Here’s a look at what other media are saying about the Ravens draft decisions. The Ravens traded the 25th pick of the first round Thursday to the Denver Broncos, who selected Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. In return for the 25th pick, the Ravens received picks from Denver in the second, third and fourth rounds of the draft.

I think I expected Baltimore to take Williams once he dropped to the Ravens’ pick at 25. The Ravens loved him. I thought it was incredible value if they’d have gotten him at 25. But at the end of the day, it’s hard to pay big money to both Haloti Ngata and — potentially — Williams if he pans out. Here’s where the story gets interesting. Baltimore paid a low three to acquire Anquan Boldin. To trade down 18 spots to a lesser-money pick (25 to 43), the Ravens acquired a high three. They viewed it as a no-brainer, and it’ll be a good choice unless all their players of choice for late in the first round are gone at 43.

Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed said Saturday that he’s “50-50″ on whether he will retire or return to the Baltimore Ravens for another NFL season.

Reed, 31, admits that Baltimore’s 20-3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts stings and that he doesn’t want to make an emotional decision. But after dealing with a serious neck injury for the past few seasons, Reed said that retirement is an option.

“It’s 50-50,” Reed said. “I got great doctors that I deal with. So I’m going to re-evaluate things and see how it goes. … At the end of the day, it’s my decision to play with injuries going forward for my career.”

Ravens No. 1 receiver Derrick Mason also said Saturday night that he’s undecided on his playing future.

Mason, 36, completed the final year of his contract with Baltimore and will become a free agent in March.
