Thanks to Josh Roberts for sending me the Baltimore Ravens selection at No. 58. Getting close to the Steelers pick at No. 61, so great work by all with the solid but not-too-frantic pace throughout this process. Next up: the Atlanta Falcons, represented by Bluegrass Steeler. - Michael B. -

The Ravens Select Christian Ballard, DE, Iowa
The Ravens are in need of youth on the DL, a rush OLB and a good RT since it appears that Gaither is now leaving. The best player available at any of those positions is Christian Ballard, the 6-4 286lb defensive end from Iowa is often overlooked by the casual observer due to his partner in crime at Iowa Adrian Clayborn's success. However Ballard is a very athletic DE for the 3-4 and is strong at the point of attack. Although his tape shows certain inconsistencies, with such a great group to learn from in Baltimore he will be able to learn and contribute in the rotation early.
Some other notable players at this point that Baltimore could consider:
- James Carpenter OT Alabama
- Marcus Gilbert OT Florida
- Sam Acho DE/OLB Texas
- Dontay Moch DE/OLB Nevada
