With the 17th pick in the 2014 AA Writers’ Mock Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select…

17. Baltimore Ravens
Marqise Lee
WR, USC

After winning the Superbowl in 2012 and making quarterback Joe Flacco one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL, the Ravens missed the playoffs this year, largely because of the fact that their QB didn’t have anybody to throw the ball to. The Ravens need help all over the field, but bringing a top-tier receiving talent like Lee who has 2,864 receiving yards and 25 TDs in his career at USC is a good start to score points.
