My Team Needs: LB, EDGE, WR, IOL, S, IDL, RB

Third Round (93rd overall): Netane Muti, IOL, Fresno State

Class: RS Junior

Height: 6’3″

Weight: 310 lbs

Again, there wasn’t an edge rusher available when I was on the clock. Muti was rated the 71st best player (best player on the board) while the closest edge rusher was 30 spots down. This year is not a good year for edge rushers depth-wise, so if the Ravens don’t snag one really early on in the 2020 NFL Draft it’ll be hard for them to find a quality one later on.

I wasn’t very familiar with Muti before going through the available players but man does he sound like a nice fit for this offense. Muti primarily plays on the interior of the offensive line which could need some help if Marshal Yanda decides to hang em up this offseason. Muti is almost crafted for this offense because his biggest strength is his movement ability. He’s one of the best pulling guards in college football and has a knack for attacking the second-level defenders. Muti would be a nice gift to offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

Fourth Round (125th overall): Najee Harris, RB, Alabama

Class: Junior

Height: 6’2″

Weight: 227

The Ravens take another offensive player in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft because why not? Najee Harris was the second highest-graded player on the board and would present a potential replacement for Gus Edwards if the Ravens don’t resign him. Harris is a massive running back with surprisingly nimble feet. He’s patient while running with the ball and allows his blockers to set blocks before he bursts up the field which would be a nice fit for this Greg Roman scheme.

Must Read. This may be the most exciting Baltimore Ravens team ever. light

Harris hasn’t received many opportunities in the passing game but not a lot of college backs do. I would expect the Ravens to work with him on his receiving ability so opposing defenses have to account for something other than him running it. Harris would also provide a nice blocker for quarterback Lamar Jackson is pass blocking situations because he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty. With Harris, the Ravens backfield would consist of one-speed threat (Justice Hill), one tank (Najee Harris), and one who’s a mix of both (Mark Ingram). I’m sure Jackson wouldn’t need much convincing to be on board with that backfield.

Fourth Round (127th overall): Marlon Davidson, Edge, Auburn

Class: Senior

Height: 6’3″

Weight: 278 lbs

The Ravens finally snag their edge rusher in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft and the crowd goes wild. Not really, I’m sure most of you wanted an edge rusher a round or three before this but you take what the draft gives you so here we are. Davidson is a big and physical defensive end who is rock solid from head to toe but lacks hip mobility.

I expect him to move inside when he makes it to the NFL because he’s just not fluid or mobile enough to rush the passer from the outside. He’s played multiple positions along the defensive line at Auburn but has been severely overshadowed by future first-rounder and teammate Derrick Brown. With the right coaching, which he’d get in Baltimore, Davidson would be a solid (pun intended) addition to this Ravens defense.
