2021 NFL Mock Draft: First-round projections after national championship
The Ravens have a few needs heading into the offseason, but they’re currently worried about a Super Bowl run. When their run is over (or they win it all), they need to look forward to the draft where they’ll likely be thinking offensive line or receiver.
Lamar Jackson is the franchise quarterback and he could be helped out by either. In order to ensure his longevity, adding some strength to the trenches would be wise, but he could also use some receiver depth.
Only one receiver broke 500 yards this season while the other to break that plateau was tight end Mark Andrews. Marquise Brown is Jackson’s favorite target and he has a bright future in Baltimore, it seems, but adding a clear No. 2/3 target would be wise.
With Ja’Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith, Rashod Bateman and Rondale Moore off the board at this point, I have Baltimore going interior offensive lineman with Ohio State’s Wyatt Davis.
Davis had a heck of a career with the Buckeyes and he could probably start right away in the NFL — he’s that good. That’s music to John Harbaugh’s ears.
