Am I the only one not overly excited with the Ravens Draft??

No he's not solid either. He stinks

Because you pick at the bottom of the first round, by which point all of the potential starters at LT are long off the board.

As Grubbs said after he left: "The Ravens are all about the defense". He knew what he was talking about. Most of the posters here do not.

I would liked to have gotten a developmental LT somewhere.

Harbs said they worked until 4:30 this morning adjusting the board to make sure they got the right players. I liked this draft and keep in mind it's April. I wouldn't get too concerned about any single position for a while now, there's time...

I really wanted Armstead, but such is life.

Tried to what? Wish a good pick into existence out of thin air?

LT was never going to happen. But WR is a different story. Same with TEs. There were some good ones in this draft. The Ravens came up empty on several fronts. But hey...they got a bunch of D-Linemen. Great.

TE? The hell?

Defense was terrible last year; setting all time bad records. An injury and we're screwed. Then we lost all of those starters after the Superbowl. They were determined to fix that
