The Baltimore Ravens had the envious task on Thursday night of picking 32nd overall, reminding everyone in the NFL just who holds the Lombardi Trophy.
Now, with the draft over its a new season. General manager Ozzie Newsome has been trying to put together a solid roster after losing terrific players all over the field including Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Paul Kruger, Matt Birk, Anquan Boldin and Bernard Pollard.
So far, the team has done a respectable job with the signings of defensive standout Elvis Dumervil and safety Michael Huff, along with draft picks such as linebacker Arthur Brown from Kansas State.
Newsome is also hoping to find one or two diamonds in the rough, signing the following undrafted rookie free agents, according to Baltimore Beatdown:
- Jeff Braun, OL, West Virginia
- Gerrard Shepard, WR, Towson
- Will Pericak, DE, Colorado
- Murphy Holloway, TE, Mississippi
- Jordan Devey, OL, Memphis
- Brynden Trawick, DB, Troy
- Brandon Copeland, DE/OLB, Penn
- Matt Frustenberg, TE, Maryland
- Nate Stanley, QB, Southeast Louisiana
- Trent Steelman, QB/WR, Army
- Roger Gaines, LT, Tennessee State
