Cyrus Jones would be a great fit for the Ravens. He has improved dramatically at corner over his tenure at Alabama, turning into a full-time starter who had two interceptions for the Crimson Tide in 2015 and three in 2014. While Jones might not be a number one or number two corner in the NFL, it’s not difficult to see him being a productive nickel back.

But his play at corner isn’t all that Jones brings to the table. Cyrus Jones might be the most dynamic returner in the 2016 NFL Draft. Baltimore’s return game wasn’t that great last season and adding someone like Jones could help a team that prides itself in its special teams.

The Ravens list of outside linebackers who are edge rushers and know their role in the Baltimore system to accumulate stats is impressive. Adalius Thomas and Jarret Johnson are just two of them. Schobert is very similar to Johnson, who had a motor that allowed him to make plays.

Schobert is a versatile player, being able to be either an outside linebacker or a defensive end (though his size likely limits him to just linebacker). While Schubert’s frame is not ideal, he is a very competitive player and he has shown that he can perform in a variety of roles. He could also play in the middle, which is also an area of need after releasing Darryl Smith.
