Predicting the Ravens' 2016 first-round pick

We know the names.
We’ve read the mock drafts — all 3,742 of them.
It’s time to go on the record as I offer a dream pick, the unexciting choice, a trade-down scenario, the safe selection, and my official prediction for the Ravens as they are slated to make their earliest pick since the 2000 draft.
The dream pick: Florida State DB Jalen Ramsey
Reasoning: The debate over whether he’s better suited to play cornerback or safety continues, but maybe Ramsey is simply meant to be a Swiss army knife around which you build an entire secondary. He’s a bigger, faster version of Tyrann Mathieu who can be a game-changing talent at a position of need. It’s difficult imagining him falling to No. 6, but the Ravens would jump at the chance to take him if they can.
The unexciting choice: Mississippi LT Laremy Tunsil
Reasoning: Tunsil has great physical gifts and might be the long-term answer the Ravens have lacked at left tackle since Jonathan Ogden’s retirement, but the track record of first-round tackles coming from spread offenses over the last several years is worrisome. Those touting Tunsil as the replacement for the oft-hurt Eugene Monroe seem to overlook the number of injuries he sustained in college.

The trade-down scenario: Clemson DE Shaq Lawson
Reasoning: It will be interesting to see if a quarterback-needy team is willing to trade up as high as No. 6 for Paxton Lynch of Memphis, but don’t sleep on Chicago at No. 11 attempting to jump up for Oregon defensive end DeForest Buckner or Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott. The Ravens could add an extra pick or two and walk away with Lawson, a good story and the draft’s second-best edge defender.
The safe selection: Oregon DE DeForest Buckner
Reasoning: The Ravens have depth at the 5-techinique defensive end spot, but neither Lawrence Guy nor Brent Urban have shown enough to suggest you shouldn’t take a dynamic talent at the position. He isn’t the edge rusher Baltimore needs, but a starting base defensive line of Brandon Williams, Timmy Jernigan, and Buckner would easily be one of the best young units in the NFL.
My official prediction: Ohio State DE Joey Bosa
Reasoning: We regularly hear that Bosa is no J.J. Watt, but who exactly is? His body of work in college had many projecting him as the top pick in the draft a few months ago, but underwhelming workout numbers turned him into the popular top prospect to bash since the combine. He might be better suited to play in a 4-3, but the Ravens will gladly take a high-motor player with his pass-rushing capabilities.
