Pernell McPhee, at 6’3″, 280 pounds, followed the money to Chicago last offseason. And with him went insurance and the future at OLB. Emmanuel Ogbah is 6’3″, 275 pounds and has shown the speed and agility to drop in coverage when needed.
But he will be needed most going forward as a pass-rusher by the Ravens. Suggs’ injury caused the Ravens’ pass-rush to fall off a bit this year. So the Ravens have to make this pick and have their big edge-rusher to go into the future with.

Emmanuel Ogbah
EDGE, Oklahoma State
The Baltimore Ravens have always been known as a defense-first team. Losing OLB Terrell Suggs at the begining of the season sure didn’t help. Suggs is 33, comming off an Achilles tendon tear so they can’t be too sure about him.
Opposite OLB Elvis Dummerville is playing pretty well right now but Dummerville is 31. You just never know when the body is going to break down at that age. So the edge-rusher position is one that must be addressed this offseason.
