Baltimore Ravens 2021 mock draft following quiet free agency
By Pablo Rosero
Adding a player at right tackle should be important for the Ravens since Brown Jr’s future is currently up in the air. Doyle is the sixth-ranked right tackle prospect according to Sports Illustrated’s The NFL Draft Bible.
At 6-foot-8, 326-pounds, Doyle is a behemoth of a man and would best be served as depth in year one. Baltimore could look to add a player like Mitchell Schwartz after the draft for a season.
Wiggins is an interesting safety prospect that was an above-average player during his time at Cincinnati. After an impressive sophomore season and not playing his junior year due to a torn ACL, Wiggins had an average senior season which led to him dropping down draft boards.
After the Ravens had to deal with the Earl Thomas drama the team saw what it had at the safety position and could use additional depth.
With John Harbaugh being a former special teams coach, he could see the value that a player like James Wiggins brings at that facet of the game.
Shi Smith could continue the pipeline of impressive wideouts to come out from South Carolina in the past few years. I don’t think that Smith will drop down to the sixth round after his impressive performance at the Senior Bowl where he showed off his route running and spectacular catch abilities.
The Ravens need depth at the wide receiver position even after signing Sammy Watkins in free agency and, hypothetically, taking Kadarius Toney in the first round. Taking Smith this late allows the team to fill other areas of need and still address the wideout spot with a solid player.
