Why the Ravens selected Jaylon Ferguson

Nearly 100 selections deep into the draft, Jaylon Ferguson was a great value pick. Matthew Judon needed someone to be able to effectively sub as the Ravens rush or joker along the front seven, and Ferguson is that guy. Ferguson’s slide in the draft can be attributed to poor agility scores. However, this is negated by his bevy of pass rush moves. At 6’5”, 270 pounds, he can play both inside or outside. Ferguson (as everyone has now heard) broke Terrell Suggs all-time FBS sack record, although Suggs did this before his 21st birthday.
