Once again, the Ravens secured a formidable draft class with strategic picks that fell into their lap. They kicked off proceedings by snagging Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins, and later capitalized on a potential steal with Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa in the fourth round, who was projected to go much higher. Adding to their success, they landed Washington’s Roger Rosengarten, a likely Day 1 starter at right tackle, and bolstered their edge depth with Penn State’s Adisa Isaac.
Unsurprisingly, the Ravens’ draft strategy proved effective, yielding a promising group of rookies. Among the selections, standout pick Roger Rosengarten, an offensive tackle from Washington, promises immediate impact with his athleticism and potential for long-term growth. However, the pick of Devontez Walker, a wide receiver from UNC, raised some eyebrows, as he may require significant development before contributing meaningfully at the NFL level.
Overall, the Ravens navigated the draft adeptly, blending immediate needs with future potential, setting the stage for an exciting new wave of talent to bolster their roster.
Favorite pick: Roger Rosengarten, OT, Washington (62nd overall)
