Top needs

Offensive line
EDGE
Wide receiver

The Ravens experienced some losses in free agency, including defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, and they’re still in search of a dominant edge rusher. Having a top pass rusher on the outside would boost a defense that is already good rushing the quarterback. On the other side of the ball, the Ravens are still trying to build depth at receiver, though Zay Flowers is a good start.

Best first-round fits

Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State

Best Day 2 fits

Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon
Patrick Paul, OT, Houston

How they did last draft

The Ravens got an A-minus, but they didn’t get too much immediate impact. First-round pick Zay Flowers had a good season with 77 catches for 858 yards and five touchdowns, but the rest of the class had limited roles at best. Part of that is the Ravens had good veteran depth and didn’t need rookie contributions.

Dream fantasy draft pick

The Ravens have a screaming need for upgrades to the receiving room. Here's hoping this team either uses selection Nos. 30 or 62 on one of the various size/speed wideouts likely to be available to them. If they land Adonai Mitchell, Devontez Walker, Keon Coleman or Xavier Legette, we're in business. Fire up the hype machine. — Andy Behrens
