The Baltimore Ravens went with the best available option with their first pick of the second round (No. 55 overall), taking Ohio State RB J.K. Dobbins. It was a shock to many, even those that figured the team would take a running back in this draft. But no one really expected them to take on with their second pick.
Even though Dobbins is entering a crowded backfield (the Ravens already have solid options in Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill on the roster), Twitter seemed to be more than thrilled with the latest addition to Baltimore’s record-breaking rushing attack, under the command of QB Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens got JK Dobbins? That whole team is a human joystick

The Ravens are just gonna run teams into the ground next year. Rotate the RBs, keep them all fresh all year, and wear out every defense… and then throw it to Hollywood deep, and to Andrews on third down. And I’m here for it.

Adding insult to injury, rival fans don’t appear to be too thrilled about facing the returning AFC North Champions with the addition of Dobbins to that prolific rushing attack.
As if the Ravens needed much help. Patrick Queen and JK Dobbins were the worst possible picks for them as a Browns fan

JK Dobbins being passed up multiple times in the second round only to get drafted by the Ravens was the absolute worst case scenario for me as Buckeye and Browns fan. Guess why both happened and I have to root against him while he sits behind Ingram

But this may be my favorite tweet in response to the draft. This kid is my spirit animal. I was on the fence about the Ravens taking Dobbins, yet I am now completely convinced . . . and onboard with it.
This little guy is super excited about the JK Dobbins pick. 😂 @Ravens @Jkdobbins22 pic.twitter.com/ZgstcXkpcZ
