The Baltimore Ravens selected OT Michael Oher (1st round, #23 overall) out of Mississippi.  He had a great rookie season for the Ravens starting all 16 games for them.  He did catch 1 pass for -8 yards last season.  Oher’s life story was portrayed in the movie the Blind Side which was very good and I recommend it to everyone.  DE Paul Kruger (2nd round, #57 overall) out of Utah didn’t show much as a rookie but he did have one huge play intercepting a Dennis Dixon pass in O.T. against the Steelers setting up a nice win over the Ravens’ rivals.  He played in 9 games in which he made 11 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, he defensed 3 passes and he picked off 1 pass.  CB/KR Ladarius Webb (3rd round, #88 overall) out of Nicholls State wound up being a great pick for the Ravens.  He played in 14 games for the Ravens last season and he made 35 tackles, 4 tackles for a loss, had 1 sack and he defensed 6 passes.  Webb also returned 35 kickoffs for 918 yards (26.2 avg) with a TD return (95-yarder).  Linebacker Jason Phillips (5th round, #137 overall) out of TCU spent his rookie year on the Injured Reserve List.  TE Davon Drew (5th round, #149 overall) out of East Carolina didn’t get into any games as a rookie for the Ravens last season.  RB Cedric Peerman (6th round, #185 overall) out of Virginia got cut by the Ravens and he is on the Lions.  He didn’t play in any games as a rookie last season.
