8. Dre Kirkpatrick

The fans would be pleased with this signing. Kirkpatrick is a very solid cornerback from a division rival. With the Bengals he has had three seasons with three interceptions. Kirkpatrick would come in and be the Ravens second best cornerback. This would allow Tavon Young to be the slot corner, where he can really excel.

Kirkpatrick has everything you look for in a cornerback. He is 6’2″ with length and the requisite recovery speed. He is tough and physical and he isn’t afraid to be aggressive. Kirkpatrick is a good player that the Ravens are all too familiar with.

This would be a move that would give Ravens fans some comfort. The secondary has been a concern for the Ravens ever since Ed Reed went away. The Ravens secondary was improved last season, this move would take the secondary to the next level.
