Eric DeCosta says Ravens are likely to select a running back in NFL draft

The Ravens were the talk of free agency after signing Derrick Henry to a two-year deal.

The talented running back has wear and tear on his body, as no running back has run for more yards (9,502) than Henry since he entered the league in 2016.

Still, General Manager Eric DeCosta said Baltimore will likely select a running back in the draft, most likely on Day 3.

“There are no top-tier, first-round, necessarily, type talents this year,” DeCosta said. “That being said, there are a lot of guys – if you are looking at the prospects in maybe the second, third or fourth round – there are a lot of those guys, particularly [in] third-, fourth- [or] fifth-round clumps. So we’ve looked at those guys very closely. We’re excited about some of those players. There is probably a strong chance that we will draft a running back at some point.”

Prospects who fit this idea include Braelon Allen (Wisconsin), Marshawn Lloyd (USC), Trey Benson (FSU), and Blake Corum (Michigan).
