Round 1: A.J. Brown, Wide Receiver, Ole Miss
Lamar Jackson was one of many additions to the Ravens offense this season. They understood the passing game as a whole needed renovation and they did exactly that by signing Michael Crabtree, Willie Snead, and John Brown at receiver. They also drafted tight end Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews.

While it helped this season, they need to continue adding young talent. They do that here with Ole Miss wideout A.J. Brown. At one point he was one of the highest rated receivers in the draft, but he was passed up by players like N’Keal Harry and even teammate D.K. Metcalf. Those two are already off the board, but the Ravens still land a legitimate weapon with their top pick who can grow alongside Jackson.
Round 3: Nate Herbig, OG, Stanford
Baltimore has no picks in the second round after making the move to get back into day one in 2018 for the right to draft Jackson. They could end up making a move to get back into the round, and with Joe Flacco likely being traded they could be selecting more than one player on day two.
Trying to predict trades is a tough ask, so instead, we just move onto the third round pick they do have. With that selection, they go with Stanford guard Nate Herbig. Baltimore is a run-first team and adding a 335-pound guard helps them in that endeavor.
