2nd round (No. 60): EDGE Curtis Weaver, Boise State
Weaver is another solid edge defender that makes sense for Baltimore. Even though Uche was taken just a few picks earlier, the Ravens have a desperate need for more help at outside linebacker. Matthew Judon might be tagged but he isn’t locked up to a long-term deal yet and could still be traded, and behind him is very little in the way of functional depth.
Much like Uche, Weaver can be used in a bunch of different spots on the field. He can be tasked with setting the edge, providing outside pressure or even getting after the quarterback from inside. Unlike Uche, however, he’s not quite as athletic which limits a little of what he can do beyond that and might have him spend a lot of time at defensive end.
Still, Weaver is a weapon that will find meaningful snaps as a rookie with a good upside to develop into even more.
