 Baltimore Ravens Draft Recap - 2007 NFL Draft
 This is always a team that drafts well. The Ravens tried unsuccessfully to get ahold of Quinn, but who could match that ridiculous Cleveland offer. Troy Smith is a nice gamble at a great value in the fifth round and they got the top rated Guard in the draft. Not very exciting, but as usual very solid draft picking up pieces where needed and getting great value across the board.

Overall Grade: B+

1 29 Ben Grubbs G Auburn
 Analysis
Grubbs bring real power and excellent size. Absolutely the best guard on the board. He's going to be a starter for a long time. One thing to remember about Grubbs as good as he is he has only been playing offensive line since 2004. Before that he was a defensive lineman then a tight end. Talk about upside. He has it in spades. Ben will turn into a year after year pro bowler in time.

Overall Value: 1  Pick Value: 2  Bust factor: 2

3 74 Yamon Figurs WR Kansas State
Analysis
An outstanding return man who can also be a No. 3 or No. 4 wide receiver.  He ran a 4.30 second 40 at the combine, the fastest player in the nation and will be an immediate difference on special teams creating fear in opponents.

3 86 Marshall Yanda G Iowa
 Analysis
Yanda was a two-year starter at Iowa. He is almost 6-7 and 307 pounds, and he ran the 40 in 5.25. His best position is probably at guard. He has a lot of upside and is mobile enough to be a NFL pulling guard.

4 134 Antwan Barnes OLB Florida International
 Analysis
Barnes has cornerback speed in a linebackers body. There is one theme running throughout the Ravens draft and that is speed to burn. We are talking about 6’ 0” 240 pounds and a 4.46 40yd time. He is strong as well benching 225 31 times at the combine

4 137 Le'Ron McClain FB Alabama
 Analysis
 He can block, we don't mean blocking like we see in the NFl these days, we mean blocking like Robert Newsome used to block. He just obliterates people.

5 174 Troy Smith QB Ohio State
 Analysis
Smith projected to the mid rounds mostly due to his measureables. People just think he is too short and doesn't have the tools. What he does have is all the intangibles and we will just have to wait and see if he can learn from McNair.

6 207 Prescott Burgess OLB Michigan
Analysis
He's another one of those LBs who can rush the qb and drop into pass coverage, but he is weak by NFL standards. He will benefit from the practice squad, but he fits Baltimore’s defense well.
