26. Pick Analysis. Center. LSU. player. 55. Scouting Report. Lloyd Cushenberry III

Recently, the Baltimore Ravens have been highlighting the interior offensive line as a “top priority” going into the 2020 NFL Draft. Yanda’s retirement has left a void at right guard that they hope will be filled by either 2019 fourth-round pick Ben Powers or 2019 UDFA Patrick Mekari, who played late in the year at center for the injured Matt Skura.

With Skura still on the mend from a brutal knee injury sustained last season and the time table for his return still relatively unknown, LSU center Lloyd Cushenberry III is the pick here at 55 overall. Cushenberry is a solid center prospect, showing incredible length for the position and good play strength. Cushenberry would be an immediate upgrade over Skura at center for the Baltimore Ravens.

Donovan Peoples-Jones. Scouting Report. Wide Receiver . Michigan. 60. player. 26. Pick Analysis

GM Eric DeCosta said on Thursday that he believes that there are “25 draftable players” at the wide receiver position. The Baltimore Ravens have been rumored to be looking for another receiver to pair with Marquise Brown and Myles Boykin, creating a young core for quarterback Lamar Jackson.

While poor quarterback play at the University of Michigan may have stymied some of the potential Donovan Peoples-Jones had come into Michigan as a five-star recruit, and he still remains a top receiver prospect in this class. People-Jones shows smoothness in his route running, matching that with good RAC ability and functional speed.

With plenty of experience playing from the slot, People-Jones can eventually replace Willie Snead when his contract expires after the 2020 NFL season.
