'Monster Mauler!' Ravens Snag Defensive Lineman T’Vondre Sweat in Latest NFL Mock Draft

The Baltimore Ravens bolster their defensive line with a player from the Texans Longhorns in the latest NFL mock draft projections.

The Baltimore Ravens are one of four NFL teams still alive in the postseason, but it is never too early to begin thinking about the upcoming NFL Draft in April.

While the Ravens prepare to host the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, recent NFL Draft projections from FanNation have the Ravens selecting Texas Longhorns defensive lineman T’Vondre Sweat with the 32nd overall pick.

Here's what Athlon Sports had to say about "massive mauler" Sweat in its analysis:

"This monstrous nose tackle is an absolute bull in the heart of the defensive line. His ability to anchor the point of attack and create clean lanes for his linebackers makes him an obvious choice to target if your defense needs help supporting the run. Sprinkle in some surprising athleticism, and you’ve got one heck of an interesting prospect coming out of Austin."

Ravens Looking Forward to 'Huge Challenge' vs. Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs

"Monstrous" is a strong choice of words. Sweat measures in at 6-foot-4 and 362 pounds, and he was a three-star prospect out of Huntsville (Texas) High School before committing to Texas in 2018.

Since joining the Longhorns, he has put up strong numbers in the trenches, including 45 total tackles (18 solo) and two sacks this season as his team reached the College Football Playoff. He even recorded a receiving touchdown from two yards out this season with Texas.
