The outlier<\/p>\n
The Ravens haven\u2019t had a dominant pass rusher since Matthew Judon, and it\u2019s hardly a secret that they\u2019ll address this position at some point of the draft with one of the 11 picks they actually hold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Could one be considered in the opening round? For Todd McShay, the answer is yes, as he\u2019s mocked Rueben Bain Jr. to Baltimore in the first despite all the noise regarding arm length.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a matter of fact, Reuter has Derrick Moore and Brugler has R Mason Thomas going to the Ravens in the second to help put some pressure on opposing passers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What are the draft analysts missing?<\/p>\n
At this point, it\u2019s interesting to see how little first-round attention the wideout group is getting from analysts in regards to the Ravens. The current class may not be loaded at the top, but there are interesting names in the bottom of the first-to-second-round range that should be considered, even higher than a tight end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zay Flowers works primarily from the inside out, and it\u2019s hard to believe DeAndre Hopkins will be back on the outside, where Rashod Bateman has been disappointing over the years. <\/p>\n
Is Devontez Walker ready to take the next step on the outside? We don\u2019t know yet, but it\u2019s hard to place much confidence in a guy who has seven receptions in 21 games over two years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And while Sadiq does make sense<\/a> — or even Kiper’s projected second-roudenr for Baltimore, Eli Stowers — they’re still players who would frequently work from the inside out. <\/p>\n
