EDGE. UCLA. Takkarist McKinley. 16. player. 26.

The Baltimore Ravens could use some help in the pass rush this offseason, and thankfully this year’s NFL Draft class is deep off the edge.

UCLA’s Takkarist McKinley could be used as a traditional 4-3 defensive end or as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 front. He’s probably more of a situational pass-rusher off the edge, since he’s not overly terrific against the run.

But the Ravens don’t need a bunch of help there. They need pass-rushers.

McKinley supplies that.
