Raven fan, listen to me very carefully.....it would be best for the ravens to STAY AWAY FROM TROY SMITH. I know he won a heisman and had a great TD to INT ratio his senior year. But his last 2 games have been marred by accuracy problems, most notably at the senior bowl. In the senior bowl, his o-line played outstanding, giving him incredible pass protection. With this protection, Smith was inaccurate. He overthrew some guys, one-hopped others, and almost got picked on one occasion. I would not waste a pick on this overrated QB. Drew Stanton would be a better pick than him. Stanton is probably the 3rd best QB in the draft behind russell and quinn. Chris Leak wouldn't be a good pick either. If the ravens draft a QB, it should be stanton or kevin kolb. trent edwards is an interesting prospect who's been hampered by injuries the last year or two. But STAY AWAY FROM TROY SMITH.
The RB position could be addressed in the draft. I don't expect Marshawn Lynch to fall to bmore in the first round, so you could see them take a guy like a brian leonard or a tony hunt or a darius walker, or even a kenny irons somewhere in the second or third round. I Don't quite know who they should take in the first round. They could go LB since Thomas appears to hit the market. O-line is a possibility since ogden is aging. I expect either the o-line or the defense to be addressed in the first round.
Baltimore has drafted pretty well. They got Ngata, Landry, and Demetrius Williams among others last year. Each player contributed nicely. I expect them to have another good draft this april.
