The Baltimore Ravens scouting department has been criticized in recent years. A lack of impact, especially at the top of the draft, has left many wondering why they have continuously missed on players. First round selections such as Matt Elam and Breshad Perriman have not worked out. High draft picks Terrence Brooks and Arthur Brown only lasted two years in Baltimore.
A few months ago, owner Steve Bisciotti discussed the Ravens problems when it comes to player evaluation and the scouting. He mentioned that the team has had a tough time replacing certain senior scouts who have helped the team over the years, such as Joe Douglas.
