The Baltimore Ravens are putting the finishing touches on their draft board and gearing up for the 2020 NFL Draft. With this draft class being especially deep at many positions, the Ravens will have no shortage of good prospects to choose from. However, there are some positions that Baltimore will be looking to target more than others.
Running back has been the most controversial position of need for the Ravens in this draft, with some not seeing it as a need at all. While there are some exceptionally talented runners in the 2020 draft class, the Ravens have three productive running backs of their own in Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards, and Justice Hill. But with Edwards and Ingram not guaranteed to be back for 2021, and Baltimore’s typical best-player-available strategy, the Ravens could look to address a future need here in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Let’s take a look at eight top running backs the Ravens could select in the 2020 NFL Draft.
RB D’Andre Swift, Georgia
Swift leads a talented top half of the 2020 running back draft class. He racked up 2,885 rushing yards at 20 touchdowns on the ground while also adding 666 receiving yards and five touchdowns catches over three years at Georgia. Swift is dynamic in the open field and can use his lower body strength to run over guys standing in his way.
But just because Swift is the top running back doesn’t mean he’s going to go in the top-10. Running backs aren’t valued like they once were and Swift could easily fall to Baltimore at No. 28.
