Round 2, No. 60 Overall: Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR, Michigan

There are a lot of directions that the Baltimore Ravens can go on day two, but perhaps the most glaring is the wide receiver position. Yes, the Ravens took Marquise Brown in the first round in the 2019 draft, but other than him and Willie Snead, who’s more of a possession receiver, there aren’t real difference-makers right now.

Someone like Donovan Peoples-Jones would be a fun fit in Baltimore. His production hasn’t been great for the Wolverines, but part of that falls on coaching and quarterback Shea Patterson. Peoples-Jones will likely test well at the combine, and despite that production, the NFL seems to be high on him. He can work vertically down the field and is a great tracker of the football and has strong hands and an ample release.

Round 3, No. 92 Overall: Kenny Willekes, EDGE, Michigan State

Next up for the Ravens is an edge rusher, a position that becomes much more of a need if Matt Judon doesn’t return in 2020. Losing Judon and Za’Darius Smith in back-to-back seasons will hurt, but bringing in Kenny Willekes will ease the burden on the defensive line.

Willekes doesn’t have an elite first step or elite bend around the edge, but he’s got good functional strength and a high motor to finish off plays. He also brings strong hands to the table and brings a physical presence as a run defender.
