EDTShareTweetShareShareWith the draft concluded, signing Ezekiel Ansah should now be the Ravens top priority Tim Fuller-USA TODAY SportsThe Ravens brought in free agent pass-rusher Ezekiel Ansah for a visit last week and while nothing seems to have materialized out of it, finding a way to sign him should be a huge focus over the next several weeks. One of the bigger surprises of Baltimore’s draft, to me at least, was that they only added one edge rusher. As much as I like Jaylon Ferguson and what he brings to the table, I think most people expected Eric DeCosta to double-up on edge guys. He had the chance to do so in rounds 4-6 with several names still on the board, but ultimately opted not to. While Ferguson should make an immediate impact next year, he’s still yet to prove himself at the NFL level, to no fault of his own. The same can be said for Tyus Bowser and Tim Williams who, even after two seasons, we still don’t know how good they can be.Matthew Judon is still the only established pass-rusher on the roster Limited Mark Andrews Jersey , although it’s fair to note Patrick Onwuasor recorded 5.5 sacks of his own last season. However, compared to the other egde rushers on the roster, Judon is the only known commodity. Ezekiel Ansah is more of a defensive end than he is outside linebacker, but the skill set he possesses is one the Ravens could use on defense. Ferguson is an adequate replacement for Terrell Suggs, but Baltimore didn’t replace Za’Darius Smith in the draft. They can do so by acquiring Ansah. Ansah, who turns 30 in May, is coming a shoulder injury which required surgery and sidelined him after seven games in 2018. The combination of these two factors has likely scared teams away in free agency, as there’s not many other explanations as to why he remains unsigned. In his first three seasons, Ansah recorded an impressive 30 sacks, including a career-high 14.5 sacks in 2015. His production has leveled out in the three years since then, although he did have 12 sacks in 2017 and four in just seven games last season. Ansah doesn’t have much experience playing in a 3-4 scheme, but he’s versatile enough to line up in different spots on he field. He simply knows how to be disruptive and get to the quarterback, skills that are scheme-bulletproof. Ansah’s desired contract may be out of the Ravens price range, but it doesn’t appear other teams are knocking down the door to sign him. Coming to Baltimore on a short-term deal may be the best thing for his career and a mutually-beneficial move for both sides.In his post-draft presser Mark Andrews Ravens Jersey , DeCosta was asked about Ansah and responded accordingly. “We had a great visit,” said DeCosta. “He came in and was very impressive, as you’d expect … we’ll see where it leads.” If Baltimore is going to go after him, it would likely be after May 7th. After this date, teams can sign unrestricted free agents without losing compensatory draft picks, which we know the Ravens covet.

His combination of play speed, quickness, versatility and toughness align with the Ravens needs on offense and special teams. Let’s see what his tape shows us:Hardman has many positives to his game:Can play in the slot or outside.Quick with good enough strength (17 bench reps) to beat press coverageCreates huge separation on underneath, intermediate and deep routesPerformed in big games, scoring touchdowns in SEC Championship and National Championship gamesDouble move connoisseur Elite tracking abilityScary ability as a gunner and returner on special teamsExcels taking jet sweeps/screens and converting them into first downs/touchdownsRuns through contact at an incredibly high speed, breaking alarming amounts of tackles for his sizeSudden in underneath routes to open up throwing lanesOutstanding visionWorks back to the quarterbackUses the sideline wellGreat body controlWilling blocker5’10’’ 187 pound frame is big enough to absorb contact for his play styleHardman needs to work on:Hand strength/securing catchesPlaying through the whistleContested catchesBecoming an every down playerHardman’s combine numbers were shocking:4.31s forty-time1.48 ten-yard split36 inch vertical17 reps of 225Mecole Hardman is around the same size as many of the NFL’s leading receivers including Antonio Brown, Stefon Diggs, Tyreek Hill Elite Mark Andrews Jersey , T.Y. Hilton, Brandin Cooks and Odell Beckham Jr. His size, speed, and quickness would present problems for bigger corners.Hardman was a high-school quarterback, and is still learning the receiver position. With that being considered, his ceiling is considerably higher as a pro than in college. He managed to find the end zone once every 4.6 plays, scoring 13 touchdowns on only 60 touches. He also managed 1,467 return yards on only 74 returns. Mecole would be valuable in the Ravens’ offense, and would be able to take the top off, consistently winning 1-on-1 on the outside or in the slot. If the box is stacked, Hardman will score at a freakishly high rate if Lamar Jackson is able to get the ball in his hands deep.Greg Roman would love to have him for jet sweeps/screens which are a prominent feature in his offensive game plan. Many pundits predict that Mecole will be available in the third round. University of Georgia playmakers have excelled at the NFL level, and Hardman should follow suit. He projects somewhere between Seattle Seahawks’ Tyler Lockett and Kansas City Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill. If the Ravens are able to secure Hardman with the 85th pick, they won’t regret it.
