The Ravens’ goal in this year’s NFL Draft is to “fix” their team, according to assistant general manager Eric DeCosta.
A three-year playoff drought and some disenchantment among the local fanbase has added pressure to the process.
DeCosta, general manager Ozzie Newsome, coach John Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz, director of college scouting, provided some insight into their strategy Wedneday at the annual pre-draft press conference in Owings Mills. In addition to the media, a contingent of Ravens PSL holders attended the gathering and were allowed to ask questions.
The Ravens reaffirmed they will not deviate from their long-term strategy of taking the best player available, regardless of position.
