  1. Michael McAdoo happy to be back on the field

    Besides seeing limited action in a pair of preseason games last summer, Michael McAdoo hasn’t played a meaningful game in nearly three years. After going undrafted in the 2011 supplemental draft, he was signed by the Ravens as a rookie free agent, but the outside linebacker spent the season on injured reserve. And in two seasons at North Carolina before the NCAA suspended him, McAdoo made just 29 tackles and three sacks.

  7. Ravens start with defense in 2012 NFL draft

    Finding an outside linebacker wasn&rsquo;t necessarily viewed as the Ravens&rsquo; top priority heading into this week&rsquo;s draft, but when they got set to make the 35<sup>th</sup> overall selection Friday, they couldn&rsquo;t resist adding another potential impact defensive player and a pass-rushing complement to Terrell Suggs.

  11. Ravens news, notes and opinions

    The two names you read here and pretty much everywhere else in the days leading up to the draft as it related to the Ravens and their original 29th overall pick were Alabama linebacker <strong>Dont&rsquo;a Hightower</strong> and Wisconsin center <strong>Peter Konz</strong>. As it turns out, neither was as high on the Ravens&rsquo; draft board as we all thought. In a live chat yesterday on the Ravens&rsquo; team website, <a href=&quot;http://www.baltimoreravens.com/" target="_blank">www.baltimoreravens.com</a>, director of player personnel <strong>Eric DeCosta </strong>said that the team had about seven players that it really liked in the first round and Hightower was &ldquo;not one of the players that we would have traded to get.&rdquo; Again, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that the Ravens weren&rsquo;t interested in Hightower, but it does make it pretty clear that they liked several other players better. As for Konz, DeCosta said that that they think he&rsquo;s going to be a very good player, but they had other players, including <strong>Courtney Upshaw</strong>, rated higher. My take on it is if the Ravens really liked Konz as much as we thought they did, they would have been willing to trade up five or six spots in the second round to make sure they got him. They did it for running back <strong>Bernard Pierce</strong> in the third round, even though that didn&rsquo;t cost as much as it would have to move up and grab Konz. Instead, the Atlanta Falcons selected Konz with the 23rd pick in the second round, and five picks later, the Ravens took Iowa State guard <strong>Kelechi Osemele</strong>. I guess the moral of the story is don&rsquo;t believe everything you hear around draft time. Teams, especially ones that take the draft as seriously as the Ravens do, simply aren&rsquo;t going to expose their hand until it&rsquo;s absolutely necessary.
