2019 NFL Mock Draft: Defensive line rules at start of training camp
By Randy Gurzi
13. Baltimore Ravens: Parris Campbell, Ohio State, WR
It’s been a non-stop search for pass catchers in recent seasons for the Baltimore Ravens. They hit on a couple free agent pickups in Steve Smith and Mike Wallace. Both are gone now, but Wallace wasn’t the same last season anyway after Smith had retired.
They went a different direction with him gone and added former New Orleans Saints receiver Willie Snead and Michael Crabtree — most recently of the Oakland Raiders — in free agency. Both should be upgrades to not only Wallace but also a step up from Breshad Perriman, who was a bust of a first-round pick for them to this point in his career.
Baltimore also brought in some tight ends to open up the offense. In the first round, they added Hayden Hurst from South Carolina and then went for Mark Andrews from Oklahoma in the third. They add more pass catcher in this mock by taking Parris Campbell from Ohio State.
He’s more of a projection at this point since his best season was 2017 when he went for 584 yards. A lot of that is on the offense struggling as a whole and Campbell has explosive traits that could really open up the offense for Baltimore.
