Inside Linebacker

"Ray Lewis has decided to [retire].

Thankfully for them, the perfect fit is already on the roster, provided they can afford to keep him.

Free Agent Fix: Dannell Ellerbe

The highest graded inside linebacker on the Ravens roster, Dannell Ellerbe showed the production in 2012 to match the flashes we had seen from him in the past.

The one concern with Ellerbe is that his play will attract the interest of other teams."

I know there are mixed opinions on him, but I'd be down for Teo if its at 32.

I'm a fan of Nico Johnson if we haven't nabbed anyone by around the 3rd round.

Arthur Brown. I've become a big fan of his. He can come in and start at WILL right away therefore allowing Ellerbe (if we're able to re-sign him) to play at MIKE, which is his best position. Giving us one of the best ILB duos for years to come.

I will continue to campaign for AJ Klein.....unless he gets drafted by another AFCN team, and then I will hate him.

Brown provides the best value, but Alec Ogletree is the best linebacker in the class.

The Ravens need to pick whoever is the best cover guy (that's left at #32). That’s where the defense got gashed badly this last year. Passes to TEs and slot receivers over the middle.

Ellerbe can be a playmaker on rushing downs, and he can get to the QB on occasion as well, but he’s not that great when covering on passing downs. If the Ravens re-sign him (which they should), then he’d be best with a faster, more athletic guy alongside him. You want someone who can keep up with guys like Aaron Hernandez and Vernon Davis.

So if that’s Arthur Brown, or Khaseem Greene, or anyone else, I’d be all for it. I don’t think it’s Manti Te’o.

However, I also wouldn’t mind the Ravens snatching up Jon Bostic as well if he’s still there in the 3rd round. I’ve watched the Gators a few times this year, and he’s looked like a playmaker every time. He and Elam have easily been their most noticeable players on defense.

1 thing is for sure. This is a great draft to need an ILB.

I voted Brown based on best "value" as the poll indicated. Though, I like Minter, Greene and Brown all about the same, but I believe Brown will fall further than the other two.
