The Ravens entered the 2024 NFL Draft with a few needs and nine draft picks. By its end, the Ravens picked up talented prospects at some positions of need and earned strong grades across the NFL media landscape for this year’s class.
Mel Kiper Jr.: “Grade: B+. [Eric DeCosta] landed three guys in my top 51, all of whom could be big-time rookie contributors, and got value with each selection. Nate Wiggins (30) is one of the fastest cornerbacks in this class, a long and gifted cover man with good instincts. Though he’s a little light at 173 pounds, he’ll grow into his frame in time. Roger Rosengarten (52), one of my favorite prospects in the entire draft, could step in and start at right tackle in 2024. Edge rusher Adisa Isaac (93) went a full round below where I rated him. He had 16 tackles for loss last season and outshined teammate Chop Robinson on tape, though Isaac doesn’t have the same kind of upside as a pass-rusher. Wideout Tez Walker (113) and cornerback T.J. Tampa (130) were tremendous picks on Day 3. I thought Tampa might end up in Round 1 at one point, but there are questions about his recovery speed. Baltimore has had a great history of late-round running backs, and Rasheen Ali (165) could be the next one to make the team. DeCosta did it again in this class; there are some excellent prospects here. It’s not quite in the A tier, though.”
