Some notes:
• The offensive line needs work. Can the Ravens still address it in free agency?
• The Ravens have 10 draft picks now, with four of them in the first 100 picks.
• Adding playmakers at running back and tight end in Rounds 4-6 should be a priority.
• This is a deep draft if you need a cornerback.
• Interior defensive line is a top priority, but the board wasn’t kind. I don’t think it’s a deep position in this year’s draft.
• You can never have enough defensive backs or edge rushers, so if the Ravens add to those positions, no one should be surprised.
• Best player available is always going to be a Ravens strategy, especially in Round 1.
• I can see the Ravens adding a wide receiver at some point as well.
