One Week Later…
Now that a week has passed since the 2018 NFL Draft took place, I’ve had some time to reflect on what the Baltimore Ravens did without getting caught in the knee-jerk reaction chorus.
First and foremost, let’s applaud the front office for coming into this draft with seven picks and nearly doubling up that count with a total of 12 when all was said and done. Through a series of trade-downs, they accumulated additional draft capital in rounds 4, 5, and 6. In that respect, this draft has some similarities to 2016 when the team had five picks in the fourth round – all of those players are still on the roster and should be key contributors this season.
