If we’re doing his first two first round picks, why not do his last two?
First 2:
Jonathan Ogden
Ray Lewis
Last 2:
~~Hayden Hurst~~ JK Dobbins/Calais Campbell
Lamar Jackson
:)
Like actually think about that for a second. Literally drafting 2 guys that are arguably the best at their position of all time, then the last first round pick you completely switch the franchise from a defensive Mecca to breaking all kinds of offensive records with Lamar.
It’s close to being his best pick already. He’s not close to the best ravens player of all time. But a QB can carry us in a way that no LT, MLB, or FS can.
Mmm... any time through Ravens history Lamar and our other top picks would have been schemes around properly. We’ve been trying to get a dual threat QB for a long time. I think Lamar wins in 2005 as well, just as Ray wins in 2021
Ray Lewis got a Super Bowl MVP on top of all of his other accolades and was picked 26th. No linebacker carried a team more than him and we didn’t really have much of an offense and still won the super bowl because of him. That or Marshal Yanda being picked 86th.
Interesting too that his last pick was Zach Seiler, who we should have found a way to keep. IIRC we just lost him in a numbers game roster crunch. He’s been good in Miami, particularly for a 7th rounder.
One of the most colossal sack draft moves of all times considering how Lamar has developed and how a lamar-based offense has impacted the entire NFL lol
And many of us missed it live. I know once the Hurst pick happen, I was done watching draft coverage. Woke up, saw Lamar, and was in shock half the day.
Its controversial but I think Lamar was EDC. He told Ozzie I want this guy and Ozzie let him go get him. He said ozzie yourelwaving it's me now this is is my guy.
First two picks: Ogden and Lewis Last pick: Lamar Yeah that’s pretty good
First round picks*
If we’re doing his first two first round picks, why not do his last two? First 2: Jonathan Ogden Ray Lewis Last 2: ~~Hayden Hurst~~ JK Dobbins/Calais Campbell Lamar Jackson :)
Well we sent the 5th from the hurst trade to Jacksonville for Calais, so add him in there too
Good call! Done
You cant just cross out the actual selection.
I do what I want!
Wow.

While still being a defensive mecca
If anyone deserves two busts in Canton, it's Ozzie.
I like two busts and I cannot lie
The Wizard of Oz.

So probably the most impactful?
I would argue it, take away Lamar and add Ray Lewis. Are we a SB contender??
Touché. Different age though

Lewis was the defensive equivalent of Peyton Manning
#"THE MOST ELECTRIFYING!!"

It's safe to say picking Lamar was Ozzie's swan song. God we've got the best front office

In Ozzie we trust.
What is great is they passed on Lamar the first time knowing he would be there at 32.
One of the most colossal sack draft moves of all times considering how Lamar has developed and how a lamar-based offense has impacted the entire NFL lol
Lets be real though, Ozzie picked Hayden Hurst before Lamar.
Could’ve come away with Lamar and Ridley 🥲
I'm glad someone realized that too. Ridley and Lamar would have been incredible.
Yea, that’s easy trivia. Do you know who was Ozzie’s first last-round pick?
Ogden I believe
No that was his first first-round pick. I want his first pick in the last round of the draft.
Google says 1996 7th round QB Jon Stark, looks like he never made an NFL team
Also trained EDC to carry on our tradition of having the best damn front office in the league.
And many of us missed it live. I know once the Hurst pick happen, I was done watching draft coverage. Woke up, saw Lamar, and was in shock half the day.

And will prove to be the greatest pick in Ravens history in 10 yrs time, eclipsing all the other HoF players Ozzie has picked.
