mostly touching on him being a good prospect despite not having a lot of starts, and his development. good stuff in there from the Ravens front office. a couple highlights

Hortiz summed up Queen’s improvement with two plays that spanned 63 days. In a Week 2 game against Texas, Queen didn’t get deep enough on his drop, which allowed a 15-yard touchdown pass. In Week 10 against Alabama, Queen was again in coverage, and this time, he intercepted Tua Tagovailoa because he got to the proper depth with more urgency by reading the quarterback’s eyes.

If you’re going to take a chance on a player early in the draft, it’s best to do it with an LSU defender.
Eight LSU defensive players drafted in the past 10 years have been selected to a Pro Bowl. That’s tied with Alabama for the most by any school in that span, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
So, even though Queen is the first LSU player drafted by the Ravens in their 25-year existence, Baltimore has long admired the likes of Patrick Peterson and Jamal Adams.
"LSU has put out outstanding defensive talent in the NFL over last 10 years. That’s something we don’t take for granted,” DeCosta said. "It’s something we look at very closely. We think Patrick is going to be the next great LSU defensive player.”

Ravens are getting a fresh LB with tons of Raw talent to be molded. Would have loved to have seen what Queen could have done his senior year. As a fan of CFB players leaving early is really frustrating but I’m excited to continue to watch Queen develop! Stud. And I called it

He was straight up blowing plays up before they had a chance to develop. His defensive plays were lost/overlooked because of the Greatest Offense of all time in the history of college football. The last 3 months I have been CoVid style binge watching LSU football games from this past season. I never realized how great he was playing the first time around watching the games live. (Probably because I was doing shots celebrating the offense) Evidently the NFL took notice which explains his 1st round selection

But Ravens officials don’t feel Queen is a gamble at all. When you consider history and his tape, they feel he has the makings of being a steal at the end of the first round.
"With a guy like Patrick, there’s not a rawness to his game,” director of player personnel Joe Hortiz said. "When you take a guy who’s maybe not polished, then you’re having to project that the coaching, and the player's ability to process and learn, and develop the specifics of the position -- then you’re having to project more. With a guy like Patrick, you’re just projecting that he’s going to be even better. Like, next year he’d be a top-10 pick or a top-15 pick versus a top-28 pick.”
