Ohio State Football: Three possible landing spots for Garrett Wilson
By Ryan Stano
The Baltimore Ravens have the 14th pick in the draft this year. They have former MVP Lamar Jackson at quarterback and he needs more weapons. They have Hollywood Brown as a receiver already and Mark Andrews at tight end as other pass catchers too.
Even with those weapons, Jackson could use more. Adding Wilson to an offense like Baltimore would be perfect for him and the Ravens. All receivers at Ohio State have to run block well if they are going to be on the field and that’s something the Ravens covet in their run-heavy offense.
Wilson is a good run blocker. He is also very good at getting in and out of breaks, which would allow Jackson to get rid of the ball quickly and let his guy get up the field. The AFC North is also suddenly very competitive, so the Ravens need to be able to keep up with the high scoring.
If the Ravens did take Wilson, he would pair up with former teammate J.K. Dobbins as well. The former Buckeye missed all of last season after tearing his ACL in the preseason but should be back at full strength for this season. That would be cool for Wilson too.
Playing with a former MVP would help Wilson be successful immediately as well. He would also help Jackson get back to those heights as well. This is a make-or-break year for Jackson, so adding a weapon like Wilson would certainly help.
The next team that would be a good fit for Wilson is a little higher up in the Draft in turns of order.
