Baltimore will not have to look far to find their newest pass rusher asYannick Ngakoueis a familiar name in the state of Maryland. He also happens to be a player that the Ravens could use at this point in the draft.
The Terps used a 3-4 defense for most of his collegiate career and accounted for 21.5 sacks in his three seasons at College Park. Ngakoue has the athletic ability to rush the quarterback, but can also drop into coverage. He is quick off the edge and has moves to get offensive linemen off balance, but can also bull rush tackles to collapse the pocket. He will struggle in the ground game, but any team that takes him is asking him to put pressure on the quarterback.
He can line up on either side of the defensive line which makes him a more intriguing prospect. The Ravens need help getting after the passer and that is where Ngakoue thrives.
Previous selection: BYU DE/OLB Bronson Kaufusi
Next: Fourth Round: No. 132
