Notes on the picks.
Stephen Hill
- Someway, somehow, the phenom ends up falling in the draft because of a run on another position such as DT, OL or even QB. This pick does not really need to be talked about, we all know what he would bring to the Ravens.

Mychal Kendricks
- This is another pick that has been thrown around Baltimore draft boards lately. With a blow up performance at the combine, Kendricks is likely moving into the 2nd round. Although he does not have the wanted height, Kendricks is a fearless tackler in the mold of the great Sam Mills.

Cam Johnson
- There is no question that Ozzie is going to have to reload the front seven after losing 3 key players in Redding, JJ and McKinney. Johnson could step into the role that starting OLB, Paul Kruger, had for the last 3 years as a situational pass rusher.

Omar Bolden
- Most don't see CB as a need what-so-ever with the top 3 of Webb, Smith and Williams sticking around Baltimore for a while. But Ozzie sees Bolden as the absolute BPA here, and makes the trade back into the 4th round to get a player who I think is one of the best press coverage CB's in the draft this year. After losing 4 DB's to free agency, Ozzie reloads the secondary with a very, very good player. Would have been considered a 2nd round pick if not for an ACL injury. Special teams ACE.

- INT return TD vs. USC
Antonio Allen
- Ozzie snags another DB who we had met with at the Combine. Allen is a big Safety, heavy hitter who enjoyed a very nice career at South Carolina.

Quentin Saulsberry
- Another one of my favorite players in this draft. Very rare to find 4 year starters on O-Line in college football, especially interior O-Lineman such as Saulsberry. He played every position in college, but stuck mostly to Center and Guard later in his career. Have heard from a few draft outlets that he is up there with Glenn as the most athletic O-Lineman in the draft.

Dezman Moses
- Moses is not talked about much by many draft enthusiasts, but from what I have heard about him, could be a diamond in the rough. Baltimore was reportedly 1 of 8 teams on hand for the Tulane pro day. In just 2 two seasons at Tulane, Moses racked up 15.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss and 3 FF.
