Draft Preview: The defending Super Bowl champs (vomit) benefited the most from compensatory picks, getting one in each of the fourth through seventh round, giving them the second most picks in the draft. The Ravens have needs at linebacker, safety, wide receiver and along the offensive line. The Ravens have been involved in 5 first round trades in the last 5 years, trading out of the first round entirely in 2 of the last 3 years. Expect the Ravens to be active in the draft day trading market again this year.
Draft Picks: 21, 37, 53, 84, 118, 156, 190, 197, (240), (251)

Draft Preview: Cincinnati doesn’t have any glaring needs on the offensive side of the ball, though a complementary receiver to AJ Green wouldn’t hurt them. On defense, their biggest need is at safety and linebacker. They have 2 second round picks this year so they certainly have the ammo to move up if there is someone they want.
Draft Picks: 6, 68, 104, 139, 164, 175, 227
Recommended Blogs/Twitter: Cleveland Frowns
Draft Preview: Cleveland has been involved in a first round trade in 4 of the last 6 drafts, so thinking they will stay put at #6 is nuts. Both of the previous times Cleveland had a new coach they traded down, and it’s easy see them moving down again if someone wants to get ahead of Arizona for the 3rd LT (Johnson). Cleveland added some players on defense via free agency, but still needs help in the secondary and at WR.
