3 dream NFL Draft prospects Ravens should trade up for in first round, but won't

1. Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo

While the cornerback class is quite deep, the lack of star power can be put into focus. No corner looks like a likely Top 10 pick, and there is some debate between Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold for the coveted role of No. 1 cornerback prospect in this class.

The NFL Draft invitee has great speed, textbook technique in man coverage, and quality ball skills that make him the best non-Power 5 defensive back prospect in the last half-decade. With quality corners more valuable than ever now, Mitchell likely won't make it out of the first 20 picks.

The Baltimore Ravens need to consider trading up for Quinyon Mitchell

As good as Marlon Humphrey can be when healthy, the Ravens need to prepare for the possibility of him ending up as a cap casualty. Brandon Stephens is passable, but Mitchell clearly has a higher ceiling due to his fantastic overall athletic ability and dominance at Toledo last year.

The Ravens could take a cornerback in the first round, as players like Alabama's Kool-Aid McKinstry and Iowa's Cooper DeJean might be able to slip down to No. 30. Mitchell exceeds both of those players, and it would take an act of football God for him to slide down to the Ravens.
