How about the Baltimore Ravens adding all of this speed through the NFL Draft?
They started things off by trading down and still managing to get Marquise Brown, who could be the fastest player in this entire class. Is he going to be able to throw blocks if they only throw the ball 20-25 times a game?
Then they added Miles Boykin out of Notre Dame, who has a great combination of size and speed.
Then came 4.4 running back Justice Hill in the fourth round.
I love what the Ravens did to add speed on offense one year after drafting Lamar Jackson, Hayden Hurst, and Mark Andrews as building blocks for the offensive skill positions.
Jaylon Ferguson was a worthy third-round pick after an insanely productive college career but poor workouts. He should help replace some of what the Ravens lost off the edge in free agency.
I always love when teams bring in highly graded college teammates, so adding Ben Powers on the interior line out of Oklahoma one year after drafting Orlando Brown is a fun move to me.
Daylon Mack is a great late-round pick and could contribute immediately in sub packages at nose tackle.
Trace McSorley could be Baltimore’s version of Taysom Hill.
Grade: A
