The NFL Draft is very important for the Baltimore Ravens. Here is a look at 5 boom or bust players on the draft board:

The NFL Draft is so close that we can taste it. The magic is in the air. With the NFL Draft comes hope and playoff aspirations. Thursday starts an event that shapes Super Bowl teams. The NFL has a ton of talent. Adding great talent in the draft, is a yearly task. However nothing takes more work for NFL executives. The Ravens’ brass must feel completely comfortable with their pick on Thursday night. They need to know a sure thing when they see one. They need to see a risk coming from a mile away, and they have to measure these risks carefully.

There are always prospects that things can go either way with. There are always players that are worth the risk. The problem is some players seem worth the risk, only to set the franchise back. Wasting a first round pick is a huge problem.

Today we’re going to look at the top five players that are boom or bust players. We begin with the fastest receiver in the NFL Draft, John Ross.
