From experts to fans, there seemed to be a mix of emotions. Some were happy about the pick while some think thought otherwise.
Shocking pick by the Ravens who select CB Marlon Humphrey, the one Alabama player nobody expected Ravens to take.

Ravens secondary this year: Marlon Humphrey, Jimmy Smith, Eric Weddle, Tony Jefferson, Brandon Carr, Tavon Young. Hard not to like that.

Next: NFL Draft: There Is A Ton Of Talent Left For The Baltimore Ravens
Out of all the Alabama players available at 16, Ozzie Newsome decided to go with Humphrey. He took him over the likes of O.J. Howard, Jonathan Allen, and Reuben Foster. Regardless of reactions it is way too early to have a real reaction to the pick.Humphrey has not even played a single down in the NFL yet. It is hard not to like the depth that the secondary has now. They are going to be significantly better at the start of the season compared to last year. Now is definitely not the time to panic if you are a Ravens fan. With six picks still left in the draft, there tons of moves to be made. Do not count out trading back either.
