2016 NFL Mock Draft number 2
By Dan Heaning
- Baltimore Ravens
Ronnie Stanley – OT – Notre Dame
Eugene Monroe has started and played in 17 games for the past two seasons. With Monroe’s body breaking down, the Ravens will have to think of younger options to bolster their 26th ranked rushing attack.
Enter Ronnie Stanley of Notre Dame who helped protect quarterbacks DeShone Kizer and Malik Zaire while paving the way for C.J. Prosise and Josh Adams to rush for a combined 1,867 yards. Thanks to those efforts, the Fighting Irish went 10-3 and earned the right to get blown out in the Fiesta Bowl by the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Baltimore could use some help getting more turnovers from their secondary. Perhaps they could take an available cornerback like Vernon Hargreaves and Mackensie Alexander to turn that around. But that’s not as crucial as their need to improve the ground game.
