Defensive Tackle. Alabama. Raekwon Davis. 19. player. 26.

The Baltimore Ravens will be rolling with Lamar Jackson as their starting quarterback in 2019, this after he played so well as a rookie that the team decided to part ways with veteran Joe Flacco. Jackson proved in 2018 that he can make plays happen with his feet, and his arm, but the organization has to be hoping he can take less shots in year No. 2.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Ravens once again added to an already solid defense, bringing in a guy like Earl Thomas at safety, and they should be one of the better units in football. When it comes time for the 2020 NFL Draft, they will either be a playoff team, or very close to it, so they should be picking in this range next April.

With the pick, Baltimore should look to add to their defense, bringing in an elite defensive tackle in Raekwon Davis. The Ravens had hoped that Brandon Williams would eventually be one of the more dominant defensive tackles in the game, but with his contract expiring in a few years, it may be time to turn the page.

Yetur Gross-Matos. 20. player. 44. . Edge. Penn State

The Atlanta Falcons are another one of those teams that are on the bubble in terms of the playoffs this upcoming season, as they definitely have the talent to make a run in the NFC South in 2019. Matt Ryan returns as the starting quarterback for the Falcons, and he has elite weapons in guys like Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley in the passing game.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Falcons have some decisions to make, especially up front heading into the 2020 NFL Draft. The team took Takkarist McKinley in the first round of the 2017, and he is still developing, but adding talent to the other side of the defensive line has to be a priority heading into next April.

There is a ton of edge rushing talent in this draft class, and Yetur Gross-Matos from Penn State is definitely someone who is in the discussion of being a top-20 pick. If the Falcons can add a player of his caliber, and McKinley continues to develop, with Vic Beasley finding his old magic, this is going to be a team with an elite pass rush in 2020.
