Hard Knock Draft
Posted on 28 Apr 2009 by Lea Anderson.
If there is any common thread to Ozzie Newsome and the Ravens 2009 draft it would be that his draft picks could easily been cast as extras in The Wire.(If you haven’t figured it out by now, I miss the best show on TV – The Wire – and the Ravens tend to exemplify this show in more ways than one.) Stab wounds, lost kidneys, school dismissals, and homelessness describe, not defin...
