Well, it was a long way but the Baltimore Ravens answered one of their top offseason questions in the 2020 NFL Draft. Taking LSU linebacker Patrick Queen with the 28th pick in the first round, the Ravens filled a major need and made a lot of fans happy in the process.
But it was Queen’s new teammates that were first and loudest in congratulating him on joining the team.

Former New England Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi thinks Queen has “Ravens” all over him and fits the legacy of the franchise, which is high praise.
Patrick Queen was meant to be a Raven. Loved watching his tape. Gonna be a great backer.

One fan is adding the Ravens taking Queen in the first round to a list of items that might mean 2020 is done sucking as hard.
Patrick queen is a raven, Cudi teasing new albums, the last air bender is finally coming out on Netflix. 2020 might be getting better

As always, the ‘Game of Thrones’ memes were quick to make an appearance, though this one is pretty fitting.

This fan might be a future teller, calling Queen out a week before the draft ever started.
