Baltimore Ravens Sign LB Jake Ryan, Create Draft Flexibility

The Baltimore Ravens came into the offseason with an obvious need at linebacker. After watching Derrick Henry steamroll the front seven in the AFC Wild Card game last year, it was obvious that some changes needed to be made.

The conventional wisdom has been that the Ravens will look to address the inside linebacker spot in the draft. Oklahoma’s Kenneth Murray and LSU’s Patrick Queen easily top the list of most common players pegged to Baltimore in the first round. Both are quality prospects, and while each has parts of their game to work on, either would figure to be plug-and-play starters.
