Pundits Say Ravens Could Take Top Cornerback if He Falls to Them
Most mock drafts have the Ravens deciding on Ioane in the primary spherical, and those that do not often have Baltimore taking Utah’s Spencer Fano, a large receiver, Sadiq, or an edge rusher.
Cornerback just isn’t among the many Ravens’ largest wants, but when LSU’s Mansoor Delane continues to be out there after they’re on the clock at No. 14 tonight, do not be stunned if Baltimore snags him.
Delane is predicted to go in the highest 10, however somebody often falls.
“[Delane] could slide out of the top 10 if teams choose to upgrade in the trenches and draft offensive linemen,” ESPN’s Jamison Hensley wrote. “Plus, there’s a chance that Tennessee’s Jermod McCoy is the first cornerback drafted.
“The Ravens probably would leap on the alternative to seize Delane, who is taken into account the highest cornerback in this draft. Cornerback is an underrated want for Baltimore as a result of Marlon Humphrey turns 31 in July and is a free agent on the finish of the season.”
The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec stated Delane might be the Ravens’ quintessential greatest participant out there.
“The Ravens have used a first-round decide on a defensive again in three of the final 4 years, and so they have already got a ton of property wrapped up in the secondary,” Zrebiec wrote. “However, would General Manager Eric DeCosta have the option to withstand Delane if he falls?
“The former LSU standout has all the qualities of a shutdown cornerback in the NFL, and those guys are hard to find, particularly when you don’t often draft this early. Cornerback also looks like a need in the future with both Marlon Humphrey and Chidobe Awuzie eligible for free agency next year.”
On a aspect be aware, whereas the Ravens have a robust security group in All-Pro Kyle Hamilton, 2025 first-round decide Malaki Starks, and free-agent addition Jaylinn Hawkins, ESPN’s Matt Miller stated it does not imply they will not draft one.
“One source also told me that Baltimore has done considerable work at the safety position, but not necessarily for its Round 1 pick,” Miller wrote.
