<blockquote><p id="shA0kd">Gritty, successful three-year starter who fell victim to a disappointing regression during his senior season. <span>McSorley</span> is a dual-threat quarterback who lacks size and arm talent but has shown an ability to throw with anticipation to help overcome his average arm strength. While <span>McSorley</span> can handle RPO duties, he seemed to be more comfortable and accurate when sitting down on throws from the pocket. He must regain his accuracy and confidence or he will need to try and transition to another position to make it. — Lance Zierlein</p></blockquote>
<p id="9JNquf">A competitor in training camp who will push RGIII to not rest on his laurels after re-signing this offseason. If McSorley does land on the final 53-man roster, look for him to produce gadget plays, misdirection and utilize his speed, which includes a 4.57 second 40-yard dash.</p>

<blockquote><p id="sp4s9x"><span>Mack</span> has been a largely underwhelming player for extended portions of his time at Texas A&M despite lofty expectations coming out of high school. However, he responded well to an off-season coaching staff change and a new defensive coordinator, and his play has helped to resuscitate his draft stock. While he has to prove he can build on his senior season, his mass and anchor could appeal to 3-4 or 4-3 teams looking to shore up the middle of their defense with a plugger in the later rounds. — Lance Zierlein</p></blockquote>
<p id="Kg8ctr">For the 11th consecutive year, the Ravens go out and draft a defensive lineman. I’m fine with it, seeing as interior pressure and gap integrity is critical to winning games in the AFC North. It sounds like Mack struggled at A&M but could become a great player with defensive line coach Joe Cullen. I like the pick.</p>

<blockquote><p id="GFxwmG">Physical four-year starter at cornerback who might need to prepare for a move to safety due to a lack of functional long speed and athleticism. Marshall’s size and play strength made life challenging on Pac-12 receivers, but he lacks the foot quickness and technique to stay connected to more refined NFL targets. While he could be in consideration for Cover-2 defenses, his ability to cover tight ends and handle run-support duties make him a natural candidate for a transition to safety. — Lance Zierlein</p></blockquote>
<p id="GmDID0">With Baltimore set at cornerback for the 2019 season, this is a great future pick which could pay dividends. Marshall is a bit raw and has been penalized frequently in his past two seasons (16), but with some development and mentorship from the best cornerback room in the league, Marshall may turn out to be a solid option in the future.</p>

<p id="FWLJp3">It’s great to see the Ravens see a program with such high development and to seek out their players. Just as they do with Alabama, they go to the big school with good players and develop them further into NFL starters.

<blockquote><p id="rPN5L9"><span>Hill</span> is an undersized but excitable runner with a go-go tempo that can work for and against him on any given series. He runs tough along the interior and has the vision and agility to slip tackles, but his lack of size and explosive top-end play speed could work against him. Hill might not have the skills needed to handle third-down duties, so he could be pigeon-holed as a try-hard backup with average upside. — Lance Zierlein</p></blockquote>
<p id="vAiKDD">Baltimore wants a track team and Eric DeCosta is most certainly building one. You don’t accidentally take this many quick-twitch burners and speedsters if you’re not onto something.

<p id="FHe7so">Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is a great prospect for the Ravens. He’s drawing enormous comparisons to Desean <span>Jackson</span> and sophomore quarterback <span>Lamar Jackson</span> needs somebody like this to open up the field. With such a run-heavy attack, it’s great to find somebody who can be a home run hitter.</p>
<p id="73OiyS">There are worries of Brown as he’s currently dealing with a Lisfranc fracture, something the Ravens know all to well with Jimmy Smith. That being said, Eric DeCosta, team doctors and the franchise wouldn’t sign off on Brown if they weren’t confident he would heal up to 100%.</p>
<p id="0QPfqn">This pick shows DeCosta was serious when he stated they needed to take more swings on receivers. Brown is blazing fast; he’s somebody who could truly open up the offense. He can beat press coverage and is a threat to score on any given down. I like the pick and I like the value here.</p>
<p id="JzHX5g">A quick reminder for everybody, the first round featured the Ravens landing <span>Marquise Brown</span>, an extra fourth-round and sixth-round pick. Eric DeCosta’s first <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl-draft">NFL draft</a> is appears to be playing out according to plan</p>
