DeCosta Reveals Strategy Behind Ravens Draft
Baltimore’s 2017 draft class caught plenty of people by surprise.
The Ravens started by selecting cornerback Marlon Humphrey at No. 16, which none of the major mock drafts predicted, and then continued to take defensive players with their first four picks. They also didn’t select a wide receiver, tight end, running back or make a trade.
It was a unique year, but Ravens Assistant General Manger Eric DeCosta revealed during an interview on the BMore Opinionated Podcast that the team essentially stuck to the plan they had established three months ago.
