UDFA – C Patrick Mekari
Mekari actually turned out to be Baltimore’s best rookie if we don’t just count the drafted players. He stepped in for center Matt Skura when he suffered a devastating knee injury and actually played even better, even though Skura was playing very well already. That’s remarkable for any player, much less an undrafted rookie.
Mekari ended up starting five games as a rookie and could very well alter the Ravens’ plans at center for next season, especially if Skura isn’t going to be ready for training camp. Mekari played far better than his draft status indicated and could have ended up cementing himself as a starter for 2020.
That’s worthy of the highest grade for Baltimore’s rookies in 2019.
