NFL Draft

[dad2paisley]

The NFL draft is this weekend. Anyone going to watch it? I hope the Ravens make some good draft picks because we need some good players to make our team better.

I watch it. I've had more interest in years past watching the Miami Hurricanes put their players first in each position. This will be a quiet your for them but it is still a fun event.

Don't they pick LAST this year? :)

I hope the Ravens pick some good players. I hope they don't do anything stupid like trade down. I hope they keep their 13 pick in the first round.
I hope they make a trade with a team for Ray Lewis.

Yes they do. Word is if LenDale White is still available they may take him. He is a 6 ft. 240 pound running back, the kind of back th Steelers seem to like.

You don't like Ray Lewis anymore?

FYI: Ray Anthony Lewis (born May 15, 1975 in Bartow, Florida) is an American football linebacker for the NFL's Baltimore Ravens.

Lewis is widely considered one of the best linebackers in NFL history, known for his immense knowledge of the game, tremendous strength, sideline-sideline quickness, trash talking and hard hitting capability. In January 2001, Lewis led Baltimore to a Super Bowl XXXV victory and was named "Most Valuable Player" for that game.

Lewis played college football at the University of Miami and left the university before graduating to pursue a career in the NFL. In the 1996 NFL Draft, he was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the first round with the 26th overall pick. In his career with the Ravens, Lewis has consistently gained over 100 solo tackles each season with the Ravens.

ETA: LenDale went 13th in round 2(45th overall) to TN. Pittsburgh did not have a 2nd round pick since they traded it to MN.

Thanks for the update on the Ravens picks.

Ray Lewis is but he is not in his prime anymore and wants more money and has bad mouth the Ravens this off season in the media.
We need to get some young guys for our defense because the players we have now are aging. We also need some corners and safeties.
Plus, Ray hasn't played a full season in the past 2 years and the Tenn. playoff game a few years back, Ray got beat badly esp by Eddie George.

I am glad we got Haloti Ngata. He is a stud player and tough. He will be a great addition to the defense esp since we lost 2 defensive linemen this year.
