Mel Kiper mock 3.0: Ravens take unique offensive tackle

One of the biggest surprises in Mel Kiper Jr.'s latest mock draft was the Baltimore Ravens selecting offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk with the No. 16 overall pick.

There is a need because the Ravens lost starting right tackle Rick Wagner to the Lions in free agency. There's even symmetry to it: one Wisconsin lineman takes over for another.

But the growing consensus has been the Ravens will take a wide receiver, cornerback or pass- rusher with their first-round pick. Kiper links Baltimore to Ramczyk even though there are a handful of playmakers -- wide receivers Corey Davis and John Ross, pass-rushers Charles Harris and Derek Barnett and running back Dalvin Cook -- still on the board.
