Baltimore Ravens 2021 NFL Mock Draft (post-Orlando Brown Jr. trade)
Pick 47: Creed Humphrey, IOL, Oklahoma:
The talk of possibly moving Bradley Bozeman to center has seemingly led the mock drafters of the world away from the once-popular Humphrey-to-Baltimore connection, but stability on a unit in flux this offseason is a valuable thing. Humphrey is an absolute mauler that will fit in comfortably in a run-heavy Ravens offense and will allow Bozeman to stay at left guard, where he is one of the best pulling guards in the league.
Pick 58: Jevon Holland, S, Oregon:
Playing on the West Coast kept Holland from being considered amongst the true stars of college football, but his game is reminiscent of Tyrann Mathieu during his days at LSU. Holland is an electric playmaker, elite in coverage, and knows what to do with the football in his hands. Adding a player of Holland’s caliber will allow the Ravens to run more three-safety looks in 2021, which will be critically important as they take on elite passing teams like the Chiefs, Packers, and Chargers. Like Mathieu, Holland is also a dynamic returner on special teams and would provide an instant upgrade over the James Proche/Devin Duvernay tandem the Ravens looked to last season.
Pick 70: Amari Rodgers, WR, Clemson:
The Rodgers/Ravens connection has been a common one since the team hired Tee Martin, his father, as their wide receivers coach back in February. Rodgers won’t be selected by Baltimore off nepotism alone, but should absolutely be considered based on talent as the organization looks to put more pieces around Lamar Jackson. The Clemson product is a versatile receiver that is a threat at all three levels, and his ability to turn screens and slants into big gains will make Jackson’s life much easier throwing the football. Like Holland, Rodgers is also a high-caliber kick and punt returner, which will give Baltimore two legitimate options as they look to get more production from the return game next season.
