In the 2019 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens will look to fill four key holes on the roster -- edge rusher, interior offensive line, linebacker and wide receiver. Here's my first seven-round (well, six-round, as the Ravens do not currently have a seventh-round pick) mock draft looking at the players Baltimore might consider with each round's pick.
Round 1, Pick 22
Might Be: Erik McCoy, G/C, Texas A&M
Could Be: Hakeem Butler, WR, Iowa State
Would Not Surprise Me: A.J. Brown, WR, Mississippi
The Pick: Garrett Bradbury, G/C, NC State
Round 3, Pick 85
Might Be: Ben Powers, IOL, Oklahoma
Could Be: Andy Isabella, WR, UMass

The Pick: JJ Arcega-Whiteside, WR, Stanford
Round 3, Pick 102
Might Be: KeeSean Johnson, WR, Fresno State
Could Be: Nate Davis, IOL, Charlotte
Would Not Surprise Me: Tytus Howard, OT, Alabama State
The Pick: Maxx Crosby, Eastern Michigan
Round 4, Pick 113
Might Be: Darius Slayton, WR, Auburn
Could Be: Justice Hill, RB, Oklahoma State
Would Not Surprise Me: Joe Jackson, Edge, Miami
The Pick: Jakobi Meyers, WR, NC State
Round 4, Pick 123

The Pick: Trayveon Williams, RB, Texas A&M
Round 6, Pick 191
Might Be: Mike Weber, RB, Penn State
Could Be: Malik Carney, Edge, North Carolina
Would Not Surprise Me: Penny Hart, WR, Georgia State
The Pick: Tre Watson, LB, Maryland
Round 6, Pick 193
Might Be: Bryce Love, RB, Stanford
Could Be: Jazz Ferguson, WR, Northwestern State
Would Not Surprise Me: Miles Boykin, WR, Notre Dame

Some Notes:
- Interior offensive line is not a deep position in this year’s draft, whereas wide receiver is.
- Running back is also a position that is deep but not top heavy. Late in the fourth and fifth rounds should be a nice spot to draft a running back if the Ravens go in that direction.
- Edge is another position that the Ravens figure to address but will need to do so with one of their first three picks, as the edge guys thin out quick after the third round.
- It is not a great year to need a linebacker, so unless the Ravens draft one in the first round, I think they wait until late to address that position.
