The Ravens enter the 2024 NFL Draft with plenty of positions to fill.
A host of free agency departures included running back Gus Edwards, offensive line trio Morgan Moses, Kevin Zeitler and John Simpson, plus the likes of Patrick Queen, Geno Stone and Jadeveon Clowney on defense.
So how does John Harbaugh’s side need to approach the draft as they look to take the next step from last season’s AFC Championship game?
We take a look at how the Ravens’ draft weekend could pan out.
Baltimore Ravens draft picks
- No. 30 overall (first round)
- No. 63 overall (second round)
- No. 93 overall (third round)
- No. 113 overall (fourth round) (from New York Jets)
- No. 130 overall (fourth round)
- No. 165 overall (fifth round)
- No. 218 overall (sixth round) (from New York Jets)
- No. 228 overall (seventh round) (from New York Jets)
- No. 250 overall (seventh round)
Key Needs
The loss of three starters on the offensive line means that attention is needed there, especially as the team’s identity is based around physical play in the trenches. Wide receiver depth is also needed.
On the other side of the ball, an edge rusher is the priority, while they should also be looking at a cornerback. A safety and outside linebacker are also areas that may warrant attention on day three.
Predictions
The Ravens have the number 30 pick and will be hoping that an offensive lineman of the quality of Amarius Mims or Tyler Guyton could still be available.
Should there be a run on offensive linemen, they could look to the cornerback position, as one of Nate Wiggins, Cooper DeJean or Kool-Aid McKinstry should still be on the board.
With a steady drip of picks, the Ravens should be able to address most of their key needs this weekend.
