Baltimore Ravens. D'Andre Swift. 29. player. 26. . Running Back

The Baltimore Ravens took on the New England Patriots in primetime in Week 9, as they played host to the Super Bowl champions inside their building on Sunday Night Football. With the Patriots going into M&T Bank Stadium undefeated, the Ravens dominated on both sides of the ball, easily handing the Patriots their first loss of the season.

One of the big reasons for the Ravens success this season as been the play of quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is making incredible strides in his first full season as the starter. He has been aided by some great play by the defense, and his running backs, led by free agent signing Mark Ingram.

While Ingram has been solid, the Ravens need a long-term answer at the running back position, and D’Andre Swift from Georgia may be too tough to pass up this late in round one. Swift has the ability to hurt defenses running the ball, and in the passing game, and you can never give a young quarterback too many weapons.

15. . Quarterback. New Orleans Saints. Jalen Hurts. 30. player

The New Orleans Saints are easily one of the best teams in football, and this could be Drew Brees’ best chance at getting his second Super Bowl ring. Brees had not played for weeks due to a broken thumb, but Teddy Bridgewater held down the fort incredibly, and may be a hot commodity in free agency this offseason.

It is unlikely the Saints are going to pay top dollar for two quarterbacks, and Bridgewater deserves the opportunity to start somewhere. If Bridgewater does decide to leave, the Saints may want to roll the dice on a quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft, and Jalen Hurts from Oklahoma has shown he can be a legitimate NFL quarterback this season.

Hurts has always been dangerous with his feet, but it has been his growth as a pocket passer that has been the most impressive this season. Sure, it took leaving Alabama for him to finally grow as a quarterback, but here we are, and he is on the doorstep of being a first round draft pick next April.
