Round 7 – Pick 11: JJ Taylor, Running Back, Arizona
You may be thinking to yourself, another running back? With already a great stable of backs, the Ravens are already super well off in this department, but they can never have too many ball carriers in the backfield in this offense.
JJ Taylor is tiny at 5-foot-6 and 180 pounds, but plays with much more size. He isn’t afraid to go right at defenders when running inside and can make tacklers miss on the outside.
Taylor is a great receiver out of the backfield, doing most of his damage on wheel routes and in the flat. He has great quickness that may be able to be used in the return game. I see a lot of Tarik Cohen in JJ Taylor, a skill-set the Ravens would welcome.
