Troy Smith is taking his Heisman Trophy to Baltimore. The second day of the NFL draft hardly was without big names and drama. No, Sunday couldn't match the slide of Brady Quinn and the dealing of three 2008 first-round picks. But it had some juicy angles, including Smith, the Ohio State quarterback, going to the Ravens on the final pick of the fifth round. That's 174 picks overall, the ninth quarterback and seventh Buckeye chosen.

Jonathan Ogden told The Sun last night that he plans to return to the Ravens for his 12th season. Ogden, the 10-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle, had been contemplating retirement since the Ravens' playoff loss to Indianapolis. Although team officials always remained optimistic about Ogden coming back, he made it official two days before the NFL draft, boosting the Ravens' chances of repeating as AFC North champions and returning to the playoffs. "I am coming back," Ogden told The Sun. "I won't say that it's 100 percent because I don't want to close any door. But unless something drastic happens to make me change my mind - and I don't foresee that happening - then I'm playing one more year." Ogden, 32, however, said he hasn't determined whether this season will be his last. "I don't know," he said. "I'll probably have to go through this again at the end of next season. I'm not one of those players who want a farewell tour or something like that. As long as I enjoy playing and am willing to prepare, then I'll keep playing."

Ravens officials said Wednesday that they remain optimistic that Jonathan Ogden will return this season but they have not received a definitive answer from the Pro Bowl offensive tackle. The offensive line is expected to be an ongoing story line for the Ravens this weekend because the consensus among NFL draft experts is that the team will address this position in the first round.

Defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, who presided over the NFL's top-rated defense with the Ravens in 2006, has been rewarded with a new, two-year contract and a salary more commensurate with the success he has enjoyed in his two years on the job. The contract, first reported by The Baltimore Sun and confirmed by team officials, includes salaries of more than $1 million per season. Ravens officials had been in discussions with Ryan about a new deal since the end of the 2006 season. There was just one season remaining on Ryan's previous contract.
