I don't think he was healthy enough to participate at the combine. Health/durability issues must be scaring teams but he always strapped up on Saturdays.

'Bout all he can do...he only caught 49 balls.

There goes your man crav. Broadway Schmoe will never be able to get the ball to him.

Ravens don't pick till 60....come on Ozzie!

Buffalo just took one of ours guys....Glen

Here you go! Have a seat...

Me too. Crav wants Hill...because he misses Travis Taylor.

YES! Kruger can't do what Upshaw can. Now move up for a lineman.

Here we go! Round 2 I'm Geeked!

Grisley and dark....the insanity in this world is mind boggling. You can peel a man's skull off with a framing hammer.

Did you see the look on Weedens face when he found out he was going to Leaveland? Like he got the flu...or a stomach virus....or his girlfriend just said she's leaving. Ohio has the red headed step kids for QB's.

Nice start to the season for a team that was supposed to stink. Nice sweep of the Blue Jays. The bullpen is getting the job done and the hitting is right on time. 12-7 and in 1st place. No prolonged losing streak. I like what Schmuck identifies as what is going right for the Orioles in this article... http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/schmuck-blog/bal-grand-slam-042612-pg,0,6265114.photogallery Here he grades them.... http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/schmuck-blog/bal-peter-schmuck-orioles-grades-041512,0,2950374.photogallery The Land of Pleasent Living...

I hope this happens...they can do it. Give me Upshaw and Konz.

Good Night!

Traded out....

shit! Pats took Hightower.

LOL...everybodys trading out of their slot to get extra picks.

That was a steal for the Vikings.....They just got 3 more players to go back 1 spot. The Browns gave up their fourth-, fifth- and seventh-round picks (Nos. 118, 139, 211) this year,

Browns just moved up to #3 to get Richardson. There will be a ton of movement by teams up and down the board. Throw out the mocks.

A draft day thread that we can chat on while the draft is in progress over the next few days. Ravens Pick Information Round 1 (Pick 29) Round 2 (Pick 60) Round 3 (Pick 91) Round 4 (Pick 130) Round 5 (Pick 164) Round 5 (Pick 169) Round 6 (Pick 198) Round 7 (Pick 236) Timing Round 1: Thursday, 8 p.m. ET Rounds 2-3: Friday, 7 p.m. ET Rounds 4-7: Saturday, 12 p.m. ET

Yes...and every year they turn over about 15 players so this is no big deal. The Ravens are not old. Average roster age is middle of the pack. Leach, Birk, Bouldin, McKinnie, Ayambadejo can all be replaced. They can all be productive this season. They are not Hall of Famers like Ray and Ed...who won't be replaced in quality but Ozzie will find some very good replacements and the coaches will taylor the defensive scheme to the strengths of the talent that they have.

They are all important. True...some years the needs are greater than others....but remember this: the Ravens are very strong in most positions and no team is perfect. I agree with your list of needs, but some of them will be filled by men already on the roster, some duriing training camp and 1 or 2 right before the season starts. What will hurt the Ravens most is if they don't get a very good guard, center or left tackle. They have to find at least 1 this draft. Ozzie can get another lineman or 2 after the draft and before the season starts to privide depth or a starting position. LB can wait one more year if it must (I don't think Ray makes it through the full season)...same for safety.. They will sign Flacco...he's not going anywhere. "They still have a load full of animals... I want Hightower but then again I want that lineman real bad.

That's a steep price to pay. Are they dumb enough? Here's what all the mocks have the Ravens picking... http://blogs.baltimoreravens.com/2012/04/26/mock-draft-monitor-final-edition/

I love reading Kevin Byrnes thoughts and observations...

Can he do that with an NFL D line rushing his face?
