The Baltimore Ravens could use help at a number of positions, including wide receiver. However, with LSU star running back Leonard Fournette still on the board this late, it’ll be hard for the Ravens to pass up on him.

Fournette has been dealing with an ankle injury all year, and a recent report from injury expert Will Carroll claimed that he is dealing with a chronic ankle injury that could require surgery. That report could hurt Fournette’s draft stock in April, but let’s not forget just how talented he is.

Coming in at 6’1” and 235 pounds, Fournette is the complete package at running back with size, speed and aggressiveness. Fournette is a hard player to bring down and he can drive defenders into the ground with a brutal stiff arm.

His stock may fall, but a healthy Fournette could become one of the best running backs in the NFL, and the Ravens would be just fine with that if they took him at No. 16 overall.
