6. Baltimore Ravens: Vernon Hargreaves, CB, Florida

Hargreaves is a little smaller than most teams would prefer (5’10”, 204), but he plays (and talks) much bigger than his measurables indicate.

The Ravens could use depth at cornerback and Hargreaves would be able to provide that. He’s a quick, smart corner with lockdown potential. What he lacks in size, he makes up for with leaping ability and precision. Hargreaves is a ball hawk and, for a team with only six interceptions in 2015, that is a much needed asset currently missing from the Baltimore defense.

Cornerback isn’t the Ravens’ biggest need, but Hargreaves is a good enough to make that notion obsolete if he is available.
