Oregon. DeForest Buckner. 6. player. 26. . DL

The Baltimore Ravens can go in a couple of different directions the way the board is shaping up for them.

They can go with a cornerback like Vernon Hargreaves to help shore up the secondary. They could go with an offensive tackle to protect Joe Flacco like Ronnie Stanley. Or they could go with a massive defensive lineman like DeForest Buckner to help in run and pass defense.

At 6’7″ and 290 pounds with arms as long as tree trunks, Buckner can be a force as a 3-4 end in the Ravens system and be the next Calais Campbell and develop into a Pro Bowl performer.
