Re: Strategy for first round pick.
With such a deep draft for lineman, both offensive and defensive, I can see Ozzie trading back into the 2nd and acquiring more picks. Since we'll have a ton of comp picks, I can see him using our regular picks as ammunition to move up or down in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rounds to find "their" kind of guys to fill holes in the roster. Lets face it, 2012 was absolute monster of a draft for Eric and Ozzie. I unless they whiff totally in 2013, I can it being a very good draft.

Re: Strategy for first round pick.
I agree with the possibility, even likelihood, that someone will want to trade with the Ravens to try to jump in front of KC's 1st pick in 2nd round. Or do so to pick up a QB sitting out there still at that point. More picks in middle rounds is where the FO makes its hay.
BTW- concerning Te'o- do you really think Ozzie will be that interested in him- early on, anyway- given how poorly he played against his alma mater?And the Beatdown goes on.......

Re: Strategy for first round pick.
If they're not in love with a player that's there at 32, or that they think will be there, I can see them trading back. As you stated, it's become common. They obviously don't need more picks this year but getting picks for future years is always a good thing.

Re: Strategy for first round pick.
I don't know what to make of Te'o. He clearly stunk in the championship game, so I am not enthusiastic about him. I didn't see enough of him to know if he was overhyped as a Notre Dame guy or if he was thrown off his game one time because of the scandal. If I am guessing I will say someone else take him earlier but Ozzie passes if he's still there. Look at the success they've had with undrafted inside linebackers -- McCain, Ellerbe, Bynes, Scott, McClellan. I think they have needs that could use a first rounder more than ILB. Of course, to contradict my earlier statement, if they can't sign Ellerbe then it might change things.

Re: Strategy for first round pick.
That's intriguing. They've certainly done well in the past with that strategy, getting Ray Lewis and Jamal Lewis when they pocketed a future first round pick.
And when they did the opposite, trading a future first rounder, it killed them (Acquired Kyle Boller and New England used their pick the next draft to take Vince Wilfork, leaving the Ravens to take Dwan Edwards with their top pick that year).
Belichick loves that strategy. Two years ago he gave New Orleans his 28th overall pick (so New Orleans could draft Mark Ingram) and in exchange got a late second rounder in 2011 and a first rounder in 2012, which Belichick then parlayed into the Chandler Jones pick).
So the precedent is there for the Ravens to swing the same sort of deal and end up with two picks in the second round and a spare first rounder next year.

Re: Strategy for first round pick.
There was so much talk that year about not resigning Dilfer and getting Grbac. I don't remember anyone looking to draft a QB. Chis Redman was the developmental QB. The thought was so focused on getting a player that could help the offense enough to repeat If they had picked Brees the fans would have thought that Ozzie had lost it. There was a lot of excitement for Heap plus Jamal plus a healthy Travis Taylor. Funny how things worked out.

Re: Strategy for first round pick.
I doubt they select 11 players this year. I think they have so many options to do either trade up or back depending on thier targets. I would even suggest they trade a few of thier picks this year for a few picks next season. (you get more value this way). Plus if they do trade this years picks for next years pick they can trade those picks for actual players before the later trade deadline in areas of need=teams always looking to dump players for picks once thier season is going south.) So many options.
