A little more ready:

7. Geno Stone, S (Iowa)

More from Ravens Draft

Stone is a player that the Ravens will probably build up for the future. The Ravens have a tendency to do this with players in the back-end of the defense. Chuck Clark is a perfect example of this. For the time being, Stone will make a big impact on special teams. Stone is a high effort player, with a high football IQ and he tackles well.

He sounds like a perfect player to build up on special teams and that’s a good way to have an instant impact as a seventh round pick. Stone could eventually see some time as an extra defensive back. He’s got ball skills and an interception in a big moment would be the perfect way to prove himself.

6. Ben Bredeson, OL (Michigan)

The biggest threat to Ben Powers getting a starting job is Bredeson. Bredeson fits the mold of a Ravens offensive lineman absolutely perfectly. Bredeson is a player with a high floor, because there isn’t much to dislike about his game and he looks the part. Powers will get pushed by Bredeson.

Ultimately, Powers should win the job out. Of the three young linemen competing for the starting right guard spot, Powers had my highest draft grade. Bredeson could be ready to start as a rookie, but he probably won’t. He and Phillips will provide quality depth to the offensive line. Depth isn’t exciting yet it is very important.

5. Justin Madubuike, DL (Texas A&M)

Madubuike should get plenty of playing time as a rookie. He’s an explosive player who can line up just about anywhere on the defensive line. His athleticism is going to come in handy during the 2020 season. The Ravens should get solid play out of him. They may even get a few sacks from Madubuike. The Ravens need to coach him up but he has traits that should get him on the field as a rookie.
