Re: Who might we pick in round 2 (and round 3)?
I actually like Mike Davis quite a bit and no, I wouldn't be surprised or disappointed by this. He would be a good value pick if available at those spots.
The luxury selection of Mosley in the 1st makes the actual needs at OL and FS far more glaring. The Ravens can't really afford to get out of the draft without adding a free safety and offensive lineman who can each compete to start from day 1. They need a WR as well, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to wait on that if the board works out that way.

“When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. That’s the Baltimore Raven way.” - Steve Smith Sr.
Call me a Special Teams coach again. I dare you! I double dare you, MFer!

Here's what I'd do, providing the players are left on the board.
Antonio Richardson in the 2nd.
Jeremy Hill with our natural 3rd Rd pick
Torn between Ed Reynolds and Mike Davis with our comp 3rd rder.

Re: Who might we pick in round 2 (and round 3)?
Not sure the consensus on this, but I didn't see any FS in this whole draft who could start day 1. FS is a dying position in college. They don't use ballhawk types anymore. Teams look for run support and tackling, and place less premium on coverage.
The safe passing systems, quick hitters, bubble screens etc mean fewer balls over the top for safeties to get after so colleges, who have to defend mostly non-pro type offenses, simply aren't training players to play FS all that much. More and more they're moving forward to hit a ballcarrier, since the receivers are catching so many balls near the LOS.
The pros are having to follow suit. Last year the Ravens played with Dig and Elam, and I would expect this season and the future to be similar. They'll draft another safety, but if it's more a "strong safety" that won't be a surprise. That's mostly what there is.

I think we go defense again, followed up by RB and then WR (or vice versa)
Then we'll pick up some under the radar OL guys to compete late.
And sign an UDFA punter, TE project, along with a boatload of other guys.

Re: Who might we pick in round 2 (and round 3)?
I don't think they get the safety until the fourth round. I think they get an offensive lineman and pass catcher before they find their safety. I'd say the safety they end up taking is Wyoming's Marqueston Huff.
My ideal for the next two picks would b:
48. Morgan Moses, OT, UVA
78. C.J. Fiedorowicz, TE, Iowa
Alternatively:
48. Jordan Mathews, WR, Vanderbilt
78. Jack Mewhart, OT, OSU
For their comp pick at the end of the third, I'll throw out this wildcard:
99. Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, Eastern IllinoisLast edited by Shas; 05-09-2014 at 09:45 AM.

The Ravens 2nd round pick will be Carlos Hyde (if he gets past Cleveland)
