Wisconsin pass rusher T.J. Watt would be a bit of a wildcard pick, but it would be a great move for the Ravens. A cornerback could still be a option here, but depth could allow the Ravens to wait later to draft one. This is the time to address the pass rusher. He is graded as more of a second round prospect behind Reuben Foster and Zach Cunningham so the Ravens could get a steal if he falls.

T.J. Watt has the size and strength to be a fantastic. In his final season with the Badgers, Watt piled up 63 tackles and 11.5 sacks. He finished the season as a First Team All-Big Ten selection last season and a Second Team All-American. Coming from the Watt family, you have to think that he has a solid work ethic. His draft profile on NFL.com compares him to former Ravens Paul Kruger. The one knock I would have against him is his inexperience. He really only played one full season as a starter at Wisconsin so he could need some time to develop. But even with those concerns, his 6’5″ and 243 pound frame would be a great addition.
