2nd Round, Pick 55

WR Laviska Shenault, Colorado – Available 35% of the time

Shenault was the most selected player at this spot by far, with other players tied up at only two selections each (10% availability). Through all of the mocks, the Ravens selected a receiver here 50% of the time, which makes sense in this deep draft class.

Shenault has game-breaking speed and physicality after the catch, though his route-running prowess requires some refining to take advantage of his positives. He’s the type of receiver that can play in any spot on the offense and thrive but the slot might be the best fit for him in Baltimore. Willie Snead is the proven commodity, but the Ravens could opt to add more electricity to the position.

A combination of Marquise Brown, Shenault and Mark Andrews would be prolific with 2019 MVP Lamar Jackson slinging the ball. Shenault has the height and speed to succeed in the NFL, and a good coaching staff should be able to get the best out of him.
