With the NFL offseason comes mock drafts and speculation about which prospects every team will take. There will be debate and arguments all the way up to the cards being run up to the podium and announced officially. But with the Baltimore Ravens’ needs well established, we have a pretty good idea of which prospects aren’t on their radar for the 2020 NFL Draft.
Or do we?
In reality, no prospects will be ruled out entirely. While we can hone in on a handful of players the Ravens will likely be coveting in the first round, there are always some that shouldn’t be completely dismissed, even if they’d be surprising picks.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at six surprising but plausible prospects Baltimore could pick at No. 28 in the 2020 NFL Draft.
S Grant Delpit, LSU
The Ravens have a handful of key needs to fill this offseason and safety isn’t one of them. After signing Earl Thomas last offseason and handing Chuck Clark a three-year contract extension this offseason, Baltimore is as set at safety as any team in the league.
But just as I did in a recent mock draft, if Delpit is available at No. 28, the Ravens are going to have to give it some serious thought. Thomas could be cut as early as next offseason and getting younger and cheaper there would benefit the team greatly right as they’re trying to re-sign big-name players like Ronnie Stanley, Lamar Jackson and Marlon Humphrey.
