Final Ravens Mock Draft: Montez Sweat is Eric DeCosta’s first pick
Happy NFL Draft Day! It’s one of our favorite times of the year and Ebony Bird has one more Baltimore Ravens mock draft for you.
Using the NFL Draft Network’s Mock Draft machine, I simulated one more mock draft for the Baltimore Ravens. I have included my analysis for each pick. If the draft goes this way, Baltimore should be happy. This mock draft gives the Ravens a star pass rusher, a double dip of receivers and an underrated offensive lineman. Without further ado, I give you my last mock draft.
22. player. 26. For a long time in the NFL Draft process Montez Sweat seemed like an unattainable player for the Baltimore Ravens. It boils down to the Ravens being comfortable with the medical situation. If they think Sweat is good to go, they won’t hesitate with him on the board. Sweat is an explosive pass rusher who could be a superstar in the NFL. Sweat had 10.5 sacks in 2017 and 12 in 2018. The Mississippi State edge rusher flies off the edge and he will be something the AFC North has to deal with for a long time. In this mock draft, Garrett Bradbury and Cody Ford were off the board so offensive line wasn’t the route to go. Wide receiver felt like less of a need than a game changing defensive talent. That’s why Sweat got the call here.<p class=. OLB. Miss St.. Montez Sweat
Riley Ridley is one of the most precise route runners in this draft class. On top of that, he is a very dependable play-maker. This makes him the exact opposite of Breshad Perriman, which should make Ravens fans pleased. This is a good value for Ridley. He’s doesn’t have first round traits and there are plenty of receivers with more production to go off of. The Ravens get a player with a high ceiling here.. WR. Georgia. Riley Ridley. 85. player. 26
26. Two receivers in the same round may not be conventional, and those two receivers being from the same team is almost unheard of. The thing is that it makes a ton of sense. Mecole Hardman may not be exactly what the Ravens need in the framework of the offense, but he’s just a great player. The Ravens need play-makers and that’s what Hardman is. He averaged 16 yards per reception in his two years with the Bulldogs. Deep threats are always a welcome addition to the offense especially when they churn out a lot of yards after the catch.. WR. Georgia. Mecole Hardman. 102. player
Bobby Evans. 113. player. 26. At this point in the draft I was put in a tough spot as a decision maker. The board wasn’t falling in an offensive line friendly way and waiting on it didn’t seem wise. Bobby Brown is a player that the Ravens can draft as a tackle and they can put him at guard. He’s got a ridiculously good build and is hard to get past. He is one of the most underrated offensive linemen in this draft class. Oklahoma had an incredible offensive line. While Cody Ford gets all the love from the draft guys, Brown is worthy of praise as well.. OT. OU

Devin Singletary. 123. player. 26. This is a fun pick more than it is a selection to take care of a need. The player comparison that makes the most sense for Devin Singletary is Ladanian Tomlinson. Singletary is a smaller running back who has as much elusiveness as a Walmart has shopping carts. He’s slippery and he can make something out of nothing, it’s almost Barry Sanders like. Singletary has the best vision of any of the running backs and he weaves his way to a lot of big plays. Linebackers will do a lot of reaching and missing trying to track him down in the open field. When Singletary has the ball, it’s just fun. The Ravens could get a special player at a crazy good value. They don’t have to make this pick but they will be glad that they did.. RB. FAU
LB. UMD. Tre Watson. 160. player. 26. Tre Watson is a downhill linebacker with the athletic ability that should appeal to the Ravens. At his best possible peak he’s a Zach Orr like player. He’s raw and he has to be coached up, but he’s a good player and a solid value in the fifth round. In 2018 he had 108 total tackles, a sack and five interceptions. He fits the type that the Ravens have at this position.

player. 26. DeMarcus Christmas is a penetrating defensive tackle who can live in the backfield. He’s a very good athlete and he has a bull rush and a rip move that is hard to deal with. The Ravens are always good at finding good defensive linemen later on in the draft process. Michael Pierce was an undrafted free agent. Christmas is a high ceiling player at an incredible value.. DT. FSU. DeMarcus Christmas. 191

USC. Cameron Smith. 193. player. 26. Cameron Smith is a solid tackler and a decent athlete who could develop into a decent linebacker. He’s decent in pass coverage and had four interceptions in his Trojans career. Smith has a sturdy 6’2″ build. He ran a <a href=. LB
