Expert Commentary
Baltimore definitely has a need for a cornerback, but it took a bit of a project at the position at this point in the draft. Wiggins is a rangy, fast corner, but he needs to add weight and strength before he can be a real contributor for the Ravens defense.

Rosengarten is an elite mover at offensive line and has a lot of experience playing in college. This is probably an immediate starter at right tackle after Baltimore traded away Morgan Moses.
