Could the Ravens Draft a First Round Edge Rusher?

Brown: If the Ravens draft a wide receiver or running back on Day 3, it won’t surprise me.

I’m guessing it could happen in Round 6, where the Ravens have four picks. They don’t have a need at either position, but if a receiver or running back is the best player on their board at that point, why not take him?

Projected late-round wide receivers who may intrigue Baltimore include Pat Bryant (Illinois), Nick Nash (San Jose State) Isaac TeSlaa (Arkansas), and Dont’e Thornton Jr. (Tennessee). All are big-bodied targets and Thornton is a Baltimore product who attended Mount Saint Joseph.

This is a particularly deep running back class, and the Ravens may take a dive despite being deep at the position. LeQuint Allen (Syracuse), Jaydon Blue (Texas), Jarquez Hunter (Auburn), Jacory Croskey-Merritt (Arizona), Woody Marks (USC), and Brashard Smith (SMU) are among those who could fall to Round 6.

Seeing Baltimore take a receiver or back on Day 1 or 2 would be unexpected. But on Day 3, any position is on the table.
