The Ravens have 11 total picks: Nos. 14, 45, 80, 115, 154, 162, 173, 174, 211, 250, 253. But how will they use them? Which positions need to be addressed? Which prospects are coming in for visits and getting buzz with the Baltimore front office and coaching staff?

Friday, April 10: The Ravens hosted Washington wide receiver and first-round prospect Denzel Boston on a pre-draft visit as they look to upgrade the targets for quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Boston, who ranked ninth in FBS with 11 touchdown catches last season, brings a lot of size at 6 feet 4 and would complement the shifty route-running of Zay Flowers.

Projected as a mid to late first-round selection, Boston could be available if Boston trades back from the No. 14 overall selection. The Ravens need to improve their pass-catching depth.

Last season, Baltimore's wide receivers totaled 1,946 receiving yards, which ranked 25th in the league.


Thursday, April 9: The Ravens' decision with the No. 14 overall pick could be impacted by Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson's workout on April 17, which was set today.

He has dealt with hamstring injuries and did not run at the NFL combine for Arizona State's pro day. This workout will occur six days before the first round, and it could sway what the Ravens do with their first selection. Baltimore has been linked to Tyson because the team needs to improve Lamar Jackson's pass-catchers.

Zay Flowers was the only Ravens wide receiver who totaled over 25 catches and 400 yards receiving. The only time the Ravens have selected a wide receiver in the first 20 picks was 2000, when Baltimore draft Travis Taylor at No. 10 overall.


OT Travis Burke travels to Baltimore

Wednesday, April 8: The Ravens brought in Memphis offensive tackle Travis Burke for a pre-draft visit as they continue to look at offensive line prospects. Burke is projected as a Day 3 prospect. He has experience (46 starts) and a large frame but struggles at sustaining blocks.

Baltimore has also had a pre-draft visit with Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor, who is projected to go late in the first round.

The Ravens would likely consider Iheanachor if they traded back from the No. 14 overall pick.

Baltimore is set this year at left tackle with Ronnie Stanley but the team could be looking for a long-term answer at that spot because Stanley is 32 and is under contract through 2027.
