Opinion: In the next few weeks, you’ll read a thousand thoughts about what the Ravens might do in the first round of the draft, but here’s some evidence to mull: “He’s a very versatile player and I expect him to be an impact player in the NFL,” Head Coach John Harbaugh said last week about (drum roll) Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers. Though listed as a safety, Peppers is a unique player, strong enough to handle inside linebacker, according to Harbaugh. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Ravens take him.
Fact: The Ravens brought free agent center Nick Mangold to Baltimore last week, but the seven-time Pro Bowl selection, formerly with the New York Jets, left without signing a deal.
