USC DT Ellis on Ravens' draft radar

Unless Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan is available when the Ravens go on the clock for the eighth overall pick in the NFL draft, general manager Ozzie Newsome and director of college scouting Eric DeCosta will be faced with an age-old dilemma.

Do they choose for need or do they select the most talented player left on their draft board?

In other words, is Southern California defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis too good to pass up?

Did they Ravens go back to the 4-3?

The Ravens don't need Ellis. Their defensive line is fine. They have Kelly Gregg, Haloti Ngata and Trevor Pryce, and even with Pryce's age, it's not a need. The Ravens do have some holes, but not along the defensive line. I've been pushing cornerback, and it's not going to change. Baltimore needs to draft a corner and offensive linemen in the first three rounds.

Bingo! Assuming Ogden retires.

I for one don't want Matt Ryan. CB is a big need and few realize this.

The depth at corner isn't stellar, and both McAlister and Rolle are over 30, and missed eight games apiece last year. So yeah, they definitely need to nab a corner early.

A QB can be found in the second, and then take a OL in the third. Even then, I still think they need to give Smith a chance.
