1st Round: The Queen selection at 28 was one of PFF s favorite picks of the first round, especially after the Los Angeles Chargers moved up to take a linebacker at pick 23 and the Seattle Seahawks went linebacker right in front of Baltimore at 27. The Ravens entered the draft with no starting-caliber linebackers in their roster. Queen is an elite athlete bit only started one season at LSU and the Ravens have a complex matchup-zone schemes that requires players to make reads and adjustments on the fly. His explosiveness and smoothness as an athlete more than likely makes up for that. It s an incredibly tall order for this particular linebacker to step in and contribute right away on a Super Bowl-ready team. But Queen is gifted and he improved noticeably over the course of 2019.

Balance Of The Draft: Dobbins at No. 55 isn t a move that brings a whole lot of value to this offense. He has clearly been productive at Ohio State over the course of his career, rushing for over 2,000 yards last season along with three consecutive seasons of 78.7-plus rushing grades. The issue is that they didn t need to go running back here, especially with veteran Mark Ingram entrenched at tailback how much space is created by a Ravens rushing attack that is spearheaded by Lamar Jackson and what was one of the better offensive lines in the NFL just a season ago ... Then, there were four third-round picks in total. Duvernay brings more speed, yards-after-the-catch ability and solid hands to this wide receiving corps, but just don t ask him to win on routes downfield ... Harrison is much more of a downhill player at linebacker than Queen, but his proficiency as a blitzer at Ohio State (38 pressures over last two seasons) should play well on a defense that blitzed significantly more than any other defense in 2019 ... Phillips is more likely than not to kick inside to guard at the NFL level. He has issues in pass protection, but the Ravens should be able to use his strength and body-moving ability in the run game ... Stone is one of the most underrated safeties in the draft class. His processing and quicks are a fit for every defense in the NFL. On his 883 coverage snaps over the last three years, Stone had put together one of the best coverage grades in the country at 91.8. He s played a majority of his snaps deep, and that s exactly where he belongs he played over 600 snaps at free safety in his career and has been responsible for only 137 yards while intercepting three passes and forcing seven incompletions.
