Although the Ravens biggest need is CB the best player on the board is Dan Williams. With Kelly Gregg getting up in age, this may be the time to bring in his replacement. It may not be a hole right now but NT is a very important position and I don't think Ozzie would pass on Williams at 25.

The Ravens have been the best first round drafting team in recent years. The reason is they consistantly take the best player available later in the draft. They will take the highest rated player on their board, the way it falls the pick would be Dan Williams.

I don't know why people are saying corner. Webb was very good last year, and Foxworth really improved late in the season. And with a pass rush, an elite corner will just come about. Kind of like Asante Samuel with the Patriots. I said Kindle.

I went with Dan Williams, just may too much value at this point, and it is already sounding like this may be Gregg's last season.

If the Dan Williams falls to the Ravens, they will draft him. Much like Michael Oher last draft, a highly rated player falls to the Ravens in the twenties.

Now, that's assuming they're sold on Williams. If another team wants to trade up and they're not sure about his value at 25, I would not be surprised to see the Ravens trade back and acquire draft picks.

Dan Williams is just way too good to pass up here.

The Ravens have always been about tough hard nosed football, and all that starts off in the trenches. Dan Williams (if he some how makes it this far) is going to be the pick. Ozzie is a great drafter and not only is Williams BPA, but he fills a need with Bannan and Edwards leaving in free agency. Ozzie is too smart, he isn't going to let a premier NT get away in a thin class of D-lineman. While on the other hand, this draft is potentially a deep class of cornerbacks and wide receivers. So rather waste a pick in the first round on a DB or WR, where you can possibly get in the later rounds, grab the BPA in Williams.

So the Ravens are going to add a 3rd NT to their team? I don't see it.

Ravens biggest need is coverage. They had their sights set on Kyle Wilson, but with the Eagles taking him on the pick before they settle on McCourty. He immediately upgrades their secondary that was their biggest problem last year and would be their biggest problem hindering their run at a superbowl this year.

[RazorStar]

Yeah Dan Williams really can't fall any farther here, You have a guy who could have gone in the top 10 fall this far, the Ravens would be foolish not to scoop this guy up. Hell, with Ngata, Gregg and Williams the Ravens could run some kind of super fat 3-4 defense that would put Sam Adams and Tony Siragusa to shame. Lots of options here for the Ravens, but Dan Williams is just more talented than all the guys left on the board.

Michael Oher filled a need, Dan Williams does not at all. The Ravens have always been a team that draft for need and unless they want to take a split end receiver here, Devin McCourty fills their biggest need.

Exactly, they'll trade down to a team that wants Williams before wasting a pick and taking him themselves.

Webb + Fabian Washington = ACL, Webb PUP this season likely (AKA miss first 6 games)

We don't even have an average pass rush....

I picked Demaryius Thomas.....because I didn't like any of the other players left, and we need a receiver to groom under Mason and Boldin
