How forgettable is Christian Thompson? It was hard to find a picture of the guy, we’ll just put it that way. Thompson appeared in a total of seven games for the Ravens and never recorded even so much as a tackle before a substance abuse suspension put an early fork in his career.

Grade: F

Asa Jackson: Round 5, 169th Overall

Grade: C
