Ravens named as landing spot for sleeper Texas RB prospect by Bleacher Report

The Baltimore Ravens currently have five picks in the 2023 NFL draft, and will have an opportunity to improve their roster with the selections that they make. The team has a few roster holes that they will need to fill, and can make their offense and defense even better than they already are.

When naming landing spots for some of the sleeper options at running back in the 2023 class, Matt Holder of Bleacher Report named Baltimore as an option for a Texas running back in Roschon Johnson. The former Texas star in an intruiging option, and Holder says he should be in the Ravens’ range with a mid-round pick.

“Monken was complimentary of the Ravens’ ground game during his introductory press conference, so he might keep some of the gap-centric runs the team used under former offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Baltimore also has a strong offensive line that could mitigate some of Johnson’s weaknesses, most notably his inability to sift through the trash in the backfield…The Ravens hold the 86th and 124th overall picks in the draft, and Johnson ranks 90th overall with a fourth-round grade on B/R’s latest big board. He should be in Baltimore’s range with a middle-round pick.”
