The Verdict:

As much as it pains me to say it, the smartest choice for the Ravens would be to go with Garrett Bradbury. It’s not the flashiest pick of the two, but it’s the right one. With the type of system Greg Roman wants to run, Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews are already receivers and could potentially be the best tight end duo in the league. Add in Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards, and potentially a rookie behind a formidable offensive line and they will have a bigger impact on Lamar Jackson than a rookie receiver will in a run heavy offense.

The Ravens can still strike gold on a receiver in the third round as this class is incredibly deep at the position, but I already know N’Keal Harry will be there when the Ravens pick and we will have to sit there as they write someone else’s name on the card.
