Baltimore's coaching search, first-round draft pick

The Big Lead wonders who will get the Ravens job. Many of the usual suspects are there.

TBL also throws in its two cents about Baltimore's first-round draft pick in April.

With the 7th pick in the 2008 NFL draft, the Baltimore Ravens select: a) Brian Brohm, Louisville, b) Matt Ryan, Boston College, c) Colt Brennan, Hawaii, d) Andre Woodson, Kentucky, e) Chad Henne, Michigan, f) John David Booty, USC, g) Erik Ainge, Tennessee. Our guess is Ryan or Brohm will be off to Atlanta, so pencil in Woodson.

The Ravens have the #8 overall selection, not #7. Either way, I don't see them taking Woodson, Brohm or even Ryan in the first round. None of those guys are rated that highly, and frankly Woodson looked pretty bad from what I saw of him in Kentucky's bowl game. As for Henne, Ainge and Josh David Booty being first-round talent, let's just say I hope TBL is joking. Otherwise Mel Kiper, Jr. might hunt those guys down and teach 'em a lesson about the NFL Draft.

My guess is that Baltimore will select a CB or DE with in the first round.

If this happens, you'll be wasting another 7 years or however long it's been. Pray it does not happen, in fact I'll pray for you.

One thing's for sure, the Pats won't be picking up any of those guys the pick before, so you have that going for ya.
