2020 NFL Draft: Baltimore Ravens post-draft grades
Defensive Tackle. Texas AM. Justin Madubuike. 71. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 26
Similar to the situation at running back, the Baltimore Ravens did not need to address the interior defensive line this early in the 2020 NFL Draft, however, they once again went “BPA” and select Texas A&M defensive tackle Justin Madubuike.
A disruptive player in college, Madubuike brings power and high energy motor to a defensive line that includes Calais Campbell, Brandon Williams and Derek Wolfe. Likely a rotational guy in year one, Madubuike has the upside to be a future starter for the Baltimore Ravens.
Final Grade: B+
Scouting Report. Wide Receiver. player. 92. 26. Pick Analysis. Texas. Devin Duvernay
One area that the Baltimore Ravens were expected to address fairly early on was at the wide receiver position. Willie Snead is on the books for one more year and has played inconsistently over the past season. As such, the Ravens selected Texas slot receiver Devin Duvernay here in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. While not the most nuanced route-runner, Duvernay has solid hands and brings another speed element to the offense.
Final Grade: B+
26. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Linebacker. 98. Ohio State. Malik Harrison . player
In the first round the Baltimore Ravens, the Ravens addressed inside linebacker with Queen in the hopes that he’d play next to LJ Fort and Jake Ryan. However, it seems as though the Ravens had other plans, as with their 98th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft they selected Ohio State linebacker, Malik Harrison.
While more of a pure run-stuffer rather than a cover guy, Harrison gives the Ravens a yang to Queen’s yin. Harrison fell in the draft and is an excellent value pick for Baltimore.
Final Grade: A+
Scouting Report. Tyre Phillips . 106. player. Pick Analysis. Offensive Guard/Offensive Tackle. Mississippi State. 26
With Marshal Yanda‘s retirement and the release of swing lineman James Hurst, the interior offensive line was a fairly big need for the Ravens. Enter Tyre Phillips, who will most likely switch to guard in the NFL despite playing tackle in college. Phillips shows good power in his game, an ideal run blocker for the Baltimore Ravens scheme.
Final Grade: B
