Ravens Rumors: Baltimore Targeting Joey Bosa, Pass Rushers In First Round

The Baltimore Ravens have the No. 6 overall pick in the NFL Draft, and there have been plenty of draft rumors surrounding the team about whom they'll take with that pick. The Ravens have been linked to players like Ole Miss OT Laremy Tunsil and Oregon DE DeForest Buckner, but the latest report says they're looking hard at Ohio State DE/OLB Joey Bosa. 

Jamison Hensley, the Ravens' beat writer for ESPN, says that the Ravens are targeting Bosa and two other pass rushers with the No. 6 overall pick. The other two are Clemson's Shaq Lawson and Georgia's Leonard Floyd. Pass rusher is a major need for the Ravens, as the Ravens have to aging starters in Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil and little depth. 

The Ravens believe Bosa can play as a 4-3 DE or as a 3-4 OLB, and think he'd fit in their defense. Hensley also reports the Ravens love Bosa's motor and attitude. Lawson and Floyd could both be considered reaches at No. 6 overall, but both could go in the Top 10 if the Ravens don't pick them.

Baltimore would likely love to land FSU DB Jalen Ramsey, but it's highly unlikely he lasts to their pick. Another option could be Ole Miss' Laremy Tunsil, although he might not last that long either.
