The Bottom Line

Ozzie Newsome allowed two major vacancies on the line to exist after trading Jeremy Zuttah and letting Ricky Wagner walk. But the reality is that Ozzie isn’t an idiot – he’s earned his place as one of football’s best general managers. After expressing his urgency in creating a “bigger and stronger” offensive line, the first round could be the Ravens secret plan.

My best guess is that the Ravens use their first round pick on Cam Robinson. It may not be a sexy pick, but it’s a safe one.
