The Baltimore Ravens got themselves a player in the 2nd round who has a motor that’s always running.  Kruger plays until the whistle blows on every down and he was a defensive leader at Utah in college.  Kruger is 6′4″, 265 pounds and he’s fast running a 4.8 40.  Kruger played in 26 games (24 starts) in his career at Utah and he made 124 tackles, had 24 tackles for a loss, had 10.5 sacks, batted down 12 balls, forced 3 fumbles and he recovered 4 fumbles.  This was another solid pick for the Ravens as Kruger should help them in passing downs as a rookie.

The Ravens decided to trade up and select OT Michael Oher who was dropping in the NFL Draft.  It was smart to get some protection for Joe Flacco.  With no WR available that the Ravens had to have they decided to go in a different direction.  Oher stands at 6′5″, 309 pounds and he can handle either tackle or guard in the NFL.  Oher played 4 seasons at Mississippi playing in 48 games (47 starts).  The Ravens make another smart move in the draft which is starting to become expected.

The NFL has suspended 23-year old safety Daren Stone for the first four games of the 2009 NFL season due to a undisclosed violation of league policy.  Stone played in 8 games for the Ravens last season and he made a whopping 4 tackles and defensed 1 pass.  He has now played in 20 games for the Ravens in his 2-year NFL career and he has made 14 tackles and defensed 1 pass.  This suspension shouldn’t hurt the Ravens much as Stone isn’t that good of a player.
