Ravens continue to retool defense with Isaac
The Baltimore Ravens selected Penn State edge rusher Adisa Isaac in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, No. 93 overall.
The Ravens re-signed outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy but lost Jadeveon Clowney to the Carolina Panthers in free agency.
Moreover, former first-rounder Odafe Oweh has yet to reach his potential, while David Ojabo has missed most of his first two seasons due to injury.
Isaac was a consistent threat in the opposing backfield, racking up 11.5 sacks and 27 tackles for loss in his final two seasons with the Nittany Lions.
Pre-draft profile
Isaac's get-off and motor are very impressive and pop off the screen, and his nonstop effort helps him rack up some extra production, highlighted by 16 tackles for loss in 2023. His competitiveness, quick first step, and athletic profile make the former Nittany Lion an intriguing pass-rusher. However, he'll need to improve his anchor as a run defender and rein in his rush angles to prevent getting washed upfield by athletic blockers. Isaac has a tendency to overrun his arcs and hasn't developed the counters to elevate his game just yet. But he showcases solid hand-swat and dip moves that give him a solid foundation to build upon.
