The Baltimore Ravens had a pair of 10-year veteran outside linebackers have career-best seasons in 2023. While they lost three-time Pro Bowler Jadeveon Clowney to the Carolina Panthers in free agency, they were able to re-sign two-time Super Bowl champion Kyle Van Noy to a two-year deal. Nevertheless, adding another edge defender in the 2024 NFL Draft remained a need even though it wasn’t as glaring as it looked at one point when it seemed as if neither seasoned pro would be brought back.
Even though the Ravens have invested a pick in at the position in each of the previous three drafts, having a wealth of talented pass rushers is never a bad problem to have especially if the other younger players have struggled with health during that span despite showing promising flashes.
