With the Baltimore Ravens falling to the Buffalo Bills, the 2020-2021 season is in the books. With that in mind, it’s time to look ahead to the NFL Draft.
The season is now over for the Baltimore Ravens, so it’s officially time to start looking towards the offseason. We’ll have more analysis and speculation in the coming days and weeks, but for now, it’s time for the first mock draft of the offseason.
Most of the Ravens’ roster needs are no secret. They need an X receiver, they need interior offensive line help, they need to replace the edge rushers that will depart in free agency, and they need depth throughout the defensive side of the roster. The question is where Eric DeCosta will look to address each of these needs: free agency, trades, or the draft?
Because the Ravens were able to right the ship and reach the Divisional Round, they fell 12 draft spots in a matter of weeks, and are almost certainly out of the mix for big-time offensive weapons like DeVonta Smith and Kyle Pitts. And with just six picks to work with and several roster holes to fill, trading up for a big fish seems unlikely. But, there are still plenty of players out there that would make the Ravens better, and plenty of reason to be excited. So without further adieu, let’s get to it.
