Connor Brooks picks for the Baltimore Ravens:

26. This is the dream scenario for the Ravens here. Calvin Ridley is without a doubt the most NFL ready prospect in this class. He is probably the best route runner since another Alabama receiver picked in the first round, Amari Cooper. Ravens have a desperate need for offensive playmakers, especially Wide receiver. Ridley will instantly come in and start and make an impact. He isn’t another Perriman, he isn’t a project. This guy is ready to come in and catch passes in year 1. I personally don’t see Ridley being on the board at 16, so it’s possible the team would have to trade up for him. But if this worked out the way it has in this draft, Ozzie can just sit back and relax and pat himself on the back. This is an easy pick.. WR. Alabama. Calvin Ridley. 16. player
