2019 NFL Draft: 5 players that make sense for Baltimore Ravens

It’s NFL Draft season and the speculation for the Baltimore Ravens first round pick may now begin. Here are 5 players that make the most pick at the 22nd overall selection:

1. Kelvin Harmon, WR (NC STATE)

The Baltimore Ravens must get a wide receiver or two in the 2019 NFL Draft. Kelvin Harmon is one of the most exciting wide receiver prospects in a very good draft class for wide receivers. Harmon would be a player unlike any player the Ravens ever had. He’s a young wide receiver who runs routes well and creates open space in the passing game. Lamar Jackson has a go to player at the tight end position in Mark Andrews, Harmon would be his go to wide receiver.

There’s a lot to like about Harmon’s game and the first thing that pops out are the things that can’t be coached. He’s got an ideal 6’2″ frame and is a naturally gifted athlete. Harmon has good concentration in traffic and while he doesn’t have Jerry Rice level hands, he’s pretty reliable. He certainly was a productive receiver in the Wolfpack offense. In 2017, he had 69 grabs for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns. In 2018 he had  81 receptions for 1,186 yards and seven touchdowns. While his production went up a bit in his Junior season, the numbers suggest that he gives a consistent effort,

That’s why Harmon should be the Ravens number one option and their plan A. You know what you’re going to get from Harmon. You know you have a player that can come in and run all the routes and make plays all over the field. Harmon is a dependable wide receiver. On an added bonus, he’s a willing blocker and he’s not bad at it either. You couldn’t find a receiver more tailored to the needs of the purple and black.
