Re: Behind Enemy Lines
the steelers don't just draft receivers for the steelers they also draft receivers for the rest of the league. there has been ex-steelers starting for teams all over the league. thye never need to offer a second contract to a receiver because they are able to draft another to take their place.
our OL needs to get up to speed before we face the steelers.

Re: Behind Enemy Lines
in our defense, we only drafted 7 WRs in the first three rounds during 2+ decades under Ozzie Newsome. steelers drafted twice as many over that span. if we had used as many high draft picks as them and had these results it would be much more depressing.

Re: Behind Enemy Lines
What stands out for me is that they have found talent outside the first round.
Ward 3rd
Randle El 2nd
Mike Wallace 3rd
Emmanuel Sanders 3rd
Smith Shuster 2nd
Washington 2nd
Claypool 2nd
GOTA's list of misses is just as long, but they do have hits. When have the Ravens ever hit on second or third round receiver? Torrey Smith and....?
And when the Steelers occasionally use a first rounder on a player, they tend not to miss. Burress, Holmes. I don't think I need to review the Ravens first round WRs.
They like to use their first round picks on defense or interior offensive line.
Hopefully Decosta has snapped the tendencies when it comes to the Ravens drafting WRs.
