for a while I thought the pick would be Mykel or Malaki but its now looking like Mykel wont be there
reports saying 7 pass rushers could be gone in the first 24 picks
if thats the case I dont see Decosta taking the 8th best pass rusher at 27
also it might be smoke screens but Ive been seeing Luther Burden to the Ravens reports the last couple days
I wouldnt hate that pick as much as I would hate taking a safety or corner but I still prefer we draft in the trenches
Everybody has their own ranking positionally on draft picks after the top 2 guys. I've seen Donovan Ezeiruaku ranked as the 8th overall pass rusher and him as the 50th overall draft prospect and that's with 16.5 sacks.
He's only 6'2" and 265-270lbs with 32" arms. He'll struggle against the run and keeping the big olineman off his body. Ravens should use him as a situational pass rusher until he gets stronger or his technique against the run is refined, whichever comes first.
I just hate to see them overreaching on draft picks because I haven't seen Ezeiruaku ranked anywhere as a 1st round pick. If he can get them double digit sacks and force fumbles, he only caused 1 in college, not good, but can be coached to produce more, I won't care about him being a one trick pony.
