player. 26. The Baltimore Ravens are expected to part ways with OLB Elvis Dumervil this offseason. The Sun is clearly setting his great career and Terrell Suggs doesn’t have long. So it would be wise for the Ravens to find a pass rusher to bring heat off the edge.
<p>Suggs could show him the ropes for a couple of years before he takes over as the primary edge rusher. The Ravens like their OLB/edge rushers thicker with more leverage to be physical. You don’t generally see the tall, wiry guys with arm length coming off the edge for them.</p>
<p>They’re about 6’3″ and under and weigh anywhere from 260 pound to around 275 pounds. So 6’3″, 265-pound Derek Barnett would be the perfect fit for the Ravens right here at No. 16 overall. As a pass rusher, he primarily wins with physicality and anticipates the snap well.</p>
<p>Like Suggs and Dumervil, he doesn’t have elite burst, but he’s powerful and he knows how to Get to the QB. He also has a variety of hand moves and his motor never stops running. The Ravens defense would be set up well for the future with Barnett in the fold.</p>. OLB. Tennessee. Derek Barnett. 16
