Well, they go BPA on THEIR board. It's entirely possible that they have Osemele rated higher on their board.

I think it was need pick....Cant believe hes better than Massie.

Mike Adams, #steelers second rounder, had to convince them after they removed him from draft board. http://tinyurl.com/bpxyc8d

15 to go !

Why? Massie doesn't show good awareness blocking, and doesn't play with a mean streak. He's not someone that plays through the whistle. Those are usually traits that the Ravens look to avoid from their offensive linemen. And they may feel Osemele has a higher ceiling.

I don't necessarily have Osemele rated higher than Massie, but I'm not disbelieving that teams could do that.

That sounds a lot like another lineman we had... rhymes with Maither.

Additionally, I know you can't believe he is better than Massie Johnny, but there must be a reason Massie is slipping past all of these teams. Something is there that you, myself and the "experts" didn't know about.

This. Massie's sliding down the draft like The Banana Splits.

Well it said something disturbing ...perhaps this is why

The ability to provide for his mother played a role in his decision to declare for the draft. Sees football as a vehicle to change life for the better. Has improved diet since declaring for the draft.

There is something only known in the draft rooms...or every team is no longer taking the BPA. Why is Massie slipping?? Mr. Newsome has obviously earned the right to discuss his picks before someone like me who knows nothing attempts to "judge" his draft.

So if Massie is there when the Ravens choose would you take him?

[Floater]

Cinci or Cleveland might grab Adams and/or Hilton.

I'd love to know where he is on the Ravens' board.

Honestly, I'm too enamored with Adams and/or Hilton to go o-line a second time, but for someone that's ranked in the 30s to fall into the 90th pick? I'd probably just bite the bullet, take him, and try to trade back in to get one of the returners.

Ravens moved up picking now! after Cincy

[J.D.]

Ravens moved up picking now!

It's for Massie or Adams/Hilton. I'd be stunned if it's for anyone else.

[Floater]

Better be Adams! Don't pass it that talent!
