I'm curious to see who everyone would like to see the Ravens Draft this year. I would love to see them address Defensive End or Cornerback. I believe these positions will be much improved if Rolle, McCallister, and Trevor Pryce come back Healthy, but I think the end is near for Pryce and Rolle. If they don't go with a Defensive End, I think it show they see a bright future for Antwan Barnes and Maybe even Dan Cody.

Second Round I think they should pick up a QB, Chad Henne or Joe Flacco. Have them compete with Troy Smith to be the future QB of the Ravens. Kyle Boller or Steve McNair will probably get cut, should be interesting.

I think people easily forget that this team was 13-3, second best record in the NFL, just a year ago. If you look at the amount injuries that took a toll on this team it is not hard to see why things went ary. I think this defense will comeback as strong as ever, getting our cornerbacks and DE's back, and the offense will be much better with healthy recievers, and Willis McGahee is quite the force. I think last year was a Mulligan.

The big Question is QB, I think they should see what McNair has left, but I really like what Troy briefly showed us. They should see what QB's are available in the later rounds, but I think they should take the Best LB, DE, or Cornerback available in the Draft in the first round. They should also continue to strengthen the offensive line in the draft. Go Ravens, Training Camp will be here before you know it!

The Ravens definitely need help at Cornerback. I refuse to watch them make Ben Rothlisberger look like Joe Montana any more. Are we forgetting this is the player who was sacked 8 times in one game including the "Bart Scott Hit" and looked like a scared little kid out there! I guess that means we need in our pass rush as well. The Ravens should Draft Colt Brennan late, I saw him play a lot, he is good.

I think the Ravens QB situation needs to be adressed. Boller isn't the guy, Steve McNair is finished, and I'm not fine putting the future of this team on Troy Smith. If Matt Ryan is available, or they can trade up to get him, they should make that move. I am intriguied by Joe Flacco, He seems to be this years combine Sensation. They need to find someone that will still be the starter 5 years from now. Enough of this QB graveyard!

As usual it is hard to get

As usual it is hard to get any information from teams about the draft because they can't reveal their cards. Thats why Draft Analysts exist. I definitely think Cornerback and Defensive end are their biggest wholes. First Round Cornerbacks seem to have an extremely high success rate as long as they can stay out of Stip Clubs. I think this is the direction they will go, they can't afford to have another year like last year if Rolle and McCallister gets hurt.

I think we are fine at offensive Line, we have a lot of young players that will continue to improve and you typically don't see great Results out of Young Lineman immediately, they have been adressing this situation for quite a few drafts in a Row. Our Recivers should have a much better year as long as Heap stays healthy, Look for big things from Demetrius Williams. Linebacker would be intriguing if Laurinitis was entering the draft, but he's not. I think after a combine he wouldn't escape the firs five pics anyway.

I would definitely like to see Troy Smith get a legitimate shot to be the Starting QB. I like his Poise, his elusiveness, and he has been pretty accurate. His in game decisions should improve with experience. The main knock continues to be his height, but I would say that Drew Brees and Jeff Garcia have been effective. It is September Yet?

Boller

I think the Kyle Boller expiriment needs to end. He was given his chance and we are still wondering about their future at QB. At least McNair could teach Smith and a Rookie some things.
