06/25/2006 | The Ravens spent this year's draft filling needs, which is a smart strategy considering that they have been getting weaker both on defense and offense since their 2000 Super Bowl win. They made an excellent first round pick in Defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, who will be able to plug some holes and take the pressure off of the team's LB led by Ray Lewis. Another defensive pick, CB David Pittman, will also join the team. They also made some significant upgrades on offense, selecting center Cris Chester, WR Demetrius Williams and runningback P.J. Daniels. Daniels was selected to inject some youth into the RB position. Jamal Lewis isn't getting any younger after all. Overall, this along with their offseason move to acquire QB Steve McNair should make this team much more competitive. They're still in a tough division though, making it all the more interesting. There's a decent chance that the Ravens will make the playoffs this year as a wild-card team.

05/08/2006 | I think Baltimore did more through free agency this year than in the draft but they always stay on the fringe so they will be pretty good this year. Last year they did great by taking my boy Clayton from Oklahoma....

05/01/2006 | The Ravens were able to get their #1 target in Haloti Ngata, who was thought of as the best defensive tackle in the draft. I also like the pickup of PJ Daniels to step in and take on some of the role that Chester Taylor filled the last few years. They filled several other needs with a blocking tight end and several defensive backs.
