The four best Ravens needs for the NFL project
With the first cycle of free agency, almost made for the Ravens as they obtain up to three possible compensatory choices, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore banner and Paul Mancano discussed the four positions that the Ravens will probably address the NFL draft.
“(Edge Rusher being n ° 1) is funny because I think the Ravens finished, what, second in the NFL in the bags last year,” said Shaffer. “But we are looking at the ravens in a way to go towards the edge of the Edge cliff at the moment because Oadee is in his walk -in year, Kyle Van Noy is in his walk -in year. We do not know what Adisa Isaac will be; David Ojabo is also in his year, and we don’t really know what he’s going to be.
“How many teams have prioritized guys who can rush in the middle? Milton Williams was probably the best paid free agent this offseason because he is an interior defensive player who can go to the quarter-tree,” said Mancano. “I think there will be a lot of guys both the edge and the category of the interior defensive lines which will be on the table for the Ravens during the overall choice n ° 27.”
“You can take an outdoor guy and make sure that Marlon Humphrey is placed in the slit and have someone to replace Brandon Stephens,” said Mancano. “You can take an interior guy, a nickel corner, and move Marlon Humphrey outside.”
“I think the skeleton key or the whole calculation is Marlon Humphrey and, to a lesser extent, Kyle Hamilton because these two guys could be in the slit and that means that you can find half an outdoor corner,” said Shaffer. “But Marlon Humphrey was also a very good outdoor corner.
“We have seen how many times the Ravens used this dime package last year. Having a third security to go with Ar’darius Washington, which, in our view, will be back, and Kyle Hamilton, is huge,” said Mancano.
“I think that probably the dream scenario may be that the teams are frightened by a Jahdae Barron, the length of the Texas star,” said Shaffer. “He is very fast, very productive, very good, but I think he has T-Rex weapons for the post. I don’t think he will fall anywhere almost 27, but if he does it, then he becomes the guy you could fall as a depth security, ask to be a corner corner, do a lot of Kyle Hamilton type stuff. Even if he doesn’t look like Kyle Hamilton.”
