Ravens Ring of Honor
With the Senior Bowl done I figured it was time to try another one of these.
1: Browns - Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming
2: Giants - Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA
3: Colts - Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama
4: Browns - Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn St.
5: Broncos - Sam Darnold, QB, USC
6: Jets - Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma St.
7: Bucs - Bradley Chubb, DE, NC St.
8: Bears - Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama
9: 49ers - Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame
10: Raiders - Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech
11: Dolphins - Mike McGlinchey, OT, Notre Dame
12: Bengals - Mark Andrews, TE, Oklahoma
13: Redskins - Derwin James, S, Florida St
14: Packers - Da'Ron Payne, DT, Alabama
15: Cardinals - Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville
16: Connor Williams, OT, Texas
Thanks to the huge need at QB for many teams, a guy that's arguably a top ten talent slides to the Ravens. Williams' athletic ability combined with the Ravens being really good lately at coaching up lineman is just a perfect match. He could step in and immediately become one of the top pass blocking RTs in the league, and have far more upside as a run blocker than what we had last season. If both of them play up to their potential, the Ravens could possibly have the best tackle combo in the NFL. Or at least be in the top five. The play for Flacco, Collins, and Dixon instantly improves by bringing in Williams.
Round 2: Auden Tate, WR, Florida St.
I fully believe that Tate is simply the perfect match for Flacco as a perimeter WR. Great body control, very big strong hands, and he knows how to use his size to really go after jump balls. He'll also occasionally make great receptions out of passes that shouldn't have been caught. More than that, he'll bring that fiery attitude we've been missing from our WRs since SSS left.
The only downside I have on Tate is that his top end speed isn't that great. Don't get me wrong, he's certainly not slow. He's just not going to blow minds at the combine like some other guys in the draft might.
Round 3: B.J. Hill, DT, NC State
Hill was a monster in the senior bowl practices. For a guy with his size and his strength, he's incredibly quick off the line. Plus he plays low and has great hand movements. He can be an instant starter for us at 3-4 DE, with the ability to play in passing and running situations. Also, on obvious passing downs, he can kick inside to be a penetrating NT. I'd love to see a third and long with it being Henry - Hill - Wormley on the line with Williams or Suggs rushing off the edge.
Round 3 (comp): Ian Thomas, TE, Indiana
Flacco loves having a security blanket player, and Ian Thomas can definitely become that. He's built like a tank, and yet still has good short area quickness, surprising high end speed, and very soft hands. He has the potential to be a more athletic and stronger version of Pitta.
Round 4: Steve Ishmael, WR, Syracuse
Speaking of security blankets, here's Steve Ishmael. He's basically like a poor man's Alshon Jeffery. Not great top end speed, solid short area quickness, but his main strengths are his strong hands and how aggressive he is when going after the ball. As a WR2 or 3, he'll become the Mr. Reliable of the offense, constantly converting third downs.
Round 5: D'Montre Wade, CB, Murray State
A well built, rangy CB that seems to have a nose for the ball. Coming from Murray State, he obviously didn't have the best competition while he was hauling in six ints in a season. That said, he at least dominate at his level. His first real taste of top competition in the senior bowl as a mixed bag, but he showed potential. With some good coaching or learning from a veteran, he could become a solid backup to Jimmy and Humphrey.
Also he brings in good special teams play, and can become our primary punt returner.
Round 6: Frank Ginda, ILB, San Jose State
Had incredible stats for his level of competition, and seems to have really good instincts. He can start off as a good special teams player with some potential to become another in a long list of late round LBs that turned out pretty good for the Ravens.
Round 7: Nick Wilson, RB, Arizona
A solid RB who has been battling injury issues. Could turn out to be much better than his late round grade.
