26. <p>The Ravens always seem to get a highly rated prospect to fall to them, in this case it’s Armstead. The de facto choice of the 49ers for most evaluators slips down to Baltimore at pick 26 where they snatch him up and restock a defensive line that has seen the departure of Chris Canty and Haloti Ngata this offseason.</p> <p>Armstead is considered very talented, but raw, I considered him at a number of other spots and he could go early if a coach thinks he can pull out his potential. Baltimore has a history of bringing out the best in it’s defensive prospects and allowing Armstead to grow alongside Timmy Jernigan on that defensive line seems like the perfect place for him.</p> <p>Ultimately, I don’t expect the Ravens to stay put, they’ll move up if they see someone they like slipping or move back a few spots if too many players have similar grades. I know wide receiver, has been a popular pick with the departure of Torrey Smith, but I like the Ravens to pass on the position in round one and <a href=. DE. Oregon. Arik Armstead. 26. player
