2nd Round – Josh Uche, Michigan
Uche was not a fulltime player during his time with the Michigan Wolverines, playing just over half of their defensive snaps in 2019. Despite this, he was still able to rack up 7.5 sacks as well as 10.5 tackles for loss. His efforts were recognized by his teammates, who voted him Michigan’s Defensive Player of the Year.
Uche profiles as a player that could help the Ravens as a pass rush specialist early in his career while he learns the finer nuances of the game. He’s an athlete who can rush the passer at the moment, though not necessarily an athletic pass rusher. The Ravens should be able to do through homework on Uche, given that he played under Jim Harbaugh in college.
