Ravens' worst draft picks over past 10 years ranked
#5 Tim Williams, Outside linebacker, Alabama, 2017 NFL Draft
Williams had a lot of hype coming out of college. The reason for him plummeting down the draft board was off-the-field problems. Many scouts had him as the second-best edge rusher in the draft behind Myles Garrett.
The Baltimore Ravens value good character, but Williams was found wanting in that aspect. Coach John Harbaugh couldn't rely on him due to his mediocre conditioning and unreliable effort. He was out of Baltimore after just 19 games and two sacks.
#4 Maxx Williams, Tight end, Minnesota, 2015 NFL Draft
Williams was a solid dual-threat tight end in college. He was decent as a blocker and very impressive as a pass catcher.
However, Williams never got going in Baltimore. The 2015 draftee caught 32 passes in his rookie season but had just 31 over his next three seasons with John Harbaugh's team. He lasted four seasons in Baltimore before the franchise decided to move on.
#3 Bronson Kaufusi, Defensive lineman, BYU, 2016 NFL Draft
Kaufusi had the physique to be an asset on the defensive line. The Baltimore Ravens saw that and ignored some red flags to select him in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
However, they probably wish that they hadn't, as Kaufusi never hit it off with the fanbase. The defensive lineman played just three games in his two-year spell with the Ravens and was released ahead of his third season in the league.
#2 Kamalei Correa, Edge rusher, Boise State, 2016 NFL Draft
Correa was an edge rusher who never registered a sack while playing for the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected as a day-three pick, but the Ravens elected to select him in the second round.
That decision will forever go down in Baltimore infamy, as Correa registered just 19 tackles in 25 games for the Ravens. The Boise State product never developed into a starting-caliber edge rusher in the NFL and was out of the league for five seasons.
#1 Breshad Perriman, Wide receiver, Central Florida, 2015 NFL Draft
In the 2015 NFL Draft, Breshad Perriman was viewed as an exciting prospect with a stunning blend of top-end speed and size. His potential saw him selected in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens.
Perriman was considered a prospective pass catcher, but the Ravens could never develop him into a starting-caliber wide receiver. In three years with the Ravens, he appeared in 27 games and recorded 43 catches and three touchdowns.
