The Baltimore Ravens are refreshed and ready to take on the world following their Week 7 bye. There is now only one team who has yet to lose, and one team who has yet to win in 2020. For the 30 teams in between, there is still much to play for as the season inches closer to the midpoint.
Sitting at 5-1 on the season, Week 8’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers will not only help define the AFC North landscape for this season but could dramatically alter Baltimore’s standing in the 2020 NFL Draft order. For now, the Ravens still sit near the bottom of the pile, moving up one spot from No. 28 last week to No. 27 this week.
Let’s take a look at the full 2021 NFL Draft order following Week 7, thanks to Draft Wire.

The Jets still hold the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft as their winless start to the season continues. The Giants are currently set to pick second, with the Jaguars sitting at three.
The Ravens, picking at No. 28 a week ago, now find themselves as the proud owners of the 27th overall pick. They have used this pick once before in their history, and it is fair to say they’ve had their money’s worth out of it. In 2011, the Ravens used the 27th pick of the draft to select cornerback Jimmy Smith. 113 games, 71 pass defenses, and 14 interceptions later, Smith is still a vital cog in the Ravens’ defense.
