Consensus Mock Draft - Pick 22 Baltimore Ravens

[goldfishwars]

Why not, let's give this a go with combine and the major free agency moves in the book. 

Rules:

There are two polls - your first choice will count as 2pts, your second as 1pt. If players have the same score after 24 hours, the pick will go to the player with the most first place votes. 

I will take poll options from the website below, which aggregates all media big boards - so if your guy isn't on the board, don't blame me.

I'd like a corner, but the 3 guys who seem like plug and play are gone, so went WR. I like Zay Flowers. But the Ravens taking Johnston and having him bust is probably more likely. Seems like his upside is what Monken would want to target.

Flowers then Addison, for me. Which is exactly what I picked for LA

I reversed them, but either way is good.

[Dr A W Niloc]

On a normal team with this configuration I'd go WR then CB.

This being Baltimore, I'd go CB then WR.

Deonte Banks is really good. I don't know Baltimore's system, so I can't speak to if he fits there, but he is very worth this pick.

That being said, if Lamar is gone, they'll take a WR, but if he's here they'll take a CB

[BayRaider]

Banks. Could end up being the best corner of this class.

Voted Banks/Addison. Banks is a better calibur prospect than any of the WRs probably and he's a local kid. Ravens can draft a speedy boi in the second round.

The Ravens have a “speedy boi” already.  They need a legitimate #1 X receiver. I don’t think there is one in this class though. 

[diamondbull424]

Jordan Addison is the pick here for me IMO. One because Flowers probably won’t be there, but two I’m a bigger fan of the clutch gene from Addison and I think that would be a great addition to add for Lamar come playoff time to assist Lamar in his career playoff woes.

Addison and Flowers both have done a lot to make their collegiate QBs right however. I think Flowers is slightly better right now, but I trust Addison’s profile more.

Beyond that I think WR is the far more important position to nab over CB. Both are serious needs, but I think it’s far easier for the Ravens to recruit defensive performers than impact offensive talent.

Thats why I said get a speedy boi. Maybe grab someone like Williams in round 2 if he's there. Not the class you want to really rebuild your WR core.

[DreamKid]

Deonte Banks and Jordan Addison are easy choices. 

[sparky151]

I voted Banks then Flowers. Banks is the best talent on the board at a position of need. I like Flowers better than Addison or Johnston. 

[Ozzy]

Seems like it has to be CB, especially with no Marcus Peters, pretty weak CB room unless it is addressed.  

[wackywabbit]

REDO!

Or pretend I voted Banks instead of Flowers/Johnston
