Riley Ferguson Memphis Draft Predictions

  • Grade
    • 6.3/10.0
  • Projected Round
    • Between the sixth and seventh round. Ferguson could also be undrafted and signed in free agency.
  • Best Value
    • Sixth round.
  • Probable Target for the Baltimore Ravens?
    • No, Riley Ferguson will not be targeted by the Baltimore Ravens. Ferguson is a gunslinger type quarterback that simply does not fit the offense the Ravens run. Baltimore will keep its eye open for a pocket passer quarterback they could draft in the later rounds, not a hybrid type like Ferguson.
