Ravens pick DT Willie Henry in 4th round

Rick Osentoski / USA TODAY Sports

The Baltimore Ravens have selected defensive tackle Willie Henry out of Michigan in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

The Ravens add more pass rush help as they have already drafted defensive ends Kamalei Correa and Bronson Kaufusi.

Henry could compete with Lawrence Guy to be a starting defensive end, but will most likely be used as a situational interior pass-rusher as a rookie.
