  2. Making sense of yesterday's flurry of activity for Ravens

    In a span of a couple of hours last night, the Ravens signed a wide receiver/return specialist, reached a contract extension with a veteran safety, agreed to terms with three of their draft picks and learned that their star pass rusher had successful surgery to repair a torn Achilles’ tendon. It was a lot to digest so here’s a summary and an attempt at explaining what it all means:

  6. 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.

  9. Mocking the Ravens: all eight of their draft picks

    I love mocking, which is why I have produced five first-round mock drafts in the past two months (and it&rsquo;s why I have greeted your criticism of said mock drafts with an aw-shucks shrug of the shoulders). In my latest first-round mock, <a href=&quot;http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bal-ravens-insider-nfl-mock-draft04242012,0,5929022.story" target="_blank">which was released Tuesday night</a>, I had the Ravens selecting Alabama linebacker Dont&rsquo;a Hightower with the 29th pick in the NFL draft. Why stop there? How about I project all eight of their picks?

  10. 2012 NFL free agency primer: the defensive linemen

    Houston Texans defensive end turned outside linebacker Mario Williams will be the marquee free agent this offseason not named Peyton Manning. (Interesting side note: The Texans drafted Williams No. 1 overall in part due to Manning&rsquo;s presence in the AFC South and now they will both hit the market at the same time.) He is a natural at defensive end in a 4-3 defense, but did well enough in 2011 to garner interest from 3-4 teams.

  11. Ravens expected to exercise patience when free agency opens Tuesday

    The Ravens' goal was to re-sign Pro Bowl left guard Ben Grubbs before he officially hits the open market with hundreds of other NFL free agents Tuesday at 4 p.m. Now almost out of time and with seemingly no indication that Grubbs is willing to eschew free agency, they say their focus hasn't changed.
