Patrick Queen, LSU
If Simmons is not the target, then the Ravens could turn their attention to Queen out of national champion LSU. Queen was a key defensive player on a team that drew most of its accolades on the offensive side of the ball in 2019. He had 85 tackles as well as 12 for loss in addition to three sacks. He was no mug in coverage either, with three passes defended. He also had one interception.
Queen has attracted attention not only for his play but also his age and speed. Queen won’t turn 21 until August, making him one of the youngest players in the class. He also posted a 4.50-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. That’s the exact same time as Arizona State speedster wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk posted. The fact he was only a starter for one year at college also means there is less wear on his tires than other prospects at his position.
Queen still has room to grow and develop, but his production and athleticism make him an enticing prospect late in the first round. He could quite easily fit into Wink Martindale’s unit in 2020 and beyond.
