poor draft picks killing Ravens

[elj1201]

LB in general has been a disaster in the draft recently. Since '08 they've only taken 4 of them in the draft, Gooden, Phillips, Kindle, and Upshaw. Upshaw's shown some flashes this year, not bad for a rookie. Gooden, Kindle, and Phillips were basically zeros. McClain has never been much in run support, and Ellerbee's never had any clue in pass coverage. Neither one of them are above average NFL LBs.

Agree 100%
Wish they could have moved up a few spots and taken Hightower over Upshaw. He's having a pretty respectable rookie season in NE. Belichick got us there. Ray Lewis' successor was right there and we lost him.

The big mistake the Ravens was not bringing back Grubbs, it was not finding anyone to play LT. Osemele is decent at RT and would probably be very good at LG. Need to move Oher back to RT next year and find someone to play LT.

Can't justify that much $$$ on interior lineman. Yanda had just got his contract. People don't realize how good we had it with Grubbs until after he's gone. I know Ray Rice misses him.
