With the twenty-fifth pick in the 2010 Cincy Jungle Mock Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select...
Jared Odrick, DE, Penn State
At 25, Jared Odrick is too hard to pass up. With the Ravens losing Defensive Tackles Justin Bannan and Dwan Edwards, Baltimore would love to get a versatile player like Odrick. Because of his great physical build, he could play any position in the Ravens 3-4 defense depending on the down and yardage. Would be best suited backing up for left end Trevor Pryce for the year and eventually taking over that spot.
As much as people may say Baltimore needs to improve the secondary, the pass rush was a main reason for some of the Ravens problems last year with deep balls. Finishing the year in the bottom half of the league in sacks is not what a defense as relentless as the Ravens do often. Odrick pairing with Ngata and Suggs makes an elite pass rush squad once again in Baltimore.
