The Ravens even tried to sign a couple that couldn't be because of failed physicals...
Terrence Jones
David Peterson
Lexington Smith

This is where Ozzie Newsome shines. He finds a ton of players with tons of talent, but some areas around them where they need to improve. By having such a high talent pool for the coaches to do their part, the Ravens end with a much better overall roster come week 1 of the NFL season. Even better yet is that the Ravens have names on file for depth purposes in case an entire secondary gets injured for instance.

You might even remember some of the more notable UDFA players of Ravens' past. Names like Bart Scott, Justin Tucker, and Priest Holmes for example. So clearly these players have a shot at not only making the roster, but eventually starting and becoming something great for coach John Harbaugh and the Ravens.
