OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Ravens went the small-school route again in selecting offensive lineman Ryan Jensen from Colorado State-Pueblo with their second sixth-round pick.
Jensen was the 203rd overall selection after playing Division II football and will be expected to compete for a roster spot along the Ravens’ interior offensive line. He was listed as a center when the Ravens announced the pick, but Jensen wasn’t a household name on most draft experts’ radars.
General manager Ozzie Newsome said earlier this offseason that the Ravens would like to bring in another center to compete with 2012 fourth-round pick Gino Gradkowski.
Jensen is 6-foot-3 and 317 pounds.
