<p>The Ravens have a real need at cornerback, but no player available is worthy of this draft position.</p> <p>The Ravens have a real need at pass-rusher, but not player available is worthy of this draft position.</p> <p>Yikes.</p> <p>Unfortunately for Baltimore, the <em>perfect</em> fit isn’t really there right now, but the Ravens picking up Ronnie Stanley would be a nice consolation prize. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound tackle from Notre Dame isn’t quite on Laremy Tunsil’s level as a pure left tackle, but Stanley would immediately help a Baltimore offensive line that wasn’t exactly stellar in 2015, and his presence could allow the Ravens to shift Eugene Monroe to right tackle in the long-term.</p> <p>If the Ravens decided to sure up their biggest need at corner, a reach for Florida cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III or even Eastern Kentucky pass-rusher Noah Spence would be in play, but in the process of this mock, Stanley is easily the best combination of overall stature and roster fit of anyone available. Protecting Joe Flacco (even with all of his flaws) is quite important to the Ravens in the future, and adding offensive line talent, while un-sexy, is usually a good idea.</p>. OT. Notre Dame. Ronnie Stanley. 6. player. 26
