On that link of you click on his name on down the page there's an interview. Kansas and Baltimore is how he's followed... Guess why?
The same reason anyone not from Baltimore follows them, ray Lewis

And if the Queen had balls, she'd be King.* Can't teach bone length, son.FTFY. Amazing how much better the OL played once Castillo started "hanging around the team" in early January. Coincidence? We conjecture, you concur.
*"Balls," said the queen. "If I had two, I'd be king."
The king laughed, not because he had to, but because he had two.
"Nuts," said the prince. "I've got them, and I'm not king."
"Crap," said the king, and 50,000 loyal subjects squatted and strained, because in those days, the king's word was law.

Well, let's hold on before we use those guys are evidence. Flacco has obviously been a dead-on bulls eye, but he was graded out as a 1st or 2nd round talent by everybody. Nobody else on that list have made significant contributions in NFL games.

The ravens have the best scouts in the game. They find the value and the talent. I thought the thread would be about the free agents. They keep the guys like Rice, Webb and Joe who are clearly top ten at thier positions, but the the guys they can replace for less always seem to get replaced effectively. The Brown vs Birk deals a prime example.
Small school prospect to check for is Jeremy Jester from Central Arkansas. He is a big time athlete that started as a Te at Tennessee but now is a de prospect with nice open field range and hands. His measurable s will be impressive but good luck finding decent game film on line.

Presuming Oz can find the necessary trade partners. Frankly I'm somewhat surprised he gets so many opportunities to maneuver--were I an NFL GM I'd lay a firm grip on my wallet whenever caller ID says it's Mr Newsome on the line. Then again, I guess these guys don't get to GMship without absolute certainty they're the smartest mofos in the bidniz...

The difference from Ozzie and most of the league is that the Ravens big board is usually unlike most others. Every team looks at the same players, but there is something that the Ravens are looking for that works that most of the league hasn't caught on too. Ozzie's going to pick whoever is on his board that has the best value at that particular slot. It's all about how a team values a player and the Ravens are top 3 in that category especially since they regularly draft in the backend of the early rounds.

Re: Ravens are not afraid to search all rosters, that's why they are successful
Keep in mind that LT, much like QB (but to a lesser degree) go higher than their actual talent level based on importance of position. I can't see Armstead lasting through another 31 teams if he's there at 32. I am all for moving up in the 2nd round though. I'd rather grab a S/ILB/DL in the 1st and move up for Armstead in the second and sacrifice a few picks. Would much rather address needs early than end up with 11 guys who will slowly become irrelevant. I think this draft is going to have a lot of moving around to address needs and OZ is damn good at that. Real pumped to watch
