The Baltimore Ravens began Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft in a big way. With the No. 124 pick in the fourth round, the Ravens selected Ole Miss Rebels edge rusher Tavius Robinson. 

The Ravens needed some extra punch in the pass rush after their losses this offseason. Justin Houston, Calais Campbell and Jason Pierre-Paul, who combined for 18 of Baltimore's 48 sacks last season, are no longer on the roster. So the Ravens are hoping that Robinson, the first edge rusher off the board on Day 3, can help replace some of that production.

SI Draft Bible describes Robinson as "A towering defender whose size and skill set allows him to play up and down the defensive front." 

Robinson had his best collegiate season in 2022, recording 37 tackles, seven sacks and five forced fumbles. The 6-6, 265-pound defender now hopes to bring that production to the NFL level.

"Powerful hands that can knock tackles off balance and win inside as a pass rusher," SI Draft Bible writes. "Strike placement and quickness also shine on grip and rip moves. Generates speed to power with a nice get-off that transposes into a pocket-pushing bull rush. Overpowers tight ends and wins across face in the run game. Stack and shed while reading on running plays."

The Ravens are on the clock again with the No. 157 pick in the fifth round.
