Just looking at the players that were cut, that has to be a horrible draft. We did well with at least one of our first round picks (Suggs) and with our 3rd round pick (Musa Smith). While Boller is a disappoinement as a starter, he could have a career in the NFL as a backup.
Our draft wasn't so bad. Most of our picks are still with us. A couple starting in addition to Suggs, Pashos will start and Mughelli as well (though due to injury). Jarrett Johnson is a valuable backup and Sapp is a special teams ace.

Our 2003 draft is probably one of the top three, if not the best, of any specific team's draft.
The worst draft of the Ravens existence
Lack of execution didn't get us Leftwich
Not sure that we needed to trade up to get Kyle Boller and wasted a second ; while I think Kyle will continue to blossom (ala Matt Hasselback if treated right), it was the FO not Kyle who made spent 2 picks for him
Dwan Edwards / Devard Darling may make the team but aren't real starters
At least we can be thankful that this is a rarity; if we were Cleveland we'd have to be dealing with this every year
1998 will always be the worst draft in Ravens history (hopefully anyway). 2003's doesn't even come close.

I agree he may turn into something great but to hearald him at a success at this point is lunacy, no offense.
And, BTW to whomever is STILL complaining about the Leftwich trade has not seen him play. The guy is and has beenworse then Boller with less potential, we would not have a successful franchise if we had drafed him.
I am glad we did not get leftwich though he may perform better with a better team around him. I think he will be seriously injured enough to jeopardize his career.
The fact is that Minnesota screwed up that trade , not us.
The year before or after Minn also screwed up a draft pick.
Laughing out loud. Don't let a Browns fan see this reaction. I don't think Ravens fans know just how spoiled they are. Some teams would KILL just to hit on their first rounder.
