player. 26. <p>The Ravens are often a “best player available” team, and I think Raekwon McMillan fits that bill quite nicely. The caveat, though, is that he an inside linebacker.</p> <p>For me, there is nothing wrong with investing a pick in this range at this particular position, but many NFL teams simply won’t reach (at least in their mind) to fill this spot. Inside linebackers are devalued in many NFL schemes at this point, with an increased emphasis on edge rushers and defensive backs, but a player like McMillan brings the versatility and talent level to the table where he is still worthy of investment here.</p> <p>McMillan notched 119 sacks and four pass break-ups during the 2015 season at Ohio State, and even when playing alongside Darron Lee (a future NFL standout), McMillan looked the part. He stands at a stout 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, but McMillan has the speed to cause havoc and he is a very sure tackler in the middle of the field.</p> <p>Teams at the next level need players that can work sideline to sideline, and McMillan is the full package. Baltimore would be lucky to have him fall to this spot, and they are smart enough to pounce if he does.</p>. LB. Ohio State. Raekwon McMillan. 19
