For the Ravens, evaluating running back prospects in the draft is all about the specific type of player and fit on the roster. Baltimore has three backs currently on the roster in Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards, and Kenneth Dixon. While all three have different strengths and skill sets, they’re generally downhill, between-the-tackles runners.
Thus, it’s no surprise that the Ravens have talked about adding a speedy running back in the draft with ability to break off big plays and play third downs. Given the Ravens are looking for this specific mold at the position, some players projected to go higher than the ones you’ll find below were left out of these rankings because of play style.
