A -. . . Baltimore Ravens. 2019 NFL DRAFT

The Ravens nailed this draft. They got weapons for a new era of offense in Baltimore. They got a pass rusher with a very high ceiling and they potentially found a starter for their offensive line. The Ravens came into the draft knowing what they wanted to do and they did it. Marquise Brown may not be the best receiver in the 2019 NFL Draft class but he’s got the potential to be one of the best play-makers in the league. Passing on N’Keal Harry could not have been easy, but the Ravens wanted a speed demon and they got just that. Brown and Miles Boykin should be a nice pairing. Boykin has big play potential because he’s got wide receiver speed and tight end size.

Jaylon Ferguson is a third round pick that is going to be asked to contribute right away. Ferguson could be the missing piece of the defense. If he has a big rookie year the Ravens having a top five defense is likely.

Justice Hill and Ben Powers in the fourth round is an unbelievable get for Eric DeCosta. Hill has a potential to be a dangerous play-maker with his speed. Powers is a solid offensive lineman who was quietly dominant on a great Oklahoma offensive line. Cody Ford and Bobby Evans were drafted before Powers, but Powers has the same kind of potential. The Ravens took care of needs, got better on offense and added depth to the defensive front (Daylon Mack) and the secondary (Iman Marshall).
