Revisiting the Ravens' 2005 draft

Baltimore Ravens: 2005 Draft
Rd. Pick Player Pos. School
1. 22 Mark Clayton WR Oklahoma
2. 53 Dan Cody LB Oklahoma
2. 64 Adam Terry T Syracuse
4. 124 Jason Brown C North Carolina
5. 158 Justin Green RB Montana
6. 213 Derek Anderson QB Oregon State
7. 234 Mike Smith LB Texas Tech

Analysis:

This was not a banner year for Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome, who is highly-regarded as one of the best in the business.

There is a player on this list that sticks out, and it's sixth-rounder Derek Anderson, who is the best player in this class and the only Pro Bowler thus far. The problem is Anderson is thriving with the rival Cleveland Browns, and the Ravens are still taking heat for allowing that to happen.

Mark Clayton has been decent, but not what you'd expect from a first rounder, and second-round pick Dan Cody has been hurt all of his career.

The two offensive linemen -- Adam Terry and Jason Brown -- were good value picks.

Grade: C-
