The Baltimore Ravens loaded up with a bevy of young talent over the course of the 2024 NFL Draft. General manager Eric DeCosta stayed in the team’s original slots, let the board fall to them and made nine picks including some incredible values with each of their first five selections through the first four rounds.
Every year, the arrival of new inexpensive talent via the draft can greatly benefit the chances of current players already on the roster to succeed or make the team for the upcoming season. However, the influx of new blood could also severely diminish the odds of other players lower on the depth chart whose positions were addressed with the addition of talented and often highly drafted prospects.
