The Ravens' second-round pick went to acquire Lamar Jackson last year, but they still found value with extra picks in Rounds 3 and 4. Brown and Boykin bring much-needed athleticism at wide receiver, while Ferguson should slide right in to help replace Terrell Suggs and Za'Darius Smith. Powers and Mack could each be starters with time. A solid haul all around. Best pick: He isn't a top athlete, but Ferguson fits perfectly in Baltimore. He has an advanced array of moves as a pass rusher and plays with physicality and heavy hands. Expect him to be moved around a lot -- like Suggs and Smith were -- and contribute early.
Upside pick: It's all about staying healthy for Brown. He has an extremely rare combination of speed and quickness, but he's also refined as a route-runner and is excellent attacking the ball in the air despite a lack of size. As long as Jackson can hit him, Brown will thrive when on the field.
