2018 NFL Draft: Full Round 1 mock to celebrate New Year’s Day
By Peter Panacy
The Baltimore Ravens can’t believe LSU running back Derrius Guice fell this far in the NFL Draft and right into their laps.
Passing on Guice would be silly, although one could argue wide receiver should be a bigger priority. Nevertheless, Guice is a game-changer for Baltimore’s offense.
Nothing against their current starting running back, Alex Collins, but he’s not built to be a true three-down tailback. And Guice would probably be a more explosive player anyway.
Adding Guice to the mix would help set the Ravens up to be one of those run-first, defense-heavy teams we associate with Baltimore squads from the last two decades. And that might be the best way for this team to compete in the AFC North, as Guice leads the way on offense.
