    I wasn't sold on either of them. I wouldn't have criticized oliver in the 4th, but I would have in the third. I wouldn't have touched the tackle with a 6th.

    Also, if we're counting on the supplemental draft, we're already screwed.

    Just because it is the "supplemental" draft doesn't mean these guys are left over crap or something. These same guys would probably be drafted as high or high in the normal draft had they played this year. The Ravens got a huge bargain IMO, huge. Watch this guy become Ogden's replacement for the next decade. Oliver was also a real nice cover 2 CB who may be as good as Griffin at the CB position.

    True, you can occassionally find a decent player in the supplemental draft. But come on, it's not like we should be relying on that.

    Those guys could both be big talents, but they're also big risks. The tackle hated school, maybe it just wasn't for him, but that could also point to a number of other problems that may mean he can't handle the NFL either. Oliver could be hit or miss. I was surprised when his 40 time was so much slower than expected.

    Of course we don't know, and of course they could be great, but they are risky picks, so I don't see any reason to get upset about "missing out."

    You are forgetting the most important thing.
    These players are on other teams now, so we must hope they are miserable failures!

    We are relying on the supplemental draft.

    We're ranked higher in the draft than both of those teams which means WE could have gotten Oliver for a fourth and Gaither for a fifth. Would of been a risk worth taking IMO.

    I thought the draft order was randomly determined for the supplemental.
