It’s time to start studying college quarterbacks:

Luckily, in the coming years there are a number of talented field generals coming up through the college ranks. The Ravens need to start taking one every year. Passers such as Mason Rudolph, Jacob Eason, Mike White, Jarrett Stidham, Deondre Francois, Luke Falk, Jake Browning and Clayton Thorson are all going to be available at different rounds in the draft in the coming years.
