NFL Mock Draft: Ravens Add Elite Backfield Duo, Robinson & Jackson?

The Baltimore Ravens' run game has long been considered a strength of their offense due to the dual-threat ability of quarterback Lamar Jackson along with a host of running backs to pair with him in the backfield. Despite the need at wide receiver, could the Ravens look to upgrade their run game further come the NFL Draft?

The most recent mock draft from The 33rd Team has the Ravens doing just that this coming April. The 33rd Team projects the Ravens to select Bijan Robinson, the running back out of the University of Texas, with the No. 23 overall pick.

"At this point of the draft, even though the Ravens have running backs, they pick the highest-rated player on their board in Bijan Robinson," the 33rd Team said. "They will not pass on blue-chip players. Assuming Lamar Jackson returns to Baltimore, he and Robinson would give the Ravens an impressive backfield combination."

An "impressive" backfield indeed, the Texas Longhorn back rushed for over 1,000 yards in his final two seasons in Austin, and if he falls to No. 23, the Ravens could potentially land a player that many believe is one of the most talented in the draft class.

No, Robinson isn't the elite wide receiver that many are clamoring to see Jackson pair up with. Still, he would be another weapon to convince the franchise quarterback Baltimore is a place worth sticking around.
