Just my two cents, but I think we'll continue to see NT as a highly coveted position because of the rarity of finding someone to actually man the position. The pick isn't sexy, but I believe it would do more for shoring up our defense than any other move we could make, given the players in the draft. I like Brace, but he isn't nearly as explosive as Raji is.
The Ravens don't play a true 3-4. I'm not 100% sure what they do run because I don't get a ton of chances to watch them, but I'm sure I've seen both Ngata and Kelly Gregg playing inside at the same time.

Furthermore, Raji really isn't close to being the prospect Ngata was.
