As I have stated before in a previous post I am a fan of the Baltimore Ravens. The following is a list of their draft selections for the 2010 season. Needless to say with these players the Ravens are looking to stop the run and add some backup for the aging Todd Heap, while adding more weapons for Flacco. I would have liked to see the cornerback situation addressed but only time will tell whether or not these picks were wise choices. The Ravens traded out of the first round and added more picks to their 2010 draft which seems like it was the right move. Their first pick was at No. 43.
2nd Round, No. 43 – Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas
Quotable: "I'm getting Rookie of the Year," Kindle said in a conference call with Baltimore reporters. "That's my goal."
2nd Round, No. 57 – Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
Cody should pair with defensive tackle Haloti Ngata to give the Ravens a formidable run-stopping wall. Alabama never yielded to a 100-yard rusher with Cody on the line. The 350-pounder was seen by many as a first-round pick, but slid because of previous troubles to control his weight.
Quotable: “The Baltimore Ravens have drafted a defensive tackle who makes Haloti Ngata look like Kate Moss.” – National Football Post, Michael Davis Smith
3rd Round, No. 70 – Ed Dickson, TE, Oregon
The 6-foot-4 pass-catching tight end should add another vertical threat to the Ravens offense while filling a need at tight end behind Todd Heap. Dickson has experience playing at wide receiver and posted 42 receptions for 551 yards and six touchdowns during his senior year.
Quotable: “We think he’s got loads of promise as a receiving tight end. He can stretch the field, he’s got very good hands and catching range. He’s a big target.” - Ravens Director of Player Personnel Eric DeCosta
Pitta adds a sure-handed receiving weapon to the Ravens’ offense. Pitta caught 62 passes for 829 yards and eight touchdowns in 2009 and was one of most impressive tight ends at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Quotable: “I definitely think I’m someone who can stretch the field vertically and create mismatches in the passing game.”
5th Round, No. 156 – David Reed, WR, Utah
Reed, a 6-foot, 190-pound receiver, set single-season school records in 2009 with 81 catches for 1,188 yards his senior year. In Utah's spread offense, Reed ranked 15th in the nation in receiving yards per game (91.4).
5th Round, No. 157 – Art Jones, DT, Syracuse
Baltimore adds depth to the Ravens' defensive line and has a high upside. The 6-foot-3, 301-pounder posted 60 tackles, including 13 for a loss, during his junior year. A torn meniscus tendon in his knee cut Jones' senior season short.
6th Round, No. 194-Ramon Harewood, OT, Morehouse
Harewood, who has just four years of playing experience, is a bit of a project, but is a physical specimen with high upside.
He grew up playing cricket, rugby, soccer, volleyball and track and field in Barbados. Harewood attended Moorehouse on academic scholarship.
Physically, Harewood seems to have all the tools. He slimmed down from 363 pounds during the season to 335 pounds throughout the recruiting process and has really long arms and big hands.
