The board fell nicely for the Ravens. The picks came rolling in on Day 1 of the 2021 NFL Draft as Eric DeCosta & Co. waited patiently with picks 27 and 31. Edge rushers fell as did wide receivers previously mocked to the Ravens at the bottom of the first round. The result?
WR Rashod Bateman and EDGE Jayson Oweh.
Bateman is the perfect fit for the Ravens offense as described in detail here by RSR’s Dev Panchwagh. He has versatility, is a polished route runner and has been compared in skill set to Keenan Allen and Stefon Diggs.
