebacker Dont’a Hightower and Wisconsin center Peter Konz . As it turns out, neither was as high on the Ravens’ draft board as we all thought. In a live chat yesterday on the Ravens’ team website, www.baltimoreravens.com , Director of Player Personnel Eric DeCosta said that the team had about seven players that it really liked in the first round and Hightower was “not one of the players that we would have traded to get.” Again, that doesn’t mean that the Ravens weren’t interested in Hightower, but it does make it pretty clear that they liked several other players better. As for Konz, DeCosta said that that they think he’s going to be a very good player, but they had other players, including Courtney Upshaw , rated higher. My take on it is if the Ravens really liked Konz as much as we thought they did, they would have been willing to trade up five or six spots in the second round to make sure they got him. They did it for running back Bernard Pierce in the third round, even though that didn’t cost as much as it would have to move up and grab Konz. Instead, the Atlanta Falcons selected Konz with the 23 rd pick in the second round, and five picks later, the Ravens took Iowa State guard Kelechi Osemele . I guess the moral of the story is don’t believe everything you hear around draft time. Teams, especially ones that take the draft as seriously as the Ravens do, simply aren’t going to expose their hand until it’s absolutely necessary.

In case you missed Temple’s 38-7 win over Maryland last fall, the story in that lopsided Terps loss was Owls running back Bernard Pierce, who set a Temple record by rumbling for five touchdowns. Pierce had four of them before the midway point of the second quarter as Temple rolled to a 31-0 halftime lead at Byrd Stadium.

Despite the uncertainty over who will be their third wide receiver this season, the Ravens waited until the final couple hours of the 2012 NFL draft weekend to address the wide receiver position. Late in the sixth round, the Ravens drafted Miami wide receiver Tommy Streeter. He was the 27th receiver drafted this year, but based on pre-draft rankings from several draft publications and websites, the Ravens got good value with the selection.

While the Ravens came into the draft with a checklist of needs in the wake of some personnel losses, it certainly would be nice if they also found a way to add another downfield target for Joe Flacco.

Now that I have had a couple of days to defragment my brain after a hectic NFL draft weekend, I figured I would hand out superlative style-evaluations of the Ravens’ eight-player draft class. These are just the opinions of one man (though it’s a man who spent much of the past two months researching draft prospects). Feel free to leave your assessments or reactions to mine in the comments section below.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh diminishes New England's championships as stained because of Spygate. Then he apologized to Bill Belichick. Mike Freeman says the Pats and Saints may have been tainted but their titles weren't.

Posted
Last weekend, the Ravens drafted Alabama linebacker Courtney Upshaw to complement Terrell Suggs, the 2011 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. But after today’s unfortunate news, Upshaw might have to try to replace him -- if not at his position, then at least in terms of impact.
