22. Baltimore Ravens (via KC)

Where is the next great pass rusher coming from for the Baltimore Ravens? It’s a legitimate question to ask because Terrell Suggs doesn’t have much time left in the league. Nor does Elvis Dumervil who’s hurt anyway. The team has a strong defensive line but in order to remain a top defense they need outside linebackers who can rush the passer. Finding somebody who can learn under and then replace Suggs is not a bad plan. <p>Charles Harris is one of those pass rushers who will get overlooked because he doesn’t have the ideal size or athleticism that makes people go, “Wow.” The thing is though he’s quite good at doing his job, which is sacking the quarterback. That is what the NFL is about. Not being an athlete but being good at football. Harris is a high motor player with quickness and violent hands. He gives blockers fits and is difficult to stop when in a rhythm.</p>. DE. Missouri. Charles Harris . 22. player. 26
