Ravens Draft: Everything Is In Play At Pick 16
The biggest problem predicting the Ravens draft is nothing would really be shocking tonight. If the Ravens select Corey Davis or Mike Williams, that makes sense. If they draft Rueben Foster or Haason Reddick it would be prototypical Ravens stuff.
Forrest Lamp is another option, you could make an argument for Ryan Ramzcyk as well. The Ravens are notoriously tight lipped, so nothing we hear can really get us too excited.
The Baltimore Ravens have a ton of things they need to get in this draft. It seems like this draft is different. The NFL Draft has always been a methodical science for Ozzie Newsome. He takes the best player available with stubborn consistency.

It has been a process that has worked for the Ravens more often than not; however this is the perfect draft to change strategy and go against norms.
Trading back is an option as well. It wouldn’t shock Ravens fans if Newsome agreed to a deal to move a few spots down, they’ve seen that song and dance before.
Last year there were only a few legitimate options. The team had the sixth overall pick. In the end the Ravens had two options. When they couldn’t trade up to get Jalen Ramsey, Ronnie Stanley was a predictable and safe pick.
