It’s the final day of the 2015 NFL Draft, when teams make their late round selections. While the first three rounds are filled with big name prospects, that certainly doesn’t mean that there aren’t a lot of great players left for the picking. This is when great general managers make their mark on the future of their teams. It separates the great talent evaluators from the not so great ones.
The Baltimore Ravens have filled three positions of need already: wide receiver, tight end, and defensive line in the first three rounds of the draft. They still have needs at running back, cornerback, guard, and outside linebacker. I won’t be at all surprised if they take one of each in the last four rounds of the Draft with their remaining six picks.
Having said that, here are some still available players that the Ravens should have on their radar for the final day of the 2015 NFL Draft.
Boise State RB Jay Ajayi

It’s a mild surprise that Ajayi is still available, as he is probably the third best back in the draft talent wise. A true three down, workhorse type guy, Ajayi has slipped due to medical concerns. But let’s be honest – the Ravens aren’t necessarily looking for a guy who has to come in and take over full time duties right now. With Justin Forsett under contract, they can afford to bring Ajayi along slowly.
Another possibility at running is Minnesota’s David Cobb.
