The Ravens will now have 12 picks in the NFL Draft after receiving four compensatory picks, one each during the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds. The extra picks can't be traded, but they do give the Ravens the second-most picks in the draft and the ability to move their other picks around should they so choose. I have updated my Ravens mock draft to include these picks below. I doubt the Ravens will make all 12 picks, but here is what their draft could look like if they did. This was before the Dumervil signing but this would not change the picks much...

Round 1 (Pick No. 32)

Pick: Arthur Brown, OLB, KSU
Could Be: Jonathan Cyprien, S, FIU
Might Be: Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU

Round 2 (Pick No. 30)

Pick: D.J. Swearinger, S, South Carolina
Could Be: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
Might Be: Jamie Collins, OLB, Southern Miss

Round 3 (Pick No. 32)

Pick: Jon Bostic, ILB, Florida
Could Be: Kiko Alonso, ILB, Oregon
Might Be: Jordan Mills, OT, Louisiana Tech

Round 4 (Pick No. 32)

Pick: Chris Harper, WR, KSU
Could Be: Tony Jefferson, FS, Oklahoma
Might Be: Duke Williams, S, Nevada

Round 4 (Comp Pick)

Pick: Khaled Holmes, C, USC
Could Be: Kevin Reddick, ILB, UNC
Might Be: Ace Sanders, WR, South Carolina

Round 5 (Pick No. 32)

Pick: Xavier Nixon, OT, Florida
Could Be: Devonte Holloman, OLB, South Carolina
Might Be: Hugh Thorton, G, Illinois

Round 5 (Comp Pick)

Pick: Rontez Miles, S, Cal (PA)
Could Be: David Bass, DE, Missouri Western St

Round 6 (Pick No. 31)

Pick: Quanterus Smith, DE, Western Kentucky
Could Be: Micah Hyde, CB, Iowa

Round 6 (Pick No. 32)

Pick: Vince Williams, ILB, FSU
Could Be: T.J. Barnes, DT, GT

Round 6 (Comp Pick)

Pick: Braden Brown, OT/G, BYU
Could Be: Vernon Kearney, CB, Lane
Might Be: Matt Stankiewitch, C, Penn State

Round 7 (Pick No. 32)

Pick: Courtney Gardner, WR, Sierra College
Could Be: Marcus Davis, WR, VT

Round 7 (Comp Pick)

Pick: Luke Wilson, TE, Rice
Could Be: Sean Refree, Duke, QB

During the first round I still have Arthur Brown as the Ravens' pick, but Kevin Minter is another name to keep in mind. Minter is from LSU, is 6 feet tall and weighs 246 pounds. At LSU, he showed great anticipation and blitz abilities, but is not exactly a hitter. A sure-handed tackler, he sometimes lacks the physicality some teams like in the middle. Scouts have compared him with Eagles linebacker DeMeco Ryans.

Mockone.net Draft

One scout didn't like my #MockTwo draft for the Ravens on Mockone.net. But, never discouraged, we went on to the War Room version for #MockThree. Here was the tally.

Note: Draft occurred before free agency and compensatory picks. All grades were assigned as if free agency hadn't occurred yet.

Round 1 (Pick No. 32, 32nd overall)
Choice: Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M

Round 2 (Pick No. 32, 62nd overall)
Choice: Kyle Long, OT, Oregon

Round 3 (Pick No. 32, 94th overall)
Choice: Kiko Alonso, ILB, Oregon

Round 4 (Pick No. 32, 126th overall)
Choice: Duke Williams, S, Nevada

Round 5 (Pick No. 32, 158th overall)
Choice: Ace Sanders, WR, South Carolina

Round 6 (Pick No. 32, 190th overall)
Choice: Khaled Holmes, C, Southern California

Round 7 (Pick No. 32, 222nd overall)
Choice: Rontez Miles, S, California (Pa.)

Analysis from Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout)

Damontre Moore just seems like a Baltimore Ravens' type of pick, and by holding tight at pick No. 32 the team got a potential steal from Round 1. The back-to-back Oregon picks of Kyle Long and Kiko Alonso are two selections I really liked. Long can play guard or tackle and is a potential starter at left guard in this offense. Alonso is an athletic freak who can play inside linebacker in a 34 or 43 set. Duke Williams' coverage skills make him a potential starter at free safety in Round 4 and fills a big need for speed and depth in an aging secondary. Ace Sanders feels like a reach in Round 5, but adding speed to this roster is a need. He probably could have been had a full round later. Picking up depth at center and safety to close out the draft help with the many needs of this aging roster. The money picks in Rounds 1, 2 and 3 really set the tempo for an all-around solid Baltimore draft.

Grade: B

It was a solid draft overall, which this scout liked. Onward to #MockFour at Mockone.net, and I am once again in the War Room, so follow along. So far here is what we have done...a few trades:

Pick Overall Choice Notes
1.22 22 Keenan Allen, WR from California

We opted to move up 10 spots to secure our top offensive player available. Keenan Allen is our top receiver in the draft and he can be plugged in right away next to Torrey Smith. The all-around talent could become Joe Flacco's favorite target.

2.32 62 John Jenkins, DT from Georgia

We needed to fortify the defensive line, and Jenkins is a solid pick here. He can provide depth, and be an eventual replacement to Terrence Cody, who has underachieved so far in his career.

4.15 109 T.J. McDonald, S from Southern California

Targeting both safety positions was one of the main goals entering the draft for the Ravens. That process has begun with the selection of McDonald. The lengthy, versatile safety could ideally play either safety position, but projects as a free safety and can be a starter.


4.29 123 Jon Bostic, ILB from Florida

Having Bostic available here is an ideal scenario. With two starting vacancies at inside linebacker on the Ravens, Bostic can come in and be a starter. He's a talented all-around defender who helped lead the Florida Gators defense last season.

The NFL Draft is now only 33 days away. A new first-round mock draft will be out next week.
