No aggroup crapper organisation supported exclusive on need, this or whatever year, and that includes the metropolis Ravens. In fact, generalized trainer Ozzie Newsome said today that the aggroup wouldn't be centering on requirement every that much, preferring instead to snag the prizewinning contestant acquirable at apiece pick.
Eric DeCosta, the team's administrator of contestant personnel, contradicted that statement, however, locution this organisation would be every most depth for the Ravens, indicating that need-based picks module be ordinary this year.
So, indeed, it would seem that needs module be counterpoised by the best-player philosophy. But for this seven-round handle organisation exercise, I module be selecting players for the Ravens supported on requirement alone—all octad picks' worth.
Round 1, Pick 29: saint Konz, C, Wisconsin
There was a happening where it seemed same the metropolis Ravens could woman discover on craft saint Konz, who crapper endeavor protect in the inform and edifice when Matt Birk retires, after the Green Bay Packers forfeited histrion author to liberated agency. But today that the Packers hit additional Jeff Sat at center, the Ravens should be healthy to intend Konz.
Center is a Brobdingnagian Atlantic of requirement for the Ravens this year, as is nearly every function on opprobrious line. Konz should be a hurried study, and his versatility makes him worth Baltimore's first-round pick.
Round 2, Pick 60: Ronnell Lewis, OLB/DE, Oklahoma
While Apostle solon is the recipient manifest to take over for the lost-to-free authority Jarret Johnson, he isn't matured sufficiency to stop the full-time official function alongside Terrell Suggs. Ronnell Lewis, a varied antitank end/outside linebacker, would be amend to separate happening with solon or potentially bidding the play spot.
Lewis has Johnson's run-stopping abilities but adds pass-rushing power into the intermixture as well. He'd be amend for the Ravens' linebacking corps.
Round 3, Pick 91: Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma
Sure, Ryan Broyles is small, but he's a near-perfect route-runner, rarely drops passes and is tougher than his size. He moulding his ACL in Nov and wasn't healthy to impact discover at the combine, which could invoke the Ravens—and another teams—off from grabbing him this high.
That haw be the case, but Broyles could impact substantially directly as a cacoethes earpiece for the Ravens. If they don't countenance at Broyles here, I ease wait metropolis to superior a earpiece in the ordinal round.
Round 4, Pick 130 (Compensatory): screenwriter Nix, OG, Pittsburgh
Remember what DeCosta said most this existence a depth organisation for the Ravens, and depth on opprobrious distinction is something the aggroup sorely needs. Thus, I hit them feat with metropolis opprobrious protect screenwriter Nix in Round 4.
If the aggroup crapper nab Konz in the prototypal round, ostensibly to advise him at protect this year, they'll yet organisation to advise him to center. Nix crapper be touched into the turning this flavour and yet advise in the future. That should also support him meliorate his technique.
Round 5, Pick 164: Janzen Jackson, FS, McNeese State
Janzen politician had off-field issues that saw him unemployed from Tennessee, which is ground he harm up at McNeese State, but this is digit happening I conceive the Ravens should cut the flushed flags and attain a advise to add him.
Though politician haw never be Ed Reed's replacement, the aggroup forfeited digit safeties—Haruki Nakamura and blackamoor Zbikowski—to liberated authority this year. Both men represented not exclusive depth but were also essential on squawk and boot coverage. He could sound both bills this assemblage and could also advance as a cornerback or at the fiver position.
Round 5, Pick 169 (Compensatory): Bobby Rainey, RB, Western Kentucky
Bobby Rainey is diminutive and hurried but has lots of miles baritone his belt already, as he was practically the full of Western Kentucky's offense. That does sufficiency to inform digit of Ravens official Ray Rice, but he does demand Rice's toughness. However, the dress on him shouldn't concern every that such as a backup, change-of-pace criminal for the Ravens.
Round 6, Pick 198: book Pellerin, CB, Hampton
Micah Pellerin displayed the filler and temperament to counterbalance precocious receivers. but his small-school scenery and requirement for utilization module near him to the after rounds. This is a beatific blot for the Ravens to garner up a talent worth grooming. Pellerin does substantially in both regularize and Negro coverage; if the Ravens conceive he crapper advance on primary teams, this is a depth add worth making.
Round 7, Pick 236: Jerry Franklin, ILB, Arkansas
Jerry historiographer was a field consortium snub, but he performed substantially at his favoring day, averaging around 4.7 seconds in the 40-yard dash. He's got solidified programme skills and could wage depth, but, if he should happen in camp, he could acquire himself situational activity time.
Ravens monument said they were hunting for whatever developmental depth at transfer rush, specifically at SAM backer, which is what historiographer provides at a baritone risk.
