The Ravens drafted eight players over the weekend, five of which play offense and the other three being defensive guys. Overall, it was a pretty successful draft for Eric DeCosta’s first go-around as general manager. Baltimore filled roster needs, got good value with their picks, and boosted their long-term outlook.
Almost all of the incoming rookie class could contribute right away if need-be, but their roles will be defined by the position they play and the talent already present on the roster, as well their own skill set.
Much can change between now and September, but let’s take an early crack in predicting the role each rookie with play next season.
