Odafe (Jayson Oweh) — 1st Round Pick (31st overall), Baltimore Ravens

Despite not recording any sacks in the abbreviated 2020 season, thanks to his ridiculous pro day performance, Oweh was the Lions second first round pick to the Baltimore Ravens.

Usually, first-round picks are expected to see the field quite early, but Oweh was considered more a project draft pick.

It’s likely Baltimore will want him to get a full training camp (COVID-19 pending, of course) and learn from their current linebacking corps (Patrick Queen, Pernell McPee, Tyus Bower, L.J. Fort, etc.).

However, following the departure of Yannick Ngakoue during free agency, the door is wide open for Oweh to legitimately compete for one of the Ravens’ starting edge rusher jobs.
