  1. Baltimore Ravens

Joey Bosa – DE/OLB – Ohio State

The Ravens need offensive line help but they also need an edge rushing linebacker/defensive end and Bosa is the best in this years class at his position. The Ravens always seem to find very good linebackers for their system and Bosa can slide in and be a day one impact player from the start. Baltimore’s defense is aging and with that in mind, Bosa could give the group a much-needed pop in the front seven.

The teams top need is safety but with Ramsey off the board, the Ravens need to fix their pass rush defense. While Bosa had a “down” year in 2015 his stock has not dropped and the Ravens will benefit from his strong defense against the rush as well. The Ravens run a 3-4 defense which is where Bosa is at his best.
