Clausel was a 38 game starter at left tackle for the Bulldogs but didn’t even receive an invite to the combine. He has prototypical NFL tackle size but is a liability in pass blocking, which will likely mean that his future is at guard. Clausel could develop into a nice backup on the interior with some coaching.

DePriest was the heir apparent at inside linebacker following C.J. Mosley’s departure from Alabama. A highly recruited player coming out of high school, DePriest recorded 87 tackles and 3 passes defensed in 2014. He is a high effort player who lacks special athleticism and is best suited as a two down ‘backer. The odds would appear to be stacked against DePriest sticking with the Ravens at a crowded position, but he has enough talent to make a roster somewhere.
