In other mock drafts I have seen him projected to the Buffalo Bills in the third round and even lasting as long as the fourth round. Although I do not think the Ravens will reach for him in the first with all of the needs we have at this point, if he is a player they like as much as I do they may trade a later round pick to move up and get him in the second or third if he is still there. I know Arthur, John and I will be watching and hoping that Chandler Jones somehow ends up in the purple and black come draft day.
Below I've listed his college highlights from SU.com.
