4. Any Quarterbacks

Joe Flacco turned 33 in January, so he is on the back nine of his career. However, it is possible that Baltimore gets three or four more quality years out of him. Steve Biscotti said in his annual press conference that the team has “bigger fish to fry” than finding a future replacement for Flacco. Unless they absolutely love a certain quarterback in this year’s draft, then selecting one isn’t ideal. Joe Flacco’s contract won’t allow the team to move on for at least two more years, so you live and you die with him for now.

5. Courtland Sutton

Sutton is good, but not anything special. I know a few people that disagree with me, but I don’t see it. Calvin Ridley is the clear-cut top receiver in this class, and he is in another tier. Sutton has good size, decent hands, decent route running ability, and good body control. However, he doesn’t have anything that jumps off of the board. I think Sutton will be a pretty good receiver in this league, but there isn’t much difference in him and other wide receivers in his range. If Calvin Ridley isn’t there at 16, the Ravens don’t need to reach for a need and grab Sutton.
