Baltimore Ravens: 7 Round Mock Draft- Adding to the Trenches

Here is my 7 Round Mock Draft for the Baltimore Ravens as this is where I see them going if they do not trade down in the 2019 NFL Draft.

This was done through The Draft Network draft simulator as I address the rest of the needs the Ravens have on both sides of the ball. Baltimore will most likely trade out of their 1st round pick but with no trades in this mock draft, the Ravens pick with their 8 selections total (1st, two 3rds, two 4ths, 5th, two 6ths) in the 2019 NFL Draft.

At pick 22 if Baltimore did have to pick; the Ravens biggest needs include wide receiver, interior offensive line, edge rusher, or linebacker.

Even though the Ravens did lose a lot of critical pieces on defense like Terrell Suggs (Cardinals), C.J. Mosely (Jets), Za’Darius Smith (Packers), and Eric Weddle (Rams); they should still be in decent shape as they do have unproven, but young players waiting to make a big jump in 2019. Baltimore made some nice signings in free agency by signing Earl Thomas, Mark Ingram, and Seth Roberts in free agency to fill some of those needs but a good draft could propel them back into the playoffs in a tough AFC North division.

Round 1- Pick 22: Garrett Bradbury (IOL) N.C. State

The Baltimore Ravens get an instant starter left guard while getting an upgrade at the center position with their 1st round pick. Garrett Bradbury is considered as the best center prospect and turned heads at the combine. The redshirt senior N.C. State interior offensive lineman is a refined technician as a blocker to hold up in the passing game while athletic enough to move around laterally as he was in a zone-heavy rushing scheme in college.

Round 3- Pick 85: Terry McLaurin (WR) Ohio State

Terry McLaurin can be described as a nuanced route runner that has the speed as a deep threat. The senior Ohio State receiver can contribute to special teams and can play on the outside or in the slot as a versatile piece the Ravens could use as a starter. McLaurin would give Jackson someone who is already polished off the gate as he can make the big play but also do the little things consistently.

Round 3- Pick 102: Bobby Okereke (LB) Stanford

Baltimore deployed all three of their inside linebackers last year so getting depth and a potential starter in the middle of the defense is something that has to be addressed soon rather than later. Bobby Okereke is a rangy linebacker that can cover and has good instincts as a tackler. The redshirt senior Stanford linebacker is also another special teams contributor that brings more speed on the inside of their defense.

Round 4- Pick 113: Anthony Nelson (EDGE) Iowa

Getting a running mate for Matt Judon will need to be addressed so taking Anthony Nelson could be in the cards as he can disrupt any play with his motor. The redshirt junior Iowa edge rusher has good length and was productive as a defensive end. Nelson can be used as a bigger outside linebacker like Za’Darius Smith as a pass rushing specialist.

Round 4- Pick 123: Miles Boykin (WR) Notre Dame

Miles Boykin is a height, weight, and speed specimen that could be a red zone target the Ravens could covet. The senior Notre Dame wide receiver has surprising quickness as a long strider with a huge catch radius that matches his frame. Boykin would be a potential mismatch on the outside for Baltimore that has upside as a potential top target.

Round 5- Pick 160: Trayveon Williams (RB) Texas A&M

In a run-first offense, the Ravens will need depth at running back and getting someone like Trayveon Williams that has some burst and quickness would be ideal this late in the draft. Junior Texas A&M running back had tons of production in college and can stay on the field on all 3 downs as he is one of the better pass blockers as a running back. Williams has some upside as a pass catcher as well and is physical despite size as he could complement the likes of Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards, and Kenneth Dixon.

Round 6- Pick 191: Isaiah Buggs (IDL) Alabama

New general manager Eric DeCosta pulls shades of Ozzie Newsome and takes an Alabama interior defensive lineman. Isaiah Buggs could step in and play as a 3-4 defensive end to replace Brent Urban but can play inside as a defensive tackle as a rotational player. Buggs gives the Ravens a sack specialist that was productive last year as a versatile piece on the defensive line as a senior.

Round 6- Pick 193: Marvell Tell III (S) USC

The Ravens tend to get a defensive back late in the draft, as a team can never have too many defensive backs as I could see them taking a flier on someone athletic like Marvell Tell III. The senior USC safety would have to compete for a backup role but he has the physical traits to convert to cornerback if need be. Tell III has some upside as a versatile defensive back that would be worth taking this late in the draft.
