The Ravens have done a great job taking advantage of the compensatory draft selection system and it will pay dividends again this year as the team is expected to get three or four extra picks in the 2016 draft. But if the Ravens want to make significant roster improvements this year in free agency, they are going to have to ignore that formula. Offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele, who has already verbally agreed to a new deal with the Oakland Raiders, and strong-side linebacker Courtney Upshaw, who is expected to bolt as well, are probably the only free agent defections that would count toward the Ravens getting a compensatory pick.
