An annual updating article on the Ravens’ NFL draft picks.
Welcome to the Baltimore Ravens future draft picks tracker! We’ll update this post as necessary over the course of time. General Manager Eric DeCosta’s both a coveter of picks but also trades, which will routinely bring us back here.

Some are calling the Ravens’ trade for WR Diontae Johnson “larceny.” But all are reacting positively for the Ravens in the trade.
On Tuesday, well ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline, the Baltimore Ravens made the decision to add another wide receiver to their roster. General manager Eric DeCosta made a deal with the Carolina Panthers and Diontae Johnson packed his bags and headed to Charm City.
The move came a day after the Kansas City Chiefs made their second midseason trade that generated frustration from impatient Ravens fans annoyed with watching the back-to-back champions further strengthening their undefeated roster....
The Baltimore Beatdown staff react to the Baltimore Ravens trading for Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson.
According to multiple reports, the Baltimore Ravens have traded for wide receiver Diontae Johnson. Below are the reactions from the staff here at Baltimore Beatdown.
Adding an extra receiver is a boost for the offense. While Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers are acceptable in their roles, the depth left much to be desired. If one were to go down, it would largely hamper the receiving unit.
Johnson brings with him a bevy of experience and playmaking ability. Certainly when it comes to...
The Baltimore Ravens have traded for wide receiver Diontae Johnson
According to multiple reports, the Baltimore Ravens have traded for Carolina Panthers wide receiver Dointae Johnson.
Johnson, 28, joins the Ravens in adding receiver depth and bolsters another playmaker for one of the NFL’s best offenses. Ravens fans may be familiar with him as he was drafted in the third round and played for the Pittsburgh Steelers since 2019. In that time, he faced the Ravens nine times, caught 45 passes for 495 yards and three touchdowns.
Johnson enters with a wealth of experience and playmaking. His career numbers express...
Grading the Ravens’ position groups in their Week 8 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
Quarterback: B+
335 total yards and zero turnovers would be a great day for most NFL quarterbacks, but Lamar Jackson is graded on a steep curve as he hurtles towards a potential third MVP. He made a couple of great throws under pressure and consistently picked up yards on the ground, but he missed multiple open receivers downfield and struggled to find the right pre-snap answers at the line of scrimmage. Jackson was still great on Sunday, but the Ravens’ deficiencies elsewhere required him...
Week 8 closes out with an interconference matchup

Risers and fallers after Ravens 29-24 loss vs. Cleveland
At this point, we can just chalk up losses like this for the Ravens before the year starts. In a game that felt eerily similar to Baltimore’s Week 5 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, the Ravens dropped multiple passes on offense and defense that allowed the Cleveland Browns to gain their second win on the year. The Ravens continue to play down to competition and struggle to figure out anything on defense, even against the worst offense in the NFL.
Even...
The Ravens’ pass defense is struggling after Dennard Wilson’s departure.
Last season, the Baltimore Ravens’ defense was one for the history books. They finished the 2023 regular season with the best defense by points per game (16.5), most sacks (60) and most takeaways (31). Had nothing changed for them in the 2024 offseason, they’d still be bound for regression. The difficulty of repeating as a top ranked defense in any metric is of great difficulty. Since 2018, only the Buccaneers, Bills, Steelers and Cowboys have repeated in a single metric.
There are numerous reasons why the Ravens are struggling. The...
The Ravens lost to the Browns 29-24 in Week 8 dropping them to 5-3. Check out their complete schedule and results for the 2024 season. All times are Eastern Time.
The Baltimore Ravens are 5-3 through Week 8 of the NFL season. They are in second place in the AFC North. The Ravens lost to the Browns 29-24 in their last game.
More questions than answers were revealed in disappointing performance on Sunday.
In an AFC North showdown between two teams heading in different directions, the Baltimore Ravens were upset in gut-wrenching fashion by the Cleveland Browns in a 29-24 loss. They not only had their five-game winning streak snapped, the result ended a five-game skid by their division rivals who notched just their second win of the season.
There were several concerning performances by players and units on both sides of the ball who played pivotal roles in the Ravens’ overall record dropping to 5-3. With the loss, they temporarily fall...
The Ravens’ signature free agent signing in 2022, safety Marcus Williams, did not play vs. Browns in Week 8.
This season, safety Marcus Williams has struggled to play to the level that made him the Baltimore Ravens’ prized free agent signing in 2022. His struggles in 2024 ultimately led to the Ravens not playing Williams against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8.
“It was a personnel decision,” Harbaugh said after the game. “We’re kind of working through some things there which I feel very confident Marcus is going to be out there playing great football the rest of the season.”...
