Le 'Ron McClain
Le'Ron McClain, one of two fourth-round picks by the Ravens, was considered one of the two best fullbacks in the draft. Of course, Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome would like him because he is from Alabama, Newsome's alma mater. McClain is huge at 6 feet, 265 pounds. He is strong and could become a dominant lead blocker. He has enough athletic ability to also become an H-back. He also catches the ball well. The drawback is that he runs upright and needs some work on his technique. But overall he'll be a good addition for the Ravens, especially inside the red zone.

Still looking good, but what about the linebacker we took?
And are there any defensive backs out there worth taking?
Is there a QB? I wonder if they'll be looking undrafted invitees again.
What else do we need?

Grubbs and Yanda just what we need! and Figurs nice and I like Troy super! McClain Super, however the two LBs need to work hard, however they couldnt come to a better place to do that than here together with Ray, Bart and Suggs!

This looks like a very smart pickup. All in all, I think Ozzie and crew deserve very high marks for this draft, especially considering how close we were to the bottom, missing some slots because of what we gave up for McGahee, and the fact that this was a relatively weak draft for certain types of players. Assuming we can keep our guys healthy, we are the team to beat in the AFC North.
(And as far as what's going on in New England...there's not much we can do about that, other than get and keep our own house in order.
