Tyus Bowser was the Ravens second round pick. They took him with the 47th pick and it was a tremendous pick. Bowser is poised to become a great linebacker. Tim Williams was drafted with the 78th overall pick. Williams is an Alabama Crimson Tide product, with length and explosive ability. The upside for these two players is off the charts, but who has the most upside? That is debatable.
When the Ravens came into this draft, pass rush was one area they had to address. The team only totaled 31 sacks in the 2016 season, a far cry from their 49 sacks in the 2014 season. Not coincidentally, the 2014 season was the last time the purple and black made the postseason. Elvis Dumervil is no longer in the picture. Terrell Suggs is likely going into his last season. The Ravens have gotten younger and deeper at the outside linebacker position. This is good news.
Bowser and Williams could easily become the future leaders of the defense. While both players can get after the quarterback, they’re completely different prospects. It’s debatable which of the two flashiest new Ravens is going to be best. Let’s hash that debate out, right now.
