Re: 48th Overall Pick: Tim Jernigan
Ok. That actually makes sense to me. We sucked on defense in 2012. Those guys you listed, along with Terrence Brooks, are a completely re-worked unit. And we needed one.
Still would like to see some offense in this draft.
The 2012 draft is interesting. We talk about those guys as disappointments based off this past year. But I think it's rare for a SB champion to get as much of a contribution from its rookies, as the 2012 Ravens did. Osemele was a full-season starter on the O-line, all the way thru the SB. Upshaw started half the games, I guess depending on the offense's set: he was in the rotation all year. Bernard Pierce gained 500 yards in the reg season, and I think he was our leading rusher in the postseason. At least he was in the Indy game. I think Christian Thompson and Asa Jackson got some playing time in the SB as well – might be wrong about that.
My point is, even if no Pro Bowlers emerge, 2012 was a helluva draft for us, and was key to that championship. Maybe Pro Bowlers is not the only way to measure a draft – I'm not sure.

How come he wasn't mentioned in here on so many mocks for 2d round. I kept seeing names like Jimmy Ward and Bitonio and Latimer.

Re: 48th Overall Pick: Tim Jernigan
When they first announced this pick, I wasnt the biggest fan because I thought we would go for Moses. But little did know, Moses wasnt draft until much later, so maybe I bought into Mel and McShays evaluations a little too much.
Jernigan is going to be a beast. Id say look at him as a more polished/productive Art Jones when he came out of SU. And on top of that TJ didnt start until this year at FSU, so i think he might be just scratching the surface...which is scary.
