5th round: LB Chris Orr, Wisconsin
If Orr’s name sounds familiar, it’s because the Ravens had his older brother, Zach Orr, as a starting linebacker before his abrupt retirement. Much like his brother was, Chris Orr is a developmental prospect. Orr is a little undersized at 6-foot-0 and 224 pounds and has limited athleticism but what he lacks in those areas, he makes up elsewhere as an early-down linebacker.
He has good vision, keeping his eyes in the backfield and diagnosing where plays are going well enough. He’s got the size and strength to fend off linemen with enough agility to weave through potential blockers to make the tackle. Orr is also a plus blitzer as his 11.5 sacks and 14 tackles for loss in 2019 will attest. In spite of his limited athleticism, Orr does a decent job in short-area coverage, though he plays more of a clean-up role rather than making many plays on the ball there.
Even as a fifth-round option, Orr would likely compete with Jake Ryan in training camp for a good number of snaps as a rookie. Though his upside is limited, he could become a two-down starting linebacker for Baltimore just like his brother did.
