Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen are ranked among the top 10 off-ball linebackers. Kenyan Drake says Lamar Jackson’s playmaking ability ‘makes it easy’ for the Ravens’ running backs. Kyle Hamilton is the highest-graded rookie safety.

What Could Best Player Available Look Like?
By now, the Ravens draft needs have been well documented, but there s no consensus among pundits on what direction they ll go with the 27th-overall pick (if they even pick there). We know General Manager Eric DeCosta has always preached best player available The Baltimore Sun s Childs Walker wrote. With so much activity set to unfold before the Ravens pick at No. 27 overall, we can t say with any certainty they ll pick a wide receiver over an edge rusher or a future starting tackle over either one.
The Baltimore Sun s Jonas Shaffer looked at prospects the Ravens could target in the early to middle rounds of the draft as the best players available. In this instance, we re focused on the first round.
Deion Sanders says Ray Lewis and Ed Reed want to be college coaches. Is adding a safety in the draft a luxury or priority? Would the Ravens take a running back in the first round? The ideal first two picks for the Ravens.
I m glad Dallas got this deal done with Dak Prescott before Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen top it. Marcus Mosher (@Marcus Mosher) March 9, 2021
Dak really changed the quarterback market. Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are going to come to the table talking that talk. Whew. Mark Gunnels (@MarkAGunnels) March 9, 2021
No question that Josh Allen & Lamar Jackson are happy about Dak Prescott s new contract. Joel Corry (@corryjoel) March 9, 2021
Looks like Dak Prescott made out very well. The no-trade clause is officially a thing for veteran QBs now. Expect that to become an expectation for the negotiations surrounding Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and others.https://t.co/1YiAIKKCpz Jason B. Hirschhorn (@by JBH) March 8, 2021
