This
is always a team that drafts well. This
year is no exception with players like
defensive tackle Haloti Ngata. He should
be immediately plugged into the
defensive line. Baltimore also added a
lot of depth at various positions with
guys like David Pittman and Demetrius
Williams who is a heck of a prospect in
his own right. They did fail to address
the QB situation but that will probably
be taking care of itself. The Ravens
always seem to find just good football
players Chris Chester is a good example.
He is going to be a monster player he
just has the smarts and desire to be
good which is usually underrated by
teams when drafting.
Ngata has a powerful build and can be a run stuffer
on the next level. He also has some quickness to
collapse the pocket. Coaches at Oregon have said
Ngata was the best defensive player to ever come
through the program. Double-teamed on
virtually every snap and alternated between
brilliance and what seemed to be complacency. Rarely
stopped by one player. Ngata's 2005 season was his
most dominant. He was the first Oregon player since
1962 to earn consensus All-American honors by
posting 61 tackles, 9 tackles for loss and 3.0
sacks. He was recognized with the Pac-10's
Co-Defensive MVP honors, as well as ranking as a
finalist for both the Bronko Nagurski and Outland
awards...more
A developmental prospect with virtually no
experience as he spent most of his collegiate career
lined up at tight end. Nonetheless he is intriguing
as he learned the position quickly and played very
well. It says something about a player if they can
change positions and start in one year in the Big
Twelve...more
Pittman is a
small-school prospect who really
grabbed everyone's attention
with his performance at the
Senior Bowl where he showed off
his natural athleticism and
toughness.
Demetrius Williams has the height that more teams
are starting to look for in their receivers, and
good speed to go with it. His physical abilities and
potential give him a huge upside, making Demetrius
an enticing prospect...more
Daniels is a
well-built runner who has better
strength than you expect for a
shorter running back. He runs
hard with the ball, can deliver
a blow to a tackler and runs
through arm/grab tackles. He
tends to run too upright and
doesn't have explosive speed.
Landry is a tough
safety who comes up quickly in
run support and will make hard,
physical hits/tackles. He can be
overly aggressive though and
misses way too many tackles out
in space to be acceptable this
is because he wants to stop and
plant to deliver the hit and can
therefore be juked.
Sypniewski is a
tall, well-built tight end with
good natural strength. He runs
sharp, efficient routes and has
shown the ability to pluck the
ball with a defender trying to
climb over his back. He is
limited somewhat in his playing
speed so he doesn't make big
plays downfield as a receiver.
Martin is a very
good athlete with the foot
quickness, explosiveness and
playing speed to accelerate to
full speed in a flash and can
stay on a receiver's hip down
the field.
