There were so many good players facing the Baltimore Ravens, general manager Ozzie Newsome could make up his mind on the steal he’d get and his time ran out. More likely, the Ravens were looking for a trade and couldn’t find a partner in time.
Baltimore Ravens pass on 26th pick, Chiefs jump in with Jon Baldwin
So that opened it up for the Kansas City Chiefs to jump in to take Pittsburgh wide receiver Jon Baldwin.
It’s easy to fall in love with Baldwin as a prospect. He has excellent size and good speed once he really gets moving. His hands are good and he catches the ball routinely away from his frame. However, there are a lot of questions out there about Baldwins effort. He’s had some lapses of inconsistency throughout his career, which are concerning.
Still, it can be a little hard to judge Baldwin. He’s never had a great quarterback throwing him the ball. As a junior, the Pittsburgh quarterback play was especially poor. Baldwin still managed to finish the season with 53 receptions for 822 yards and five touchdowns.
