Ravens Mock Draft Part 1.

Today we are going to explore the Baltimore Ravens draft options with another mock draft. The Ravens have several different directions they could go. Clearly much of the focus has been on who the Ravens will select with the sixth overall pick. There have been many proposed ideas, even trading away the pick is an option for the team. This mock draft includes no trades. To break it down into two heavy chunks of analysis, I have made this a two part mock draft.

With each pick in this mock draft I have filled a need for the Ravens. The big thing to remember is that it isn’t always just about who gets picked. It is also about the value of that draft pick where you take him. There are many mock drafts out there. I believe this mock draft to be as compelling as any of them.

My main focus in this mock draft is restoring the dominant style of Ravens defense. Most of the picks are in fact, on the defensive side of the football. Today we will take a look at the first four picks the Ravens will make. The Ravens have nine picks overall. In part two, we will look at their last five picks. Sit back and take in the mock draft goodness.
