 | Jimmy Smith (CB) |
Pick Analysis: Ozzie Newsome is masterful at adding quality players at the bottom of the first round, and Smith could join a long list of productive playmakers found at the end of the first stanza. He is regarded as possibly the best cover corner in the draft with skills reminiscent of former Pro Bowl selection Chris McAllister. Smith could become an instant star in the Ravens' aggressive defense.
 | Torrey Smith (WR) |
Pick Analysis: The Ravens give Joe Flacco a legitimate vertical threat with the speed and explosiveness to blow the top off coverage. Smith's speed will certainly free up Anquan Boldin on underneath routes, while also allowing Flacco to push the ball down the field. Smith's explosive return skills could also create some big-play opportunities in the kicking game.
 | Jah Reid (OT)
|
Pick Analysis: The addition of Reid to the Ravens' offensive line is designed to fortify the depth and talent of their offensive tackle spot. He is ideally suited to play right tackle but could also be an option on the left side.
 | Tandon Doss (WR) |
Pick Analysis: Ozzie Newsome continues to add explosive weapons to the Ravens' receiving corps with the selection of Doss. He is a rangy pass catcher with outstanding hands and ball skills. He has big-time ability and could provide a tremendous jolt to their passing game.
 | Chykie Brown (DB) |
Pick Analysis: The Ravens grab another athletic secondary defender with the selection of Brown. He has the quickness and movement skills to play in a variety of roles in a sub-package.
 | Pernell McPhee (DL)
|
Pick Analysis: McPhee gives the Ravens a versatile defender to use in a variety of ways along their front. He has some rush skills that could help out the Ravens.
 | Tyrod Taylor (QB)
|
Pick Analysis: The Ravens need some depth at QB, and they get an athletic guy to fill a backup role in Taylor. He's a got a good arm and is a nice change from Joe Flacco.
 | Anthony Allen (RB)
|
Pick Analysis: With Willis McGahee beginning to slow down, the Ravens nab a late-round RB who could provide much-needed depth for Ray Rice.
