The Facts:
With the 84th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Ravens select Temple's Pierce.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ricky Williams' retirement left a serious need for a back to spell Ray Rice and it appears Pierce will be given an opportunity to do so. ... According to his
NFL.com scouting report, the 6-foot, 218-pound Pierce is an athletic back who had a tough time staying healthy, which was a concern for some teams. He's a one-cut runner who has a good feel for working between the tackles. He is able to get a natural lean to cut up and avoid trash at the point of attack and does a good job of bracing for contact to deliver blows. Pierce won't be capable of many big-time plays due to his average speed but could be effective enough in a limited role.
