Ravens need this year's No. 16 pick to be next Zack Martin, not EJ Manuel
The Baltimore Ravens currently have the No. 16 pick in the NFL draft, which recent history says can be hit or miss.
In the last 10 drafts, this middle-of-the-round selection has produced two Pro Bowl players (Ryan Kerrigan and Zack Martin), four other starters (Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Derrick Morgan, Kevin Johnson and Taylor Decker) and four of the biggest busts in their franchises' histories (Justin Harrell, Larry English, Quinton Coples and EJ Manuel).
With the Ravens coming off an 8-8 season and a second straight non-playoff year, the pressure is on for this year's No. 16 pick to become a perennial Pro Bowl player like Martin and not a major disappointment like Manuel.
