OLB Tyus Bowser
Baltimore has shown little patience for players not living up to their draft status under new general manager Eric DeCosta. One such player that is going to be in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons this offseason is Bowser. Though Bowser really started to pick things up late last season, his 8.5 sacks over three seasons don’t fit with his second-round draft spot.
As we saw last season with the departure of outside linebacker Tim Williams and wide receiver Jordan Lasley, underperforming is the quickest way off this squad. But as a former second-round pick with five sacks and 10 quarterback hits last season, there’s enough there for some team to be interested in adding Bowser’s potential to their roster.
This makes the most sense for Baltimore if they grab a pass rusher in the first two rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft. They clearly need depth at the position and potentially an heir for Judon since he’s only locked up for the 2020 season on the franchise tag. But if they get a guy they like early, shopping Bowser for a fifth-round pick doesn’t sound like a terrible idea if they can get a contributor at another position of need with that selection.
