2017 NFL Mock Draft: Baltimore Ravens Select DE Taco Charlton at No. 16

With the 16th pick in the 2017 DBN Community NFL Mock Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select...

Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan

The selection and write-up were made by Suppa Bob:

Looking at the team needs and the remaining talent I decided to go with Taco because I usually think with my stomach anyway. He plays for TTUN so I hate him thus making it easier for me to choose for the dumpster ducks. He does fill a need for an edge rusher and the Ravens are not getting any younger at that position. I did look at wideout as well as right tackle but settled on what I thought was BPA for position of need.

Pokorny: I must admit that for some reason, Charlton is one of the draft prospects who I don’t know much about other than his name. The Ravens' wide receiver group is thinner after Steve Smith's retirement, but it's probably wise of them to give Breshad Perriman a better chance to step up before they invest in another first-round receiver. I might have targeted the best offensive lineman here, but I understand getting younger on defense as that has been an issue in Baltimore.
