Fourth Tier: Potential guys

  • Shareef Miller (PSU)
  • Joe Jackson (Miami)
  • Austin Bryant (Clemson)
  • Jaylon Jelks (Oregon)
  • Carl Granderson (Wyoming)

Joe Jackson is a player that is worth being excited about, especially if the Ravens could land him in the fourth round. He’s got a big build and he is one of the strongest prospects at the position. Picking defensive players from Miami has worked out well for the Ravens in the past and Jackson has a high motor.

The most talented player in this tier is probably Jaylon Jelks who was productive against the run at Oregon. Jelks had 155 tackles and 15.5 sacks in his four year career with the Ducks. Shareef Miller is a player whose first step and burst off the ball really impressed me. He could be the steal of the draft on Day 3.
