4. Garrett Bradbury, C (NC STATE)

I do want to note that Garrett Bradbury and Eric McCoy are very comparable players and both would be acceptable first round selections at the center position. Bradbury is the player you see going in the first round in most mock drafts, so let’s hone in on the NC State center. Bradbury is a great athlete at the center position. He has great feet and he is able to get to just about any block the offensive scheme calls for. Bradbury would be a player that could really help the Ravens run game and would improve the pass protection inside the Ravens offensive line.

It’s not exactly a secret that the Ravens need offensive line help. The interior of the offensive line would look extremely bleak if Marshal Yanda wasn’t a part of it. Bradbury would give the Ravens some flexibility because he could play both the center and guard positions. Picking a center wouldn’t be the most exciting option for fans, but it would be a smart play for Eric DeCosta. It would help the team in 2019 and it would be a great move for the future as well.

Bradbury could end up being a starter for 10 years for the Ravens offensive line. He’s a first round talent and he would fill a major need. The Ravens may feel comfortable with Matt Skura and Bradley Bozeman but they really could use an upgrade there. This would be that upgrade.
