On paper, the Ravens 2019 NFL Draft class appears to be a good one. their first five picks could all see significant playing time as rookies; even a few of them could start multiple games. Their last three picks could have part-time roles and perhaps be slated to replace current players down the road.
What makes Baltimore such an impressive organization is how they’re constantly able to reload their team and stay competitive. It all comes down to drafting well and making smart decisions in resigning and letting their own free agents walk. The Ravens don’t care about your feelings, as we’ve seen plenty of beloved players walk out the team’s front office for seemingly the last time. Still, they more often than not end up being right on their personnel decisions.
