2017 Nfl Mock Draft 7 Rounds Ravens
It’s NFL Draft season and as America’s top prospects take part in their respective pro days, the mock draft craze is heating up more than ever.
The Eagles have needs and the No.6 overall pick available as an asset or a tool to help rebuild an aging roster.
Ravens land Terrace Marshall Jr. And more in 7-round mock draft: With the 2020 NFL season coming to a close and the playoffs at our doorstep, here is a Baltimore Ravens seven round mock for the 2021 NFL Draft. Swinging big for the first trade in this 7-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft, the Eagles move up to get their guy at quarterback. I based this trade on the Jets’ maneuvering for pick No. 3 in the 2018 NFL Draft, where they inevitably picked Sam Darnold. A 7-round mock draft for the black birds. 2017 is poised to be a rebound year for the Baltimore Ravens. They have lost some key components to the team and are lacking talent in some key areas.
Chad Reuter of NFL.com just released a four-round mock draft and the Eagles landed two former Florida Gators in the process.
No. 6 overall: Kyle Pitts TE Florida

The trade of Carson Wentz might open the door to an early pick of a quarterback, but in this scenario, I’ll say GM Howie Roseman and new head coach Nick Sirianni will find a veteran free agent to compete with or complement 2020 second-round pick Jalen Hurts. The team has a need at the tight end position, as Zach Ertz is not expected to return and Dallas Goedert is a free agent after next season, but this could simply be a case of the Eagles picking the best available player. Pitts possesses the size, speed and insane catch radius to be a real force.
No. 37 overall: Aaron Robinson / CB / UCF

A former high school star from the state of Florida, Robinson initially chose to play for Alabama and Nick Saban as a highly touted recruit.
Robinson suddenly transferred from Alabama to UCF following the 2016 season and wasn’t eligible to play again until the 2018 season and didn’t see consistent game action until the 2019 season.
Robinson is a physical and aggressive cornerback in the mold of Asante Samuel Jr.
No. 70 overall: Kyle Trask QB Florida

2020 stats: 12 games, 4,283 yards, 43 touchdowns, eight interceptions, 68.9 completion percentage; 50 yards, three touchdowns.
A few red flags could knock Trask down anywhere from the late first round to the third round.
At 6-5, Trask has prototypical size for a passer, but his arm strength and ball placement could use some work.
No. 84 overall: Jordan Smith Edge UAB

Smith was a star at UAB and could turn into a game-wrecker in the mold of Brandon Graham, with his ability to be disruptive as a pass rusher and run stopper.
Let’s take a full dive into 2017 NFL mock draft scenarios for the Baltimore Ravens, using Fanspeak’s “On the Clock” draft simulator.
With projected compensatory picks added in for all teams, here’s a look at how our full seven-round mock draft ended up for the Ravens.
This year’s class is fairly deep at all three of the Ravens’ biggest positions of need, so they can really let the draft come to them. In this scenario, Wilson is a better value than what was on the board in terms of receivers and pass-rushers. His combination of size, physicality and ball skills could quickly make him a No. 1 cover man at the next level.

With the retirement of Steve Smith, the Ravens are losing an undersized but explosive and physical pass-catcher who can stretch the field. Thankfully, Henderson has a very similar skill set and is picking up steam as one of the more underrated receivers in this class. He’s got a solid frame despite being under six feet tall, and his film and production speaks for itself.
Finding an eventual successor for Terrell Suggs in this draft should be a top priority, and thanks to an extremely deep class of edge defenders, the Ravens just might find a starting-caliber player this late. Rivers killed the all-star circuit, showing both the size, athleticism and versatility to be worth a Day 2 pick.
Ronnie Stanley is locked in at the left tackle spot, but the Ravens need improvement just about everywhere else. If Ricky Wagner leaves in free agency, finding a replacement at right tackle becomes a huge need. Moton is a massive, powerful blocker who would be a perfect fit at that spot, or even inside at guard.
Corner isn’t the only spot in Baltimore that needs an infusion of young talent. Jerome is a small-school stud who, like Rivers, made the most of his opportunities to shine against top competition in this year’s all-star games. If he tests well at the Combine, he may not even last this long.
Injuries along the offensive line are inevitable, which makes quality depth a must. This year’s offensive line class isn’t great, but there are still some potential Day 3 bargains like Fuller, who had a solid week of practice at the Senior Bowl.
The Ravens have plenty of backs in the stable already, but injuries have held the unit back, which could send them looking for more depth in this year’s stacked class. Conner’s name is well known thanks to his triumph over cancer, and his success after returning to the field was nothing short of miraculous. His physical running style would be a great fit and worth the pick here.

You can never have too many young, talented defenders to rotate up front, and Hester is an interesting prospect. The 6-3, 300-pounder has racked up 31.5 sacks over his four years with the Rockets, including 13 sacks and four forced fumbles.
