The Ravens 2015 Draft Results:

  • Round 1: Breshad Perriman, WR (UCF) 26th Overall Pick
  • Round 2: Maxx Williams, TE (Minnesota) 55th Overall Pick
  • Round 3: Carl Davis, DT (Iowa) 90th Overall Pick
  • Round 4: Za’Darius Smith, OLB (Kentucky) 122nd Overall Pick
  • Round 4: Javorius Allen, RB (USC) 125th Overall Pick
  • Round 4: Tray Walker, CB (Texas Southern) 136th Overall Pick
  • Round 5: Nick Boyle, TE (Delaware) 171st Overall Pick
  • Round 5: Robert Myers, OL (Tenn St,) 176th Overall Pick
  • Round 7: Darren Waller, WR (GT) 204th Overall Pick

Before I talk about this draft class, take a moment to remember Tray Walker, who was taken from us in a tragic accident. We’ll never know what he could have been as a professional football player and more importantly a person.

It’s too early to tell, but this is leaning towards being a lackluster draft. Breshad Perriman was a risky pick, even if he had no injury concerns. After a knee injury sidelined him for the 2015 season, he still hasn’t proven that he was worth a number one draft pick. I thought Carl Davis was a steal. He has a chance to be a good player. Za’Darius Smith has shown flashes but still has a lot of developing to do as an outside linebacker. Javorius Allen stepped up last year when Justin Forsett was injured. However he has barely got into the mix this season.
