The Ravens often draft defensive linemen and outside linebackers in the opening three rounds, a trend that’s especially important this year. Baltimore’s in need of pass-rushing help after losing Terrell Suggs and Za’Darius Smith in free agency, and this draft class is considered to have a deep and talented group of defensive ends.
While the Ravens haven’t drafted many wide receivers in the early rounds, they used a first-round on Breshad Perriman in 2015 and a second-rounder on Torrey Smith in ‘11. If outside linebacker doesn’t stand as the Ravens’ biggest need this year, than receiver does.
