Ravens, Redskins Both Net Impressive NFL Draft Hauls
Ravens, Redskins both net impressive NFL Draft hauls Posted by S On 05/01/2016 Both local NFL teams took a major step forward this past weekend by adding some intriguing young talent to their rosters. Let's take a look at the haul for each team. Baltimore Ravens 1 (6) Ronnie Stanley, OT, Notre Dame | Highlights 2 (42) (from Miami) Kamalei Correa, OLB, Boise State | Highlights 3 (70) Bronson Kaufusi, DE, BYU | Highlights 4 (104) Tavon Young, CB, Temple | Highlights 4 (107) (from Miami) Chris Moore, WR, Cincinnati | Highlights 4 (130) (from Denver) Alex Lewis, OT, Nebraska | Highlights 4 (132) Willie Henry, DT, Michigan | Highlights 4 (134) Kenneth Dixon, RB, Louisiana Tech | Highlights 5 (146) (from Jacksonville) Matt Judon, DE, Grand Valley State | Highlights 6 (182) Keenan Reynolds, RB/WR, Navy | Highlights 6 (209) Maurice Canady, CB, Virginia| Highlights Day 1: The Ravens got things started on Day 1 of the draft by selecting Notre Dame LT Ronnie Stanley with the 6th overall pick. Due to their struggles in the secondary last season, the Ravens attempted to trade up in the draft to select Florida State cornerback Jalen Ramsey, but did well to acquit themselves with the 6'6", 312-pound Stanley. Stanley's mammoth size belies his quickness, a trait that will come in handy when trying to fend off speedy edge rushers. And with incumbent LT Eugene Monroe in the fold, the Ravens will be able to take their time bringing Stanley along until he's truly ready to perform. Day 2: Baltimore's biggest move of the day was undoubtedly trading the 36th overall selection to Jacksonville--which the Jaguars used to select highly-regarded but injury-prone UCLA linebacker Myles Jack--in exchange for picks 42, 107 (4th round), and 146 (5th round).
