3 days ago | baltimorebeatdown.com | Dustin Cox

Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images The Baltimore Ravens have been one of the NFL’s best teams since Lamar Jackson took over as the starting quarterback midway through the 2018 season. That looks to continue this year as general manager Eric DeCosta has once again assembled one of the league’s best rosters, with 11 draft picks to add to the equation starting this Thursday with the No. 27 overall pick in the first round.

Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images The Baltimore Ravens did not miss a beat when transitioning from legendary general manager Ozzie Newsome to his long-time understudy Eric DeCosta in 2019, keeping the team’s reputation as one of the best organizations at drafting and developing players. DeCosta has been particularly strong in the first round, with every selection since 2019 being a hit on some scale.

Photo by Brooke Sutton/Getty Images The Baltimore Ravens will make their selection in the first round in just a few days. They go into the draft needing very little and wanting a lot: an elite rusher to take down the quarterback, some more top-end defensive back talent, reinforcements along both trenches. But the top of the roster and starters are mostly penciled in. They truly could go in any direction; the pick at 27th overall is a luxury for them.

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The Baltimore Ravens added valuable depth and a veteran presence to their wide receiver corps during free agency by signing DeAndre Hopkins to a one-year deal. The Tennessee Titans traded the five-time Pro Bowler to the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2024 season, where he caught 41 passes for 437 yards and four touchdowns in 10 regular-season games. Pairing Hopkins with two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes was not the slam dunk many envisioned.

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti reflects on risk of drafting Lamar Jackson

Mitch Stringer-Imagn Images In a stacked quarterback class in the 2018 NFL Draft that saw five signal callers come off the board in the first round, many analysts saw Louisville Heisman-winner Lamar Jackson as the riskiest of the bunch. The polarizing dual threat would have slipped out of the first round if not for the Baltimore Ravens trading with the Philadelphia Eagles for the No. 32 overall pick to take him.

Henry did not disappoint, finishing with the second-most rushing yards in the league in 2024.
