Mike Preston, columnist: The Ravens are in a tough spot because they have the No. 16 overall pick. If they stay at No. 16, the Ravens will select Notre Dame offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey, and start him on the right side. They would like to trade back in the first round and gain another pick. That way, they could get a receiver and a tight end. If that’s the case, the Ravens will select either South Carolina’s Hayden Hurst or South Dakota State’s Dallas Goedert. The Ravens need a receiver and have interest in Alabama’s Calvin Ridley if he’s available, but general manager Ozzie Newsome usually stays true to his draft board.

Jeff Zrebiec, Ravens beat reporter: Make no mistake, team officials would love to trade out of this spot, land somewhere in the low- to mid-20s and pick up a few extra picks. But if their phone doesn’t ring or they get no good offers, the Ravens have to make a pick. Notre Dame offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey isn’t a pick that will excite the fan base, but that’s never been general manager Ozzie Newsome’s goal in the draft. McGlinchey will be a solid starting tackle in the league for a decade and it’s hard to get much better value than that in the middle of the first round.
Having needs at wide receiver, tight end and offensive line, we've seen several names associated with the Ravens and the No. 16 pick in the first round.
General manager Ozzie Newsome even hinted at trading the pick.
If the Ravens stay at No. 16, here's who our experts think they could take.
