Overview
Ravanesi was a solid, four-year starter for the Salukis. He has average size and athleticism, along with a powerful leg for the position. He can drive the ball in tough weather conditions. He has solid mechanics and get-off times, and though he had three punts blocked during his career, it doesn't appear to be a chronic problem. He has a live leg and can out-kick his coverage at times but isn't always consistent with his hang time and distance. He is adept at angle punting, as well as dropping the ball inside the 20-yard line. He also has experience as a placekicker (high school) and might be able to fill in as an emergency kicker. Ravanesi has the talent to develop into an NFL punter but isn't an elite prospect.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Lacks adequate height and does not have the athleticism to salvage the play after an errant snap. Kicks too many line drives past his kick coverage and does not consistently get good hang time.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
