Top 10 Targets in 2020 NFL Draft

The Wisconsin product Zack Baun is both an inside linebacker and an edge rusher. When he played Wisconsin and the film I have watched on him, I believe he will be a better edge rusher than a linebacker but the way that Wink Martindale wants to run his defense, this a player that the Ravens can build around. Baun would be a huge piece to this defense that you will have to find on every given play.

The other two edge rushers I have as top targets for the Ravens are both first-round prospects but both also have the past injuries that make concerned. Lewis and Okwara are both stud edge rushers and both will be great the next level, if they both can just say health. If Lewis and Okwara just do that, then we have some sleepers that came out of the second and even maybe start of the third-round.

Cesar Ruiz is the best interior offensive lineman in this draft. A very good run blocker, just like the Ravens are looking for but with the Dolphins at No.26, do the Ravens have to trade up and get Ruiz if that is the Ravens ‘guy’? Netane Muti is a different story. Muti has been hurt throughout most of his college career but when the man is on the field, he is the best player on the field. Muti could be a second to third-round pick, you are just making a very risky pick that can backfire with all of the injury concerns.

The Baltimore Ravens have a bunch of speed on the outside but if the Ravens can get Mims that I think could go in the first-round would make there team a lot better. Higgins to me is one of the best receivers in this draft class that should be a first-round pick but draft stock has dropped due to lack of performance at the NFL Scouting Combine and Claypool stock rose at the NFL Scouting Combine. Claypool was a day three pick before his performance at the Combine, now he has a second-round grade on him but could go in the top of the third-round.
