2021 NFL Draft: Baltimore Ravens 7-round mock
Marquise Brown gives the Ravens a speedy wide receiver capable of producing big plays, but the lack of a bigger option on the outside was an issue for the offense in 2020. Marshall may not be the biggest name coming out of LSU in this class, but Baltimore would do well to nab the talented 6-foot-3 wideout in Round 2.
Marshall’s versatility makes him a particularly intriguing talent to add to the Ravens’ mix. He showed the ability to produce at a high level in both the slot and on the outside during his collegiate career. Add in the fact that he’s also a willing blocker out on the edge and it’s easy to understand why Baltimore would be interested in his services.
The biggest reason why he’s going to be available on Day 2 is that he’s always been on the field with elite talent at LSU. It was tough for him to shine alongside the likes of Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase in 2019. The team’s quarterback struggles in 2020 muted his production. He’s got a strong chance to develop into an above-average starter if he lands in the right system.
Marshall may not wow NFL scouts with his speed, but he is a playmaker with the ball in his hands. The Ravens need a big receiver to help keep the chains moving and he fits the bill to perfection.
