The Ravens’ power players assembled for a “high-level meeting” Monday in Owings Mills to discuss a variety of issues as the team approaches the Scouting Combine, free agency and NFL Draft.
Ravens Owner Steve Bisciotti met with Head Coach John Harbaugh, General Manager and Executive Vice President Ozzie Newsome, President Dick Cass and Director of Player Personnel Eric DeCosta for three-and-a-half hours.
They discussed where the Ravens are in terms of scouting for the draft, the strength of the draft, who’s out there in free agency and, in general, how the Ravens can be improved.
“It was a good meeting,” Newsome said. “We covered a lot of ground that we weren’t able to cover from our personnel meetings with Steve a few weeks ago. We’re ready for the combine. We’re close to being ready for the free agency period. We’ll be ready for the draft.”
Bisciotti was also in for the two-day player review around Feb. 3. Prior to that meeting, he invited Harbaugh, Newsome and Cass to his home for a weekend where they reviewed the 2009 season and planned for 2010.
Following Monday’s discussion, Newsome left directly for the Combine in Indianapolis, which begins Thursday. Newsome will be part of a competition committee meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday.
