Opinion: The Ravens first pick in the draft most likely won’t be a sexy one, but that’s ok

Flashback to the 2016 NFL draft. The Baltimore Ravens have the sixth overall pick. An unusually high spot for the proud franchise. The superstars such as Jalen Ramsey, Joey Bosa, and Ezekiel Elliott are all off the board already, but the Ravens still have their choice of pretty much any player they want. The majority of the fan base clamors for a flashy playmaker, a top cornerback, or a premier pass rusher. The Ravens elected to go with offensive tackle Ronny Stanley out of Notre Dame instead.

This is what most would deem a “safe” and “boring” pick.
