The Baltimore Ravens were busy in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Here is a look at the three picks the Ravens made to start their active day three of the NFL Draft:
Anthony Averett CB (Alabama):
Well Ozzie Newsome filled his Alabama quota. This is a tenacious cornerback who is going to be a great addition to the Ravens cornerback group. The Ravens have a lot at cornerback. Jimmy Smith and Marlon Humphrey are great. Tavon Young, Brandon Carr and Maurice Cannady can get the job done. The thing is that you can never have enough at the cornerback position. This is a good player that the Ravens don’t really need. The Ravens secondary is now really deep and that could come in handy. Averett is a solid pick and a good value pick.
Kenny Young LB (UCLA):
This is a great athlete. If Young wins the job next to C.J. Mosley it will be an incredible athletic combination. I want to see Young be more of a thumper and I’d like to see him be more aggressive. Young is a good player. The Ravens last need was inside linebacker so this really does make a lot of sense. Young had over 100 tackles in the 2017 season. This could go either way but it’s hard not to love the upside with his athletic ability.
Jaleel Scott WR (New Mexico State):
This is a great pick. The Ravens fanbase waited anxiously for a receiver and they got one. Scott is a big bodied wide receiver who has a catch radius that almost makes it unfair. He had 76 receptions for 1,079 yards and nine touchdowns in 2017. He has the physical traits you want to see, he has the production, now we just have to see him do it on the big stage.
