A major criticism among fans has been the lack of talent drafted since 2012, especially on the offensive side of the ball. This series will look back at all of Baltimore’s drafts following their Super Bowl victory, starting with 2013.2013 Draft PicksRound 1, Pick 32 S Matt ElamRound 2, Pick 56 LB Arthur BrownRound 3, Pick 94 DT Brandon WilliamsRound 4, Pick 129 DE John SimonRound 4, Pick 130 FB Kyle JuszczykRound 5, Pick 168 OT Ricky Wagner Round 6 Justin Tucker Jersey Super Bowl , Pick 200 DE Kapron Lewis-Moore Round 6, Pick 203 G/C Ryan JensenRound 7, Pick 238 WR Aaron MelletteRound 7, Pick 247 DB Marc AnthonyThe Ravens had two massive Hall of Fame-sized holes to fill on defense following the retirement of linebacker Ray Lewis and departure of safety Ed Reed in free agency. Not only were Lewis and Reed two of the best of all time at their respective positions, they were also two of the brightest football minds in the game and incredible leaders for years in Baltimore.The Ravens first two picks attempted to address this problem by selecting safety Matt Elam in the first-round and linebacker Arthur Brown in the second. Neither player panned out, which led many to prematurely label this draft as one of the worst in franchise history.Elam is considered one of the biggest busts under Ozzie Newsome’s tenure as GM. Still, Elam’s rookie season was filled with promise, combining for 77 tackles as well as recording an interception. As Elam entered his third year in 2015, injuries began to set him back. He would miss the entire 2015 season with a torn bicep, as well as half of the 2016 season before being activated from injured reserve. He would only play nine more games for the Ravens since the team did not pick up his fifth-year option. Brown was an ever bigger disappointment, only totaling 17 tackles while in Baltimore from 2013 to 2015. Newsome’s finest work came in the middle rounds of the draft in recent years, with 2013 being the best example. A strong rebound in the middle rounds would salvage this draft. Defensive tackle Brandon Williams Justin Tucker Jersey For Sale , fullback Kyle Juszczyk, tackle Ricky Wagner and center Ryan Jensen would go on to make considerable contributions. All four players became the highest paid at their position for the time, though only Williams remained in Baltimore.VerdictBest pick: Brandon WilliamsWorst pick: Arthur Brown BALTIMORE (AP) — By the time the Baltimore Ravens play another game, they’ll have gone five weeks without a victory.After enduring nine straight weeks of football to get this far, the weary, aching Ravens will gladly take a week off before attempting to end a three-game losing streak.Baltimore (4-5) will use the time off to rest, regroup and assess what went wrong during an inexplicable skid following a 4-2 start.“We’ll look at everything, as we always do during the bye week,” coach John Harbaugh said after Sunday’s 23-16 loss to Pittsburgh. “I think the biggest thing we need to do is get healthy and get fresh.”Getting back starting tackles Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and James Hurst (back) will certainly help an offense that started the season going 12 for 12 in converting red zone opportunities into touchdowns over the first three games. Lately, though, those chances inside the 20 have resulted in field goals.Twice in the first half, the Ravens drove deep into Pittsburgh territory and had to settle for field goals.“It’s frustrating because in these types of games Justin Tucker Jersey On Sale , you don’t get that many plays and that many opportunities, and obviously, scoring touchdowns is the name of the game,” quarterback Joe Flacco said.In the first half, Pittsburgh scored two touchdowns and the Ravens got two field goals. That put Baltimore in a hole from which it could not recover.“It helps if you can run it in,” Harbaugh said.The Ravens have yet to get their running game on track. On Sunday, they finished with 61 yards rushing — including two attempts for 4 yards after halftime.“I think we can turn it around,” wide receiver John Brown said. Brown was Flacco’s go-to guy early in the season, but his effectiveness has been negated by frequent double teams.“Things happen. We have to find a way to get it right,” Brown said.But a struggling offense is only one of Baltimore’s issues.The NFL’s most dominant defense has suddenly become vulnerable to the pass, particularly the underneath routes that elongate drives and turn short throws into big gainers.“They kept us on the field for a lot of long drives, just grinding us down Justin Tucker Jersey Sale ,” defensive end Brent Urban said. “You can’t win like that.”Since blanking the Titans 21-0 in Week 6, the Ravens have yielded 82 points in three defeats. Sixty-seven of those points came in a stretch of six periods through halftime of Sunday’s loss.“That’s not up to our defensive standard,” defensive back Anthony Levine said. “We know what our standard is, and that isn’t it.”With the Ravens struggling at the bye and in danger of missing the postseason for the fourth year in a row, it’s only natural that Harbaugh would start fielding questions about job security. He said Sunday he wasn’t concerned with being fired.“I’ve never been someone who’s worried about keeping a job,” he said. “It’s always been, for me, (about) doing the job.”
