The Baltimore Ravens could look to the NFL Draft to find their next great pass rusher:

The Baltimore Ravens need to look at the pass rushers in the NFL Draft. There is no way the Ravens can feel comfortable at that position. Za’Darius Smith went backwards last season, in my opinion. He had every chance to show the Ravens what he had, but he struggled to set the edge in run defense. Elvis Dumervil is gone. Terrell Suggs is in his 30’s and he’s dealt with injuries the past two seasons.

It’s hard not to love Matt Judon’s potential but as of now, its just potential. When the Ravens go into the 2017 season, the outside linebacker position will be a huge question mark, if the Ravens don’t fix it in the draft. If Suggs gets sidelined with injury, the Ravens outside linebacker position will be thinner than a slice of lunch meat.

There is an obvious need here. The Ravens can very much justify taking a pass rusher in the first round. Here is a look at five players I have studied a good bit. These five players are all options for the Ravens.
