Vontaze Burfict

[Flacco Machado]

With each passing pick and really not a lot of talent left at ILB, I'm beginning to think more and more that the Ravens will draft Vontaze Burfict in the 6th or 7th round, or more likely, sign him as a FA. I just have one of those gut feelings on this one. Anybody else getting that vibe? I think Ray would love to mold this guy, who talent wise, was a top 10 pick coming into the year, and the closest thing to Ray Lewis to come out of the college ranks since, well, Ray Lewis.

I would rather take James Michael Johnson at ILB over Burfict if I was any team.

He gets drafted maybe 5th round doubt he lasts till 7th.

He's rated 246 by ESPN ...which means he may not be drafted at all. I think th Ravens have spoken to him and plan to take a chance on him as it seem they took some time with him.I think it would be a nice to see them pick him. Despite the combine the guy shows up on tape and is a good football player.

Signed with the Bengals according to his Wikipedia page.

According to Wilson, Marvin Lewis had been in touch with him and showed interest the whole time. The guy is a risk/high reward guy. But he was a vending machine for personal fouls and those penalties were big contributors in a few of his teams losses. I'm glad looking back that the Ravens passed.
