OWINGS MILLS, Md. The Ravens had more than 20 young players gather at the Under Armour Performance Center for the first rookie minicamp since 2019.
Here are some observations from the session open to the media:
Wide receiver Rashod Bateman, the 27th overall selection in the draft, was smooth running routes. He s lean at 6-foot-1, 193 pounds, so he might need to add some muscle heading into training camp. He fielded punts under the close scrutiny of coaches and that could be an option for him as a rookie. Bateman clearly has the talent to make a first-year impact.

Set: Quarterback, running back, cornerback
As the title suggests, the focus of this article is on needs. We’ll discuss some depth moves as well but the Bengals have both Joe Burrow and Joe Mixon under contract until 2025 so they’re relatively “set” with starters. They may have released Gio Bernard but Trayveon Williams actually graded out surprisingly well in pass blocking (which was Gio’s specialty) and they have him and Samaje Perine under cheap deals until 2023 so I don’t see them using any of their more valuable picks on backup QB or running back this year. They have bigger fish to fry at picks 5, 38, and 69 at least.
