Ravens take up-close look at Derwin James, while keeping fingers crossed

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti ruled out the team selecting a defensive tackle in the first round of the NFL draft.

He didn't say anything about picking someone who can play all the other positions on defense.

The Ravens desperately need offensive playmakers, but Baltimore would be hard-pressed to pass on Florida State's Derwin James if he surprisingly fell to the No. 16 overall pick.

Ravens defensive coordinator Don "Wink" Martindale was in Tallahassee, Florida, on Tuesday to watch James' pro day and get an up-close look at one of the draft's most exciting talents.
