Round 3, Pick 78

C. The Ravens got a steal here but they shouldn’t have taken a fourth defensive player in a row. The Ravens draft is hard to grade because they got good players at bargains in all three rounds. You have another wash here. Tim Williams is another promising young pass rusher. He has length, and explosive ability. He had 18.5 sacks in the past two seasons and he has stepped up in big games. Williams however is too much of a good thing. The Ravens just drafted Tyus Bowser. Williams could end up being like a young and healthy version of Elvis Dumervil, a pass rush specialist that could make exciting plays. The Ravens offense won’t be exciting though and their offensive options are getting slim with just a fourth, fifth and six round pick remaining.. OLB. Alabama. TIM WILLIAMS
