We already know what we’re getting from Mosely. The Crimson Tide linebacker is entering his third season with the Ravens. In two seasons, he has totaled 250 total tackles and seven sacks. Mosley has been a starter from day one and has proven to be one of the most athletic defenders in the league.

Correa has a chance to be a great player living inside. He’s an instinctual player, who knows how to avoid and fight off blocks. He probably fits more as a middle linebacker than he really did on the edge. While he does not lack explosive ability his pass rushing prowess was more about his motor than any thing else.
