To review, here are the Ravens’ picks:

• Round 1 – CB Nate Wiggins, Clemson
• Round 2 – OT Roger Rosengarten, Washington

Current players on the roster who will benefit or be hurt the most by the arrival of this year’s rookie class.

The Baltimore Ravens loaded up with a bevy of young talent over the course of the 2024 NFL Draft. General manager Eric DeCosta stayed in the team’s original slots, let the board fall to them and made nine picks including some incredible values with each of their first five selections through the first four rounds.

Every year, the arrival of new inexpensive talent via the draft can greatly benefit the chances of current players already on the roster to...

Nearly ready for Week 1

After selecting nine rookies in the 2024 NFL draft, the Ravens depth chart is beginning to come into focus. Baltimore’s roster is probably better positioned than it was at the same juncture last offseason, before general manager Eric DeCosta added impact veterans including Jadeveon Clowney and Ronald Darby, after training camp began. There are a couple positions where a veteran signing seems likely but overall the Ravens already appear ready to compete for the AFC championship once again.

A look into the reasoning behind the Ravens’ pick of Rasheen Ali at No. 165.

Despite adding four-time Pro Bowler and two-time league rushing champion Derrick Henry during the initial wave of free agency, running back remained an underrated need for the Baltimore Ravens heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. The only player at the position under contract beyond the 2025 season is last year’s undrafted gem Keaton Mitchell, who will likely miss some time to start the season after suffering a torn ACL last December.

This year’s running back class is far from highly touted and the fact that...

The Baltimore Ravens entered Day 3 of the draft with six draft selections at their disposal, which they ultimately made full use of. The Ravens wrapped up their 2024 rookie class by adding six more prospects into the mix, not making a single trade over the whole weekend.

What are the ramifications of their draft picks from Saturday’s draft finale? Let’s break it down below to see who and what are winners or losers.

Winner: Lamar Jackson

The Ravens did not select a wide receiver with one of their first three picks, which many thought they may. Instead,...

The 2024 draft officially wrapped up on Saturday afternoon and saw nearly 20 additional players be drafted into the AFC North. All four teams in the division had at least three selections made on Day 3 to round out their incoming rookie classes.

Let’s recap and break down all the picks made in the AFC North on the draft’s concluding day.

Baltimore Ravens

Pick: No. 113 (R4)

Selection: WR Devontez Walker, North Carolina

With their first of two fourth-round picks, the Ravens added their first offensive playmaker of the draft. North Carolina’s Devontez Walker profiles as a big-play,...

The Baltimore Ravens draft with the No. 228 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

With the No. 228 pick in Round 7 of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected Nick Samac, center, Michigan State.

Height: 6’4”
Weight: 307 lbs.

School: Michigan State

Kyle Phoenix’s analysis: If nothing else, this pick feels like a signal that the Ravens were not excited about the guard class. This echoes what general manager Eric DeCosta said after Day 2 on how their guard board got wiped clean by the end of Round 3.

The Ravens are in the market for a backup...

The Baltimore Ravens draft Devin Leary with the No. 218 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

With the No. 218 pick in Round 6 of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected Devin Leary, quarterback, Kentucky.

Height: 6’1
Weight: 215 lbs.

School: Kentucky

2023 stats: 13 games | 56.3% completion | 2,746 yards | 25 TD | 12 INT | 134.3 QB Rating

Kyle Phoenix’s analysis: The Ravens have a need at backup quarterback and late in the sixth round is a reasonable spot to take a flyer.

Interestingly, Leary isn’t a similar fit to what the Ravens have...

Every rumor and signing on the Baltimore Ravens undrafted free agency in one place.

Though the 2024 NFL draft has found its conclusion, the hunt for the best undrafted free agents begins. The Ravens are a team that deeply value UDFAs to fill roles and holes in their roster.

Last season, the Ravens sported nine undrafted free agents they discovered on their roster, with multiple also on their practice squad.

Throughout their history, the Ravens have landed quality players in the UDFA process, including kicker Justin Tucker, running back Priest Holmes and Gus Edwards, and linebackers Bart Scott, Zachary Orr...

A look into the reasoning behind the Ravens’ pick of T.J. Tampa at No. 130.

In his press conference following Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft, Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta told reporters the team’s approach to the third and final day would be to “just draft the best football players.”

“We’re just basically open highway and we can just sit back and just draft the best guys that we see on the board without any real thought to position or how they’re going to fit roster-wise,” DeCosta said Friday night.

While the selection of North Carolina wide...
