nfldraft2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 It's always fun to look back and say what if. So, check this out, and see some of the Pro Bowl receivers the Ravens have barely missed out on in the draft, including none other than Brandon Marshall. http://www.pressboxonline.com/blog.cfm?ID=1986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yep. Hindsight is....... Still, our FO's inability to draft good WRs is disappointing.Maybe they can turn the tables this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid. You can do this for every teams weakness in the nfl. Can't be perfect every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 and everybody could have had Tom Brady. And how many Super Bowl rings does Moss, Jackson and Marshall have? I'll take Ozzies 'hits and misses' over any GM's. Sure he misses at times, but damn he's had an incredible number of hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I do not think the purpose of this article was to grill Ozzie, just point out some interesting picks and to show that a team can have success drafting receivers in the later rounds. If anything, this article should give us hope that we will be able to find a stud receiver in the mid-rounds this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceEight Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 The only one of those that really disappoints me is Williams vs. Marshall. The rest are whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 The only one of those that really disappoints me is Williams vs. Marshall. The rest are whatever. Why? We drafted DW in the 4th and he had the talent, too much health concern though, but there was a reason why he was drafted in the 4.th, I believe DW is a typical 4th rounder and his production is probably the same as most WRs taken in the 4th. If any thing why not Colston same year in the seventh, instead of Pittman, QS, Martin or our draftpick in the 7th round.. his name..? And two things there is no way you can conclude Marshall would have had the same kind of production here, most likely not, see our QBs struggle, in 2006 DW had more yards than Marshall, in 2007-08 our QB would have struggled no matter what. And then the personality, that he is a type like Plexiglas, Chad J and TO is one thing, but this women beater thing, sigh pas. And more important so will our FO probably conclude as well.

I don't think anyone would argue that Williams looked like a better prospect out of college than Marshall, and we even thought we had an incredible gem. Oh well.

The sad thing is that none of us would be surprised if D-Will went somewhere else, with a good QB and an opportunity, and started putting up Marshall-type numbers.

Yea right... Williams could go to Indy, NE, GB, or NO and never have a game where he catches 15 plus balls. Williams is good for one deep shot down the field.

Williams is good for one deep shot down the field. Are you kidding? Williams could definitely catch 15 balls in a game. It's just that you'd have to target him 30-40 times...
