Baltimore Ravens: Grading every 2020 NFL Draft pick

Round 3, Pick 71:  Justin Madubuike, DT, Texas A&M

Grade: B

Really thought they’d take a wide receiver here. Still, somehow the Ravens lucked into a great player while the rest of the league proved their inability to recognize great talent. DeCosta once again went best player available. While defensive tackle wasn’t a need, they got a good one in Justin Madubuike.

The 6-3, 293-pound tackle provides the Ravens with a versatile asset. He doesn’t have great length but his hand quickness helps him stay clean. His first step is explosive and he knows how to get skinny. Madubuike played the zero and one technique for the Aggies and he’s excellent at stuffing the run. He’ll likely line up all over the defensive line for the Ravens.

Round 3, Pick 92: Devin Duvernay, WR, Texas

Grade: B

The Ravens had to take a wide receiver at some point. I was hoping for a big-body boundary guy. However, Devin Duvernay fits the mold of guys the Ravens had on their roster in the past. He’s well-built with a solid frame that resembles a running back at 5-10, 200 pounds. Once the ball’s in his hand, he’s a tenacious runner who doesn’t shy away from contact.

Despite running a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, Duvernay doesn’t have the downfield ball-skills to warrant him being a deep threat. He’s a straight-line runner who’ll benefit from the catch and run offense employed by the Ravens. Can he play the boundary or is he another slot receiver? Time will tell
