The Baltimore Ravens are in the midst of another playoff run, but with this mock, they might just have the pieces to be considered a dominating front-runner in next year's quest for the Lombardi Trophy.

1st Round: CB Jalen Collins, LSU

Lardarius Webb counts $ 12 million against the cap in 2015 -- an extremely high price for a injury-prone player. The Ravens don’t have great depth at cornerback either, so Collins would make a ton of sense. He’s a big, physical player with good coverage speed and would make for a formidable starting duo with Jimmy Smith.

2nd Round: WR Ty Montgomery, Stanford

Steve Smith is going to slow down eventually, and taking Ty Montgomery here would ease the effect on quarterback Joe Flacco. He’s a solid deep threat who pairs well with Torrey Smith, finally giving the Ravens some stability that they’ve missed since trading Anquan Boldin away.

3rd Round: TE/WR Devin Funchess, Michigan

Devin Funchess’ stock is going to take a hit since he moved out to wide receiver full time, but as a tight end, Funchess could make a huge impact. He would bring a versatility to offense that isn’t there now, and if Dennis Pitta can stay healthy, the Ravens could wreak havoc in the middle of the field.

4th Round: RB Javorius Allen, USC

With a journeyman in Justin Forsett and a back in Bernard Pierce that doesn’t seem to be wowing anyone, drafting Javorius Allen would help solidify the backfield. Allen is a strong, physical back who would fit well in Gary Kubiak’s zone rushing scheme; he also has the durability and feature back potential no Ravens back really has now. This move would keep Forsett fresh and give the Ravens a potentially strong 1-2 punch.

6th Round: OT John Theus, Georgia

John Theus is an excellent run blocking tackle, but will need work on his pass protection. Backup depth behind Jeremy Hurst is a problem, as star guard Marshall Yanda is listed as the backup. Theus would provide some depth at both positions actually, as he could potentially play both right tackle and guard.

7th Round: OLB Dadi Nicolas, Virginia Tech

7th Round: OLB Dadi Nicolas, Virginia Tech

Dadi Nicolas would be a definite project pick here. While he has fantastic speed for his size (6-foot-4, 231 pounds), he’s also noticeably undersized for the position. But with a year of packing on muscle and fine-tuning his game on the practice squad, Nicolas has enough upside to where he could become a late-round gem.
