The Baltimore Ravens need to reload and revamp their edge defender depth chart after losing Matthew Judon, Yannick Ngakoue, and Jihad Ward in free agency. They are hosting some veteran pass rushers this week for visits but likely won’t sign one until after the draft when they won’t impact the compensatory pick formula.
This year’s class doesn’t have a clear-cut consensus at edge rusher but is chock full of several diverse and versatile prospects at the position. One such player is Joseph Ossai of the University of Texas.
There hasn’t been an edge defender from the program drafted in the first round since Brian Orakpo was taken 13th overall in 2009 but that drought could potentially end this year.
