Dave:
I’m fairly certain that the Baltimore Ravens will be looking for an offensive target, but the Pittsburgh Steelers removed Marqise Lee from the equation a few picks ago. In that case, I believe they add North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron at a great value pick. Ebron and newly re-signed Dennis Pitta create a two-TE threat for quarterback Joe Flacco to use at his liking, and he’s the player Ravens fans wished Ed Dickson was.

Giorgos:
The Baltimore Ravens could be in great need for an offensive tackle, but general manager Ozzie Newsome knows better than to reach for it in the draft. Even though Baltimore re-signed tight end Dennis Pitta, Eric Ebron would be a great pick at this point of the draft. He is still a bit raw, but his athleticism and speed make him stand out. He catches most passes thrown his way and can make defenders miss and gain yard after the catch. He needs to improve his route running and blocking technique, but both these things are coachable.
