Hill is a..."Baltimore Beatdown staff¡¯s instant reactions to the Ravens 2019 Draft Day 3 selections:Justice Hill, Running Back, Oklahoma StateDeCosta adds another exciting playmaker on offense. Hill is a shifty, aggressive runner with breakaway speed. His skillset rounds out the Ravens running back committee perfectly. - Vasilis LericosJustice Hill was the most productive RB in the Big-12. His jump cutting ability allows him to change direction and fly through holes. He was the combine¡¯s most impressive RB. Hill¡¯s receiving ability will allow him to split out wide. He can also factor in the return game. This pick makes a ton of sense, and he will most certainly join the 4x100 team of Lamar Jackson, Hollywood Brown and Miles Boykin. Speed kills, and the Ravens are becoming the grim reaper. - Spencer SchultzHill was personally one of my favorite running backs in the draft. He¡¯s the exact type of back the Ravens were looking for. Hill has legit home-run ability with game-breaking speed and he¡¯s an adept receiver out of the backfield. He¡¯ll add a new element to the Ravens backfield. - Frank J. PlatkoDeCosta added yet another offensive skill player in running back Justice Hill. Hill brings even more speed to the offense with a 4.4 40-yard dash. Hill will complement a running back room that was filled with power backs. He could find his way onto the field a considerable amount as a rookie. This is yet another sold pick by DeCosta. - Dustin CoxVasilis hit it right on the nose during the Baltimore Beatdown podcast when he mentioned the Ravens may build a track team around QB Lamar Jackson. On any given play, a scoring threat will always be on the field. Defenses will be forced to stay back in coverage due to the speed and explosiveness, allowing Lamar Jackson to find easier passes due to separation, or take off for huge gains. This flock looks ready to fly into the endzone. - Kyle P. BarberBen Powers, Guard, OklahomaThe Oklahoma to Baltimore pipeline continues. An experienced, accomplished blocker, Powers brings a nasty disposition to the field. Not the most athletic lineman, he is a powerful and technically sound mauler. With improvement, Powers should compete with James Hurst, Alex Lewis and Bradley Bozeman for a starting job at left guard. - Vasilis LericosBen Powers is a capable starter at left guard. He is an outstanding pass protector, but needs to toughen up in the run game a bit. Oklahoma has now surpassed Alabama as the Ravens official pipeline. Tony Jefferson, Mark Andrews, Hollywood Brown and Orlando Brown Jr. get another Sooner. Powers will challenge incumbent starter Alex Lewis for snaps. - Spencer SchultzDeCosta takes yet another Sooner player in guard Ben Powers. Powers will enter the competition for the starting left guard position. DeCosta is loading up on offense for his young quarterback, which is a welcomed change for the organization. - Dustin CoxPowers pass protection is supposed to be a strength which will very much help Lamar Jackson¡¯s progress this season. Similar to Pittsburgh with day two receivers, I implicitly trust the Ravens when it comes to mid round O-Lineman. Powers cuts the figure of a guy who¡¯s physical traits alone guarantee some time on the field, and the Ravens have shown an ability to coach up line players in the past. Another solid choice in round 4.- Jacob LouqueGetting Ben Powers here in the fourth round is a nice find. Michael Jordan also would have been a desirable option, but the Oklahoma connection is real. Powers can challenge for a starting spot immediately and at the very least, he¡¯ll be a quality depth piece. Really solid in pass protection. Boomer Sooner. - Frank J. PlatkoGoing out and finding a tough SOB who loves to battle in the trenches is a solid move, here. If they have the spirit and heart to go out and fight Youth Patrick Onwuasor Jersey , they¡¯re a Raven. It only helps that Ben is another Oklahoma Sooner, which builds camaraderie early in the locker room as he joins Orlando Brown Jr., Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown. - Kyle P. BarberIman Marshall, Defensive Back, Southern CaliforniaMarshall is a former bluechip recruit who starred for four seasons on the Trojans defense. A long, physical corner at the collegiate level, Iman could transition to safety in the the pros due to his willingness to tackle and his instincts in coverage. This was a nice value selection for Baltimore. In 2019, Marshall will push recently drafted players at several spots in the defensive backfield. - Vasilis LericosIman Marshall is a scheme fit for the Ravens, who love long press corners. He was highly touted coming out of high school, and allows the Ravens to have leave training camp with injury insurance. The fight between Marshal, Maurice Canady and Anthony