Ravens Considered Top-8 Destination for Former No. 2 Pick
The Baltimore Ravens are built upon their running game but for some reason in the AFC Championship game they abandoned the run against the Kansas City Chiefs. After dealing with a multitude of injuries at the position this season they could go big-game hunting for game-changer at the position.
Besides looking at what analysts and commentators predict, odds makers get in on the game by releasing their odds for where a player may end up. The latest odds predict that the Ravens have the seventh best shot at +2500 to bring in former No. 2 pick running back Saquon Barkley.
The Ravens are tied at these odds with two other teams, the Tennessee Titans, who will be looking to replace RB Derrick Henry (which the Ravens are among the favorites to land), and the Dallas Cowboys.Covers analyst Robert Criscola wrote about the odds for Barkley on Friday, February 9 (via Draftkings). Currently, the New York Giants, Barkley’s original team, have the highest chance of bringing back their star RB (-150)Barkley is an electric talent that when healthy is one of the premier running backs in the league. Combining him with QB Lamar Jackson would make their running game a nightmare for opposing defenses.
