16. Baltimore Ravens

UCLA. Takkarist McKinley . 16. player. 26. How much longer can the Baltimore Ravens hope to lean on Terrell Suggs? He has been their primary pass rusher for years but it’s clear age is starting to catch up to him. Elvis Dumervil as well. There is no young presence at outside linebacker ready to take the torch. This can’t be allowed to continue. Not if they want to keep pace in the AFC North with Pittsburgh. This class is stacked with rushers, so they must take advantage. <p>Takkarist McKinley has hovered in the background for some time. Not surprising given the competition and how poorly the year went for UCLA. That didn’t stop him from making an impact though. He showcased the kind of athleticism and burst 3-4 outside linebackers are required to have with 10 sacks and 18 tackles for loss in 2016. This kid knows how to penetrate the backfield and make things happen. Baltimore can get on board with that.</p>. OLB
