TRADE

New England Patriots get: 28th overall pick, 106th overall pick

Baltimore Ravens get: 23rd overall pick

LSU. Patrick Queen. 23. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 26. LB

The Baltimore Ravens have spent some substantial resources in the 2020 offseason already on the defensive side of the ball, why not make an aggressive move up for one of the draft’s top off-ball linebackers?

Baltimore has a fearsome defensive front with plenty of size and experience. They have put together a unit that includes:

  • Calais Campbell
  • Michael Brockers
  • Brandon Williams
  • Matthew Judon
  • Jaylon Ferguson

With that said, the Ravens are bleeding a little bit at the off-ball linebacker position, and Patrick Queen would be an outstanding addition for them at this point of the first-round.

He has big-time speed and reactive quickness, and playing behind the line described above? This guy would make a ton of plays.

It’s not an Alabama player, but I think Ozzie Newsome would approve of this one.
