The Ravens 2013 Draft Results

  • Round 1: Matt Elam, S (Florida) 32nd Overall Pick
  • Round 2: Arthur Brown, LB (Kansas State) 56th Overall Pick
  • Round 3: Brandon Williams (Missouri Southern) 94th Overall Pick
  • Round 4: John Simon, DE (Ohio State) 129th Overall Pick
  • Round 4: Kyle Juszczyk, FB (Harvard) 130th Overall Pick
  • Round 5: Ricky Wagner, OT (Wisconsin) 168th Overall Pick
  • Round 6: Kappron Lewis-Moore, DE (Notre Dame) 200th Overall Pick

  • Round 7: Aaron Mellette, WR (Elon) 238th Overall Pick
  • Round 7: Marc Anthony, DB (Cal) 247th Overall Pick

This draft hurts to look at. Matt Elam has given every indication that he is a bust. Arthur Brown was a flashy draft pick that fizzled out like an open can of soda. The Ravens gave up on John Simon too early and his success with the Houston Texans proves that. There was very little to smile about in this draft.

Brandon Williams however was a great find. He may be the best nose guard in football. Wagner has been a solid right tackle and he filled a big need for the Ravens. While under utilized, Juszczyk is a good fullback. The Ravens got a star and two contributors. This draft is awful in many respects but it has some redeeming quality.
