9. Baltimore Ravens 2020 NFL Draft
– Baltimore has a way of being right there when good players are available to be taken. Seattle took Texas Tech LB Jordyn Brooks at the 27, and LSU’s Patrick Queen was right there for the Ravens. The Rams took FSU RB Cam Akers, and three picks later JK Dobbins was on the board. This franchise is great at taking the right players at the right times.

– Even late, there’s a lot to get excited about. No one would’ve said anything if SMU WR James Proche was selected in the fourth round – he fell to the sixth. Iowa’s Geno Stone is a terrific flier at safety – he fell to the seventh.
– It would’ve been nice to have grabbed a pass rusher or two, but that’s nitpicking. It was a strong all-around draft that checked a lot of boxes, but grabbing a DE among the nine picks didn’t happen.
Best Value Pick: DT Justin Madubuike, Texas A&M (3rd)
Biggest Reach: OG Ben Bredeson, Michigan (4th)
Late Flier That Could Work: WR James Proche, SMU (6th)