Averett for the final CB roster spots will be one of the highlights of training camp. - Spencer SchultzMarshall is a big, physical cornerback with ideal size for press coverage. I¡¯m not sure if the Ravens could have landed him later in the draft, but I trust DeCosta¡¯s judgement. Not overly ecstatic with this pick given the other players available, such as D¡¯Andre Walker and Mack Wilson, whom I think would have been better selections. Marshall does add some competition to the cornerback position and could be insurance if Jimmy Smith and/or Brandon Carr are gone next year. - Frank J. PlatkoAfter watching this team lose a full roster¡¯s worth of cornerbacks years ago, I¡¯m all aboard the, ¡°Never can have enough corners,¡± train. Marshall sounds a bit raw but his size is something to be excited about. I don¡¯t expect him to usurp Jimmy, Marlon or Tavon in year one, but he can be developed for the future. I¡¯m okay with this pick. - Kyle P. BarberDaylon Mack, Defensive Tackle, Texas A&MA typical wide-bodied run plugger, Mack can also push the pocket on occasion. Throughout this draft, the Ravens front office has struck a balance, alternating between prospects full of upside and proven, safe players. Mack falls into the latter category, but even at a non-premium position White Za¡¯Darius Smith Jersey , his pedigree makes this selection a value pick. - Vasilis LericosDaylon Mack was a one-year starter at DT for TAMU. He was one of the more efficient DT at creating interior pressure on passing downs. This pick figures to have Ozzie Newsome¡¯s fingerprints all over it. I can¡¯t remember the last time the Ravens didn¡¯t add to the defensive line in an NFL draft, and that remains the trend. - Spencer SchultzThe Ravens have drafted a defensive lineman in each draft since 2008. It makes sense, too, as they battle in a rough-and-tough AFC North division which pays close attention to the trenches. Mack was underwhelming for TAMU until they changed the coaching staff before his senior season, and then he doubled his tackles for loss from 5.0 to 10.0, including 5.5 sacks. With defensive line coach Joe Cullen, expect Mack to develop into a solid rotational player or greater. - Kyle P. BarberMy initial reaction was ¡°who?¡±, but after doing some more digging into the player, not a bad pick at all. Daylon Mack is a physical beast, much like Brandon Williams and Michael Pierce. A productive senior season hints his overall body of work in college, which left much to be desired, is misleading. Mack could be a nice diamond in the rough find with this pick. - Frank J. PlatkoTrace McSorely, Quarterback, Penn StateA decorated and productive prospect, McSorely should be a valuable backup to Lamar Jackson in the Ravens scheme. Mediocre arm talent is offset by his ability to pick up yards with his legs. A logical selection for this offense and depth chart. - Vasilis Lericos Trace McSorley is the winningest QB in Penn State¡¯s illustrious history. He is a high character person, and will play like a Raven. Where he plays, though, will be the more interesting storyline. McSorleys 4.12 short shuttle and 7.09 3-cone drill suggest he has the feet of a slot receiver. Roman should have some fun with this one. RG3, McSorley and Lamar could all be on the field at the same time this season. - Spencer SchultzBaltimore finds a way to grab a guy who may in fact see the field this season in round 6. McSorley in all likelihood won¡¯t be a franchise QB for anyone, but his athleticism ensures he¡¯ll make a team somehow, and he¡¯s tailor made for this one. He¡¯s a competitor and a winner from a big program, which is something Baltimore loves in their draft picks, and while he¡¯s being groomed to become Lamar Jackson¡¯s eventual backup, he¡¯ll likely see some time in spots a-la Taysom Hill. - Jacob LouqueThis is an athlete pick and testing if the Ravens can find a spot for McSorley on the roster. He ran a 4.57 second 40-yard dash and he is a smart player. We¡¯ll see if McSorley can battle hard enough to win a coveted roster spot, but it will be interesting to see if a backup quarterback spot emerges in training camp. - Kyle P. BarberThe Ravens continue to transform their offense with the addition of Trace McSorley. The former Nittany Lion won¡¯t see the field at quarterback next season but could be used sparingly as a gadget-player, much like Taysom Hill in New Olreans. No harm in taking a flier on him with their final pick of the draft. - Frank J. Platko The goals were to let the backups play and learn, and to be inspired.Missions accomplished.The Ravens and Bears honored their great linebackers Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher with some defense to make them proud in the Hall of Fame game that opened the NFL's preseason Thursday night. Baltimore