JUST IN: Baltimore Ravens Huge Bold predictions For 2024 NFL Draft

The Baltimore Ravens enjoyed a terrific regular season that had people thinking Super Bowl until they crashed the party in the 2023–2024 NFL Playoffs.

The eventual Super Bowl winner Kansas City Chiefs defeated Baltimore 17–10 in a game that demonstrated the Ravens’ inability to overcome championship-caliber opponents.

As difficult and intimidating as it may appear right now, the job for Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta and Head Coach Jim Harbaugh will be to find and choose the players who will assist Lamar Jackson and the other Ravens in banishing their playoff demons in 2024–2025.

The whole seven-round mock draft for the Ravens was been made public. It was made public when Cam Newton was still questioning Jackson’s standing as a superstar quarterback eligible for free agency.

There have been a lot of speculations and predictions about what the dynamic pair of the Ravens will do at the number thirty, which they will choose this Thursday in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Here are three audacious last-minute picks for the Ravens in the 2024 NFL Draft, along with an analysis of each pick’s potential impact on Baltimore moving forward:

1. Kool-Aid McKinstry will be drafted by the Ravens

Even though the Ravens sorely need additional playmakers for Jackson, Coach Harbaugh and crew will find that the versatile Alabama Crimson Tide defensive back’s game footage is too good to ignore with selection number thirty.

McKinstry’s circumstances are similar to those of Brian Branch in the previous round. Branch slipped so low, maybe as a result of general managers choosing Alabama players in the first round of the draft, even though every GM worth his salt knew he was better than a player of the second round level.

Branch slipped into the Lions’ laps for this, and maybe other reasons, even though he would have had a first round grade in any other recent season.

It all appeared too good to be true, and Branch’s flexibility and domination in Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide secondary seemed to work against him as well.
