Ravens Draft Needs / Ravens Draft Board
Urgent: An inside linebacker to replace Bart Scott, who was signed away by the New York Jets, a placekicker to replace Matt Stover, who is no longer a Raven, and a cornerback to replace Samari Rolle, who was released.

Strong: The second-day draft choices for the Ravens should be an inside linebacker to groom behind Ray Lewis, a versatile reserve inside offensive linemen, a wide reciever to eventually replace Derrick Mason, two 3/4 defensive ends to be groomed, and a nose tackle to be groomed.

Moderate: With any leftover 2009 draft choices or as rookie undrafted free agents, the Ravens should acquire an offensive tackle, special team standouts, and a dime back.

Nice to Have: A free safety to be groomed, more special teamers, and an extra nose tackle would be nice-to-haves.

Wild Card: Can Tom Zbikowski fill the shoes of departed strong safety Jim Leonhard?

Answers: Linebacker Ray Lewis was re-signed and center Matt Birk was signed to replace Jason Brown.
