1. Patrick Queen, LB

This is shaping up to be another great draft class and it starts with their first-round pick at middle linebacker Patrick Queen. He has stepped in since day one as the starter and has been rock solid on a top-10 defense.

His speed and athleticism make him very versatile and able to stay on the field on all downs. He leads the team with 84 tackles, two sacks, and two forced fumbles. Queen also has a fumble return for a touchdown displaying good speed for his size.

He will have his work cut out for him this week as he faces the best rushing attack in the NFL. Nick Chubb has been unconscious since returning from injury and Kareem Hunt has been a great compliment in the run and pass game.

Baltimore is a heavy blitzing team so Queen will be coming towards the line of scrimmage and that can be deadly against a back like Chubb who can make one cut and take it to the house. The Ravens defense is middle of the pack and allowed the Browns to rush for 138 yards in their first meeting when Queen had eight tackles.

Next. Mayfield is changing the narrative on his turnovers. dark

The talented rookie will likely need a better performance this week as Cleveland has been hitting on all cylinders the past few games and look to be rounding into shape at the perfect time.
