Ravens host top CB prospect

By Aaron Becker | Last updated 4/4/23

The Ravens are still in need of a cornerback to pair with Marlon Humphrey in the secondary and their answer may have just visited the team Tuesday.

Baltimore reportedly hosted Miami CB Tyrique Stevenson, who is a projected day-two prospect, as a top-30 visit.

Stevenson currently ranks a Pro Football Focus' No. 45 overall prospect and the seventh-best ranked cornerback on its big board. Th 22-year-old had 25 tackles, two interceptions and seven passes defensed in 2022.

However, there is a little bit of a problem. The Miami product is predicted to be taken in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft and the Ravens don't have a second-round pick since trading for LB Roquan Smith during the 2022 season.

With it being unlikely Stevenson will fall to Baltimore's third-round pick at No. 86, it would have to either reach for him at No. 22 or trade down to acquire more picks. There is also the other outcome of trading QB Lamar Jackson for a king's ransom, but we'll give the Ravens the benefit of the doubt that they'll work something out.

Cornerback Marcus Peters is still a free agent as well if Baltimore does want to bring him back but it seems the team wants to get younger at the position and Stevenson may just be his replacement.
