Top 5 Worst Draft Picks- Baltimore Ravens

These guys were brought in to help the team win, but couldn't accomplish anything on the field. Today I rank the top five worst draft picks by the Baltimore Ravens

He was brought in to replace Ed Reed, but that has proven to be too much of a task thus far.

At Florida, Matt Elam was two year starter at free safety. He was named an All-American his junior year and left school with six career interceptions.

Elam was selected 32nd overall in 2013. In his two years, he has proven to be a liability in coverage and doesn't have the playmaking ability of an Ed Reed. He's managed only one interception, 0.5 sack, and one forced fumble in his four years in Baltimore. He spent time playing in Canada, the XFL, and is currently playing in the IFL.

He was productive, but by no means was ever going to be the team's top wide receiver.

At Oklahoma, Mark Clayton gained national attention his junior year when he shattered school records for receptions, yards, and touchdowns in a season. He also set the school record for career receiving yards.

Clayton was selected 22nd overall in 2005. He was beat out by Derrick Mason as the team's number one receiver each year. He was productive and brought moments of excitement to the field, but couldn't do it on a consistent basis. In five seasons in Baltimore, he never had a 1,000 yard season and was shipped to St. Louis in 2010 where he saw himself constantly battling injuries.

His production level was nowhere where it needed to be.

At Florida, Travis Taylor compiled 72 catches for 1,150 yards and 15 touchdowns in 11 career starts. He was also the MVP of the 1999 Orange Bowl.

Taylor was the 10th overall pick in 2000. The Ravens had high hopes of him making an immediate impact. However, he would only make 28 catches for 278 yards in nine games as a rookie. Like Clayton, Taylor never had a 1,000 receiving season and was released after 2004. He eventually signed with Minnesota where he became involved in the Vikings "love boat" scandal.

He struggled with injuries and drops during his Ravens tenure.

In three years at Central Florida, Breshad Perriman finished his collegiate career with 115 receptions for 2,243 yards and 16 touchdowns while being named first team All-AAC as a junior.

Perriman was selected 26 overall in 2015. He had just one reception as a rookie before landing on injured reserve. After a modest sophomore campaign, he completely regressed with focus drops and was a healthy scratch in many games. He was outperformed by undrafted receivers Kamar Aiken and Marlon Brown while never being the deep threat the offense needed. He was released prior to the start of the 2018 season and his career has been that of a journeyman. He's currently trying to make his father's former team in hopes of staying in the league.

The team thought the found the quarterback that was going to take them back to the Super Bowl. How wrong they were.

At Cal, Kyle Boller would go on to set several single season and career records for a quarterback. He still the school's all time leader in passing touchdowns.

Boller was selected 19th overall in 2003. Spending most of his time as a backup to Steve McNair and Joe Flacco among others, Kyle Boller was nothing more than a practice arm for the Ravens defense. In three of his four years as a starter, he threw more interceptions than touchdowns. He spent his final years in St. Louis and Oakland before calling it quits.
