Lamar Jackson’s contract situation looms over all aspects of Baltimore’s offseason — and the draft is certainly no different.
Unless there’s a major breakthrough in negotiations before then, the Ravens will go into the draft without a lot of certainty at the game’s most important position, but if they’re optimistic that Jackson will remain their quarterback, it will be harder to justify going after one of the top QBs available.
Baltimore used the franchise tag on Jackson, meaning if he reaches an agreement with another team and the Ravens don’t match it, they could receive two first-round picks in return.
