Ravens 7-round mock draft after Orlando Brown Jr. trade

Since Baltimore gave up their second-round pick in the Orlando Brown Jr. trade, they have to wait until the end of the third-round and the pick via the Chiefs to address their next need. That should be the spot when they start to look for a long-term replacement at offensive tackle as Villanueva is likely a stopgap option who will be fine but won’t be around for many years.

James Hudson would be the perfect type of prospect to fill that role. The Cincinnati standout has a terrific frame and athleticism for the position, meaning he has the traits to be a high-end offensive tackle. He’s still clearly learning the position and shouldn’t be starting right away as he gets coached up but his upside is abundant if the Ravens are able to properly develop him and ultimately pair him with Stanley as a formidable tackle duo.

In a very similar vein as the edge-rusher room, the safety room in Baltimore has undergone some big changes. As of right now, they would be set to start Chuck Clark and DeShon Elliott at strong and free safety, respectively. That’s not a bad combination by any stretch but it’s limited by the lack of depth behind them. So with a compensatory pick at the end of the third round, they address that with Andre Cisco.

If you only watched highlights, you would think that Cisco should be a first-round pick. He was seemingly always making big plays on the ball for the Orange throughout his college career and his ball skills are undeniable. That said, he can be a bit over-aggressive and reckless in trying to attack the ball, which gets him beat at times. However, you would rather have a player you need to rein in than a player you have to coach up. So, with Cisco’s talent, Baltimore could score big here.
