like everyone said...we were TERRIBLE on 3rd and longs defensively last year...
you only have so many picks...apparently Pioli felt like upgrading the secondary was the better move with the players on the board when they were picking...
I have no problem with adding an OG and a TE...both positions of need...and a dynamic playmaker that can play in the slot/run the ball a few times/and return kicks here and there...
I'm sorry...I'm not disappointed about passing on Cam Thomas...and his 12 on the Wonderlic...and the fact that scouts say he takes a ton of plays off...
we will never draft a player like that as long as Pioli is GM...and I tell you what...I'm ok with that.

Dorsey missed one game.
And IIRC, the Ravens ran for over 200 yards in the opener.
