1. Tim Williams – OLB, Alabama

The Baltimore Ravens select a linebacker out of Alabama, stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

While yes, it would be a predictable move for Ozzie Newsome, it might be one of the best available.

Williams is explosive to say the least. He’s an excellent pass rusher who can put some major pressure on the quarterback, and he’s also a good quality run defender. He’d be an excellent 3-4 outer linebacker in the same vein as players like Terrell Suggs.

While Williams has had a few off the field issues, including an arrest for carrying a pistol without a permit, there’s no denying his talent, and he’s a player that the Ravens should absolutely be looking to target if falls to them at the 16th pick.

Next: Ravens announce Marty Mornhinweg to stay

If the Ravens are smart and pick well in the NFL Draft, they could fill some major holes in the team and get right back into playoff contending form. Any of these five players would be excellent additions to the team and could make a major impact.
