Vote for your preferred OT, CB & WR combination
With the 2024 NFL Draft rapidly approaching, the majority of national pundits, local reporters and Baltimore fans alike have identified offensive tackle, wide receiver and cornerback as the Ravens top roster needs. However, the preferred draft order to address such needs is debatable.
Six potential draft scenarios that could allow General Manager Eric DeCosta to fill all three needs with talented prospects that suit the Ravens specific skillset requirements:
Option A
Pick 30 – OT Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma
Pick 62 – CB Max Melton, Rutgers
Pick 93 – WR Javon Baker, UCF
Despite inexperience, Guyton offers rare physical gifts to mirror in pass protection, Melton profiles as a sticky corner with inside-out versatility. Baker could contribute as a deep ball specialist while he refines his route running under wide receivers coach Greg Lewis’ tutelage.
Option B
Pick 30 – OT Kingsley Suamataia, BYU
Pick 62 – WR Xavier Legette, South Carolina
Pick 93 – CB Renardo Green, Florida State
After mastering his technique under the guidance of offensive line coach Joe D’Allessandris, Suamataia’s tools should allow him to start at either left or right tackle. A big-bodied physical specimen, Legette packs tremendous run-after-the-catch potential. Green is an aggressive man-coverage specialist.
Option C
Pick 30 – CB Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama
Pick 62 – OT Kiran Amegadjie, Yale
Pick 93 – WR Devontez Walker, North Carolina
An experienced and technically sound prospect, McKinstry could be a Week 1 starter. Amegadjie offers positional versatility as he gains experience before eventually manning left tackle. Despite inconsistent hands, Walker provides vertical field-stretching ability.
Option D
Pick 30 – CB Cooper DeJean, Iowa
Pick 62 – WR Ja’Lynn Polk, Washington
Pick 93 – OT Roger Rosengarten, Washington
DeJean is a playmaking ballhawk from the slot, perimeter or deep safety positions. A well-rounded prospect, Polk brings three-level versatility and top-tier contested catch ability. A late riser, Rosengarten profiles as a plug-and-play right tackle.
Option E
Pick 30 – WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
Pick 62 – CB T.J. Tampa, Iowa State
Pick 93 – OT Blake Fisher, Notre Dame
Coleman projects to be a possession target who dominates at the catch point. Tampa is a zone-based prospect with the athletic tools to develop scheme versatility. With NFL measurables, Fisher has starting ability after correcting technique issues.
Option F
Pick 30 – WR Adonai Mitchell, Texas
Pick 62 – OT Patrick Paul, Houston
Pick 93 – CB D.J. James, Auburn
Mitchell has all the tools to develop into a bonafide wide receiver one after refining his route running. Yet another tackle with NFL length and athleticism, Paul presents a high ceiling. A twitchy athlete, James offers inside-out versatility.
