The Baltimore Ravens head into 2018 with some unfinished business, as they barely missed out on the playoffs last season. In fact, they only needed to win their game at home in Week 17 to clinch a Wild Card, but they were destroyed by division rival Cincinnati. With their first round pick at the end of the month, Baltimore should look to add a running back, and Derrius Guice should be available at No. 16 overall.

Guice is a beast of a running back, and would be the best in this class had it not been for Saquon Barkley. Like Barkley, he is a three-down back, and can be productive in the run, or passing game. The Ravens did not have many weapons on offense last season, so bringing in a guy like Guice to the fold make a lot of sense near the middle of round one.

Quarterback Joe Flacco is still a serviceable option at the position, so I do not think the team will trade up to get a signal-caller. Their defense is also still a very solid unit, and they should be able to challenge for a Wild Card spot next season. Guice brings something to their offense they have not had in a long time, and with the addition of Michael Crabtree, the Ravens offense just may be a bit explosive in 2018.
