It’s impossible to start any better than Ozzie Newsome did with his first two picks as the Ravens general manager.
Hall of Fame tackle Jonathan Ogden was his first pick in 1996. Future Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis was his second pick.
But more recently, the Ravens’ top picks haven’t been nearly as productive. It’s still too early to judge on some, but other high draft picks haven’t had the best starts.
Some of the names on the list include safety Matt Elam (first round, 2013), linebacker Arthur Brown (second round, 2013), wide receiver Breshad Perriman (first round, 2015) and tight end Maxx Williams (second round, 2015).
