Derrius Guice

Running Back, LSU

The Baltimore Ravens looked so good through the first two weeks of the season that many believed they were a favorite in the AFC. However, all of those good feelings went out the window in Week 3, as they were destroyed by the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. They desperately need help on the offensive side of the ball, and that certainly means bringing in a running back for next season.

Baltimore has been trying to make due with what they have, but they need that explosive running back they have been missing for quite some time. Outside of Saquon Barkley, there is no better back in college football than Derrius Guice, who led the SEC in rushing last season. Guice is the complete package at the position, and would fit in perfect with what the Ravens do on the offensive side of the ball.

Like Barkley, Guice can beat you in so many ways, and has an incredible motor from the running back position. He can catch the ball well, and has that uncanny ability to run past, or over the defender. His counterpart from last season, Leonard Fournette went in the first round in 2017, and Guice should follow him as a first-round pick next April.
