Here’s a look into the AFC North draft predictions, including some notable free agent signings. Will any of the AFC North teams choices in the draft affect the Ravens pick? Possibly, yes. Pittsburgh, selecting at 18 in the first round may be in need of a Cornerback and could be looking at Kyle Wilson, Boise State.  The Ravens, selecting at 25, might be interested in Wilson as well.  As for Cincinnati, consensus has the team picking Safety Taylor Mays, USC.  Yet, some analysts are thinking they may have an eye on Tight End Jermaine Gresham, Oklahoma.  The Ravens are also looking at Gresham as a possibility.  When it comes down to draft day, we’ll see if these factors come into play.
