Did Ravens swipe Bateman away from Aaron Rodgers, Packers in first round?

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — There is someone else missing from the Green Bay Packers’ offseason workouts other than quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

A first-round wide receiver.

Baltimore Ravens director of player personnel Joe Hortiz said Monday that he feels the Packers would have taken Rashod Bateman with the No. 29 overall pick in this year’s draft, if the Ravens hadn’t selected him two spots earlier.

Hortiz is a good friend of Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst and stood next to him during Bateman’s pro day at the University of Minnesota.
