It's the 6th round, and with the exception of Tavares Gooden, who was
selected within his projected draft slot, every other player selected on
Day 2 so far appears to be a huge reach for the Ravens. Marcus Smith, the
WR from New Mexico, was projected as an undrafted free agent. Even if he
does have good potential, why take him in the 4th round when he's off
everybody else's radar?? The two linemen chosen in the 3rd and 4th rounds
were also projected at much lower rounds, rth for Cousins and 7th for Hale.
Every analysis I've seen of Zbikowski is basically that he's a tough guy who
can't cover anyone. That's just great for a safety. Flacco is going to
make or break this draft because it looks like Ozzie and DeCosta have
potentially screwed up the Day 2 picks.

I'm not sure what to think about this year's draft. On the surface, it
looks like we did poorly. But we're known to be a great drafting team. I
don't know, maybe I'm getting too old for this and don't get the NEW ideas,
but to me, I think we screwed up.

We'll see!

Wasn't Kyle Boler a first round draft pick?