held on 17-16."Ray is the greatest linebacker of our time Za¡¯Darius Smith Jersey 2019 ," said 2016 Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson, who quarterbacked the second half for the Ravens. "That was a big thrill and exciting stuff."Oh, there was a little spark of offense, some provided by Baltimore's first-round draft pick. Jackson's 7-yard touchdown pass to fellow first-rounder Hayden Hurst came after the Ravens' defense recovered a fumble.Chicago put together its best drive in the final minutes and journeyman Tyler Bray connected with Tanner Gentry for a 10-yard score to cap a 92-yard march. But the 2-point conversion pass fell incomplete.Otherwise, D was the letter of the day: there were six turnovers in all, and 12 sacks, eight by the Bears."To represent Ray in this game to our guys meant even more," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said."It was a special moment for our organization," noted new Bears coach Matt Nagy.The teams exchanged tipped interceptions on the first two possessions of the preseason.Chicago moved swiftly downfield only to have Chase Daniel's pass to Josh Bellamy deflected to safety Chuck Clark at the Baltimore 6. He returned it 15 yards, then the Ravens replicated the turnover.Robert Griffin III, attempting a comeback after sitting out 2017, had his pinpoint throw go off the hands of receiver Breshad Perriman, then off rookie cornerback Michael Joseph. DeAndre Houston-Carson dived to make the pick at the Ravens 34.The Bears soon converted when Michael Burton caught a 4-yard scoring pass from Daniel.Baltimore tied it, sparked by two big gainers by undrafted rookie running back Gus Edwards. Griffin found Maxx Williams for a 4-yard score."It felt great," Griffin said. "I can't tell you how grateful I am to play the game again."Then Lewis' old unit gave him a thrill. On the next play from scrimmage, linebacker Kamalei Correa sped 19 yards with an interception to the Chicago 9. But Urlacher's former defense made him smile, sacking Griffin on third down to hold Baltimore to a 31-yard field goal by Kaare Vedvik.Generally, it was a sloppy affair among backups marred by a slew of dropped passes, poor protection for the quarterbacks, and misthrows by those QBs.But something Lewis and Urlacher would approve, the defenses hit hard and tackled well.NEW COACH, OFFENSENagy, of late the offensive coordinator in Kansas City, made his head coaching debut with the Bears. He has said his new offense is in the early steps of development, and it looked that way all night.Of course, with backups playing it's nearly impossible to gauge progress. But he was optimistic."The arrow is pointing up for us," he said. "We definitely took steps in the right direction."INTROSEach of the seven inductees to the hall who were on hand ¡ª Terrell Owens is a well-publicized no-show ¡ª received a rousing ovation when they were introduced before the game. Lewis replicated his patented warmup dance for a few seconds White Marlon Humphrey Jersey , and Urlacher slapped hand with every Bears player lined up on the 45-yard line."Ray was on the field getting all fired up, doing his thing," Harbaugh said. "With both teams at the 45, I thought that was awesome, and then to see Ray come out, that was spectacular."Urlacher gave a pregame pep talk to the Bears in the locker room."It's so funny to see," veteran defensive lineman Akiem Hicks said. "Growing up, you've watched these guys, and you're one of the guys now who people come up and ask for pictures and autographs. Then you see Urlacher come into the locker room and you get to see all these NFL football players turn into kids ..."It's a phenomenal feeling."Also walking along midfield between the lines of Ravens and Bears were Randy Moss, Brian Dawkins, Jerry Kramer, Robert Brazile and Bobby Beathard.Owens did make it onto the cover of the Hall of Fame enshrinement magazine, however.At halftime, Hall of Famers Ozzie Newsome, the general manager of the Ravens, and Dan Fouts received their "Rings of Excellence" from David Baker, the hall's president.HELMET RULEThe first application of the NFL's enhanced enforcement of penalties for players lowering their helmet to make a tackle occurred early. Ravens linebacker Patrick Onwuasor was flagged for his hit on Benny Cunningham, earning a 15-yard penalty that helped set up Chicago's first touchdown.Correa got nailed for the same violation in the third quarter, but he also had a sack that forced a fumble in that period, and three sacks overall."It was great to see him break out," Harbaugh said of Correa's overall performance. "His work ethic and attention to detail, to see it pay off like that, a coach loves to see it."NEXT UPBears: At Cincinnati next Thursday night.Ravens: Host Los Angeles Rams next Thursday night.__
