In recent seasons, Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome has not had much luck during the NFL Draft. While 2016’s selections look to be a good haul, along with 2017 first-round selection Marlon Humphrey hopefully being a core defensive player for years to come, and other picks have gone on to sign big contracts elsewhere, there have been noticeable problems.
Baltimore took four straight defensive players in the 2013 NFL Draft, three of them (Matt Elam, Arthur Brown, John Simon) are gone. Brandon Williams still remains after signing a large extension last offseason.
