The Ravens were visibly happy to get wide receiver Breshad Perriman with the 26th pick in the first round of the 2015 draft.
After all, as Head Coach John Harbaugh told WBAL Radio, the Ravens had him ranked 14th or 15th on their big board, to which they stay true.
But Perriman came close to not being the pick.
As the Ravens neared their pick, they had multiple options.
Just as Owner Steve Bisciotti predicted to fans in early-April, pass rushers had slid down the board. A pair, Kentucky’s Bud Dupree and Missouri’s Shane Ray, were inching ever closer.
