Ravens Draft
April 30th 2012 01:57
I thought I would write a report on the Baltimore Ravens 2012 NFL draft. One of my friends from the online world of Smackdown vs Raw 2011 is a big Ravens fan. I spend all my time on there getting my butt kicked by kids who don’t believe I am 42 years old. My addiction has cut into my writing time here and at the other sites I work for but that’s ok.
I really, really like the Courtney Upshaw pick in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft by the Raiders. That vaunted Ravens defense is getting a little long in the tooth and Upshaw will give them some pep in their step.
The Ravens looked for defensive help and offensive linemen which I felt was good for them to do. Running back Bernard Pierce and wide receiver Tommy Streeter were the only skill offensive position picks. Pierce will help out as a rookie but the very raw Streeter will be a practice squad player unless he excels at special teams.
Of course you can’t grade a NFL draft for two years at least to see how the players pan out in the league. But at first look I give the Baltimore Ravens a B for their 2012 NFL draft.
