NFL Draft:There could be a run on quarterbacks on Thursday night. This could be good for the Baltimore Ravens

The NFL Draft is almost here. The Baltimore Ravens want all the talent they can get to fall to the 16th pick. One factor that could help the purple and black is the volume of quarterbacks that could go in the first round. The Cleveland Browns, San Fransisco 49ers, Chicago Bears and New York Jets all could be in the market for a quarterback.

DeShaun Watson, Mitch Trubisky, DeShone Kizer and Patrick Mahomes are all options for these potential suitors.The more quarterbacks get selected in the first round, the better the Ravens options will be.

The Ravens aren’t in the market for a quarterback, at least not early in the draft. The Ravens are eyeing wide receivers, linebackers, offensive linemen and cornerbacks.

If the Browns took Watson, I have to admit, I’d be a little nervous. Watson is the one quarterback that I think can come in and make a difference. That being said the Browns have a tendency to screw everything up. If they take a prospect like Trubisky or Kizer, I think it will fail on a huge level.

The Waiting Is The Hardest Part:

Right now, the most frustrating thing is the waiting. We have no real idea what the Ravens are going to do. They could be fully committed to getting a receiver. It’s possible that they have an edge rusher. It also wouldn’t surprise me if they traded down from the 16th pick. We have nothing solid to lean on, and we can’t believe anything coming from the castle; it could all be smokescreens.

Next: The Baltimore Ravens Are Money Later In The Draft

One thing is sure though. The Ravens are not looking for a quarterback on Thursday night. Therefore they have to hope that the quarterbacks get gobbled up like turkey on Thanksgiving. The later Myles Garrett gets taken, the later everybody else gets taken. The Ravens could find a top 10 talent sitting there with the 16th pick. They could find more then one top talent sitting there.
