Texas Christian University linebacker **Jason Phillips** became the newest member of the Ravens on Sunday, as Baltimore spent their first fifth-round pick on the 6-foot-1, 239-pounder.
The Ravens traded their fourth- (123rd overall) and sixth-round (198th) picks to the New England Patriots for the chance to have two spots in the fifth round.
The fifth-round picks (137th and 141st) originally belonged to the Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks.
Phillips, who led the Horned Frogs with 84 tackles last year, projects to be a middle linebacker in Baltimore's defense.
The four-time All-Mountain West Conference honoree can immediately help the Ravens on special teams while he plays his way on to the defense.
An explosive tackler, Phillips recently had surgery on a torn meniscus in his knee, but he should be fully recovered for training camp.
Phillips provides depth behind [Ray Lewis, **Tavares Gooden** and [Brendon Ayanbadejo
at middle linebacker.
