Character made choosing Ronnie Stanley over Laremy Tunsil an easy call for Ravens

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The best move in Baltimore Ravens' draft history happened in 1996, when the team selected Hall of Fame offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden over troubled running back Lawrence Phillips.

Twenty years later, the Ravens once again made a decision that steered them away a player who was heavily linked to them but ultimately came with too many red flags.

Baltimore went with the safer and cleaner pick at offensive tackle, selecting Notre Dame's Ronnie Stanley over Ole Miss' Laremy Tunsil at the No. 6 overall pick. Whether Stanley is the most gifted tackle in this draft is debatable.
