Florida State. Jalen Ramsey. 6. player. 26. . Defensive Back

The fall of Ramsey ends here. The Ravens have an opportunity to get a guy that will be in charge of shutting down A.J. Green and Antonio Brown in the AFC North. A guy who can play corner or safety, Ramsey brings a toughness along with some vintage Ravens attitude back to this defense. The Ravens had an unfortunate 2015, but are better than their record indicates. Ramsey helps them return to playoff form.

It’s hard to imagine Ramsey slipping much further than this and the Ravens may find themselves debating over Ramsey, Ronnie Stanley, or one of the defensive linemen available. Ultimately, Ramsey is far and away better than the next best defensive back in this draft, so the elite potential supersedes the other players available here for Baltimore.
