2. Orlando Brown Jr.

Orlando Brown was a very popular pick for the Ravens before the combine. His father played many years for the organization, and he fills a need on the offensive line. However, Brown Jr. had possibly the worst combine of all time. He ran a historically low 40-yard dash, and only put up 14 reps on the bench press. Brown Jr.’s draft grade dropped significantly, and he might even be available for the Ravens to take in the second round. Baltimore should steer clear of a possible bust here.

3. D.J. Moore

Many Ravens fans are in love with the Maryland alumni, D.J. Moore. They’ve watched him grow and develop in college, and they believe he can make an impact on their other favorite team. There’s no doubt Moore has tons of tools and he showed that with an impressive combine. That combine left many fans wanting Moore at 16th overall. However, I don’t think Moore is a game-changing talent. He’s certainly an option if the Ravens decide to trade down in the first round, but not if they stand pat. It may not be what Baltimore fans want to hear, but he just isn’t that game-breaker that a first-rounder needs to be.
