<p>With the season they had, even despite the injuries they suffered through, the Baltimore Ravens need to start filling some holes on this team if they want to contend in the NFC North again anytime soon. Of course, when you talk about the Ravens your mind immediately turns to the defensive side of the ball, and with a top pick, you know they’re going to go this route.</p> <p>This team could use some help in the secondary, and to fill this need there might not be a better option in this spot than Mackensie Alexander out of Clemson.</p> <p>Clemson had one of the more ferocious defensive units in 2015 and Alexander was a good reason why this group helped propel the Tigers to a national title game appearance. He really shined during his sophomore season, and quickly became someone in the secondary that you did not want to put the ball near and he can lay the lumber when needed.</p> <p>All things considered, Alexander and the way he plays might be the perfect fit as a Baltimore Raven. He just has that presence about him that shows he can be potentially the next great Ravens defensive star.</p> <p>With the passing offenses in the NFC North, especially with the Bengals and Steelers, Alexander is the most valuable pick in this position.</p>. CB. Clemson. Mackensie Alexander. 6. player. 26
