player. 26. Elvis Dumervil is 33, missed eight games in 2016 and the Baltimore Ravens can save $6 million cutting him. That’s clear handwriting on the wall so we can’t expect to see him back with the team in 2017. Terrell Suggs still looks like he has a little gas left in the tank so we will see him. <p>He’s also the perfect guy to take a young edge rusher under his wing and show him the ropes. And from there they have their next great pass rusher to go into the future with. That guy they will be going into the future with is Derek Barnett from Tennessee.</p> <p>Barnette fits the mold of those shorter, thicker 4-3 DEs they like to turn into big 3-4 OLBs. He’s 6’3″, 265 pounds and strong as a bull with leverage to get under opposing tackles. Like Suggs and company before him, Barnette is good against the run and the pass.</p> <p>When rushing the passer, he primarily wins with power as well as his hand moves. And also like Suggs, he has a consistently high running motor that never stops. The Baltimore Ravens defense would continue to be great with this being their pick in Round 1. </p>. OLB. Tennessee. Derek Barnett. 16
