Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta bolstered the existing strengths of pass coverage and rushing offense at the start of the new league year. The team’s primary remaining positional needs are clearly identified as wide receiver and edge rusher. The interior of the offensive line, inside linebacker and tailback could also benefit from additional depth.
DeCosta will utilize his draft capital to construct a roster capable of defending Baltimore’s AFC North crown. With a touch of luck, value and need could merge to produce the perfect 2019 Ravens draft:
Pick #22: Clelin Ferrell, Edge, Clemson
Ferrell lacks the flashy athleticism of his draft mates Josh Allen, Montez Sweat and Brian Burns, but he projects as a three-down ‘rush’ linebacker who can step in immediately at Terrell Suggs’ spot.
