Ozzie Moves Again
Down in the second round, and into the third. The Ravens just traded the 44th overall pick, their second-rounder, to the Giants for their second-rounder, at 56th, and their third-rounder, at No. 87. So as it stands, the Ravens will get three choices out of the first three rounds, and seven in the final four rounds tomorrow.
Newsome said he would look seriously at doing it, before the draft and earlier today, after they swung the deal to move up and get Haloti Ngata.
The Giants took Sinorice Moss, the speedy Miami WR, at No. 44. And going at No. 45, to the Titans ... RB LenDale White, USC. He of the hamstring tweak/pull/tear (depending on who has described it in the past month) and the "questionable'' character issues that arose late in the process.
And yes, to clarify, the Ravens passed on him, one spot earlier, trading down instead. Hmmmm. When they shrugged at the talk that they needed running-back depth and youth after re-signing Jamal Lewis and signing Mike Anderson, they weren't bluffing.
Winston Justice had gone 39th overall, to Philadelphia. White was the last of the freefalling USC stars.
Coming back when the Ravens make their second-round pick ...
