Using The Mock Draft Machine of NFLDraftNetwork.com I made this mock draft for the Baltimore Ravens:

DT. Clemson. Christian Wilkins. 22. player. 26. I have Christian Wilkins as the third best player on the entire draft so this pick is all about the best player available approach. Wilkins fell to the 22nd overall pick and the value was impossible to pass up. The Ravens defensive line isn’t a huge area of need, but it’s an area that dominant players can make a huge impact. Wilkins is a space eating run stopper but he’s also a formidable pass rusher. Putting Wilkins, Brandon Williams and Michael Pierce on the same defensive line is going to create opportunities for the Ravens linebackers to make plays. The Ravens want to win the battle at the line of scrimmage and let Patrick Onwausor and Kenny Young roam the field and make plays in the backfield. With this pick, the Ravens would have three players who call for double teams but no team can double team everybody. This pick would make the Ravens front seven unstoppable. The Ravens would help their run defense and their pass rush with this move.

player. 26. McLaurin is a receiver with some big play ability. The Ravens need all the play-makers they can get and in the 2018 season McLuarin averaged just over 20 yards per reception. This is the perfect replacement for John Brown, He has a chance to be a deep threat for the Ravens. For Lamar Jackson, McLaurin could be exactly what Torrey Smith was for Joe Flacco. He will be a player that will help Jackson develop a deep ball and a player that will keep the defense honest. The game plan against the Ravens will be to stack the box and make Jackson’s arm win the day. McLaurin could give Jackson the chance to do that.. WR. Ohio State. Terry McLaurin. 85

Notre Dame. Myles Boykin. 102. player. 26. This is a big bodied receiver with a 6’4″ frame. With the last pick the Ravens got a speedy deep threat. With this pick Baltimore gets a player who can jump up and win the 50/50 balls. This is a fair value for Boykin who would become a fan favorite in Baltimore because of his physical and scrappy style of play. The Ravens have a double dip at receiver in the third round. With these two picks the Ravens would take care of a big need with two completely different kinds of receivers.. WR
