Ravens' Draft Picks: Running Backs to Watch

0:00It's April 23rd. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and Ready for Kickoff. The Ravens need a real successor to Derek Henry, but this draft class ain't stacked a running back. Top talents will go quick to needy teams, so Baltimore might wait till day 3 for a project guy. Baltimore beat down ranks Notre Dame's Jeremiah Love No. 1 overall for them, at No. 13 on the Big Board, with his teammate, Jadarian Price, right behind at No. 57. Price ran efficient as the back up in South Bend, dodging tackles and staying upright through hits. He could shine on special teams too, though his passing game experience is light. Then there's Jonah Coleman from Washington, at No. 92, and Nebraska's Emma Johnson, at No. 108. Johnson stands out with solid pass catching chops, hauling in 85 balls for 656 yards over two years. His quick burst and agility help, but he lacks top in speed and sometimes struggles finding lanes. Fans and scouts see these mids as high upside fits for Ravens' backfill needing depth.

1:05Mike Washington Jr. from Arkansas jumped boards after a killer combine, clocking 4.33 in the 40 at 223 pounds. He's strong in short yardage, but needs work as a receiver and blocker. Lower down, Kentucky's Seth McGowan at No. 138 and Wake Forest's Demon Clayborn at No. No. 152. Offer late. Value. Penn State's duo, K-Tron Allen at No. 161 and Nick Singleton at No. 166 bring athleticism and returns, skills, but don't need to refine their profile. Raven's brass could snag one without reaching, building for the long haul.
