Wiggins could be a late-round steal for the Baltimore Ravens. He did have some injury struggles, but at one point he was considered to be one of the best safeties. Wiggins has recovered well from his injury and could add a player with playmaking ability to the defense with this pick.

If Wiggins does fall to the fifth round because of his injury history, the Ravens could definitely benefit from drafting him.

If the Ravens don’t trade Orlando Brown Jr., he will most likely leave next offseason to play as a left tackle somewhere else. The Ravens aren’t going to start Brown at left tackle over Ronnie Stanley, or pay two players LT money.

With that being said, Brenden Jaimes would be a great depth pick at tackle. He has versatility on the line with starts at both tackle and guard. Jaimes is quick into his blocks, good with his hands, and has excellent recognition.

Pick Analysis. TE. 209. 861. Scouting Report. BYU. MattBushman. player

Matt Bushman is my sleeper pick. I am not positive that he will fall to the sixth round (#209 overall), but it is quite possible. The Ravens went 14-2 in 2019 with two solid receiving tight ends. They would definitely benefit from adding another that could take snaps immediately.

Now, Josh Oliver could potentially be that. Or even Jacob Breeland. It wouldn’t hurt to add Matt Bushman with a sixth-round pick if he is still there. He does need to work on his blocking, but the Ravens have their blocking taken care of at tight end with Nick Boyle and Eric Tomilson. He had a season-ending injury in 2020 but never had a season below 500 receiving yards. In 2019, he finished with 47 receptions for 688-yards and 4 touchdowns.
