Since there’s clearly nothing else happening with the Ravens (sighhh), let’s leap proper into one other Mock Draft Friday, we could?
I had an opportunity to commerce up on this situation, and I couldn’t resist. Stewart is an absolute freak of nature at Edge. Whereas he is likely to be extra suited to play on the inside within the Ravens’ scheme, this man has full game-wrecker potential:

Watching his sport tape, you possibly can come away much less impressed along with his athletic potential. To me, this man is the kind of prospect you must take an opportunity on. The Ravens have been in a position to coast by with a strong, however not elite, cross rush for some time now, and that should change.
For my second decide, I went with Azareye’h Thomas, CB from Florida State. With Brandon Stephens very seemingly on the transfer, the Ravens may use another person to pair with Nate Wiggins on the skin, letting Marlon Humphrey do his factor within the slot. I predict that Thomas goes to be a quick riser on this draft. He’s younger at solely 20 years previous, athletic, and a PBU machine:

Whereas he doesn’t have many interceptions, he had a ton of ball manufacturing by means of his quite a few PBUs and could be an absolute improve over Stephens. His title is already beginning to pop up in some first spherical mocks I’ve seen followers of different groups placing collectively, so if he makes it out of the primary and into the late second, it is a steal of a decide.
Ajani Cornelius, T from Oregon, is as athletic and may develop properly. Dylan Fairchild of Georgia (although we’re in all probability gun shy about Bulldog guards after the Ben Cleveland expertise) may step in for Patrick Mekari, and Terp Jordan Phillips has been an enormous riser due to his Shrine Bowl efficiency.
Going again to Georgia, Nazir Stackhouse may very well be the subsequent Micheal Pierce.
Let me know what you consider this version of Mock Draft Friday!
