The New Orleans Saints became the first of what should be many teams who pick up the fifth-year option on their 2013 first-round picks. The Baltimore Ravens probably won't be among them.
It would be surprising to see the Ravens exercise that option on disappointing safety Matt Elam before the May 2 deadline. There'e a good chance he'll be remembered as the biggest first-round bust in the Ravens' 20-year draft history, even surpassing quarterback Kyle Boller and wide receiver Travis Taylor.
To pick up the 2017 option, the Ravens would have to pay Elam between $5.
