Ravens Draft UConn DT Travis Jones in Third Round

In the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Ravens drafted Travis Jones, DT from the University of Connecticut 76th overall.

RSR staff react to the pick here…

This is a player I would have been happy with in the second round. They have really addressed the defense with a lot of upside and Jones is a player who can create up-the-middle pressure, which is tough to find.  He had a big Senior Bowl week.

Getting Travis Jones here is just ridiculous value. The defensive line is shaping up to be physical and strong, and the Ravens are well-positioned to fill some of their holes at receiver, corner, OT and LB tomorrow still. Are the Ravens positioning themselves best to compete next year for a championship? I’m not sure. But they are definitely compiling good talent at great value. Let’s see what comes tomorrow.

Mel Kiper on ESPN just after the pick: “If he would’ve gone to Ohio State, Michigan…he would’ve been a top 10, top 15, top 20 pick.”

Good enough for me. Sounds like more crazy value.
