2020 – Patrick Queen – Baltimore Ravens

With the No. 28 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens drafted linebacker Patrick Queen from Louisiana State University (LSU). Patrick Queen rocked out his rookie season as the best Baltimore Ravens linebacker.

He finished the season leading the team in tackles with 106. He also added three sacks which was tied for the team lead along with 10 tackles for a loss, one interception, two passes defended, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.

The funny thing about this pick is that most Saints fans wanted the team to draft Patrick Queen with the pick they had before No. 28. They passed and now Queen was one of the finalists for defensive rookie of the year.

As you can see it is not impossible for someone to find a diamond at the No. 28 pick. This NFL Draft can be no different, I have no doubt that Sean Payton and his staff will prepare and choose their own diamond in the rough this year.
