Ravens’ 2023 rookie class ranked middle of the pack among all 32 teams

Baltimore Ravens’ 2023 rookie class ranked 17th among all 32 teams

The first season for the 2023 NFL rookie class is now in the books.

Using one year of data, CBS Sport’s Chris Trapasso ranked all 32 team’s draft classes.

The Baltimore Ravens landed at No. 17, with first-round wide receiver Zay Flowers listed as the sole Year 1 hit.

“Flowers made noticeable contributions to the Ravens boosted passing attack,” Trapasso wrote. “His 21 missed tackles forced was fourth among all receivers in football in 2023. After his selection in the first round, Baltimore, with an uncharacteristically small class, didn’t get much impact, and a fifth-round pick, cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly, didn’t even make the team out of camp.”

Several players from the 2023 class could be in line for expanded roles this season. Most noticeably, third-round pick Trenton Simpson will likely replace free agent Patrick Queen as an inside linebacker next to Roquan Smith. Simpson flashed his speed and playmaking ability against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the final game of the regular season.

Seventh-round pick Andrew Vorhees could be in line to compete for a starting spot as both right guard Kevin Zeitler and left guard John Simpson are set to hit free agency. Baltimore traded back into the seventh round to select Vorhees after he slid down the board due to a torn ACL he suffered at the combine.

Sixth-round pick Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu could also compete for one of the guard positions, while fourth-round pick Tavius Robinson could be in line for a more significant workload at outside linebacker after notching one sack as a rookie.

Ten players who could have bigger roles for Ravens in 2024

We’re looking at ten players who could have bigger roles for the Baltimore Ravens in 2024

The Ravens are amid a Super Bowl window, but there are huge decisions to make regarding All-Pros Justin Madubuike and Patrick Queen.

There are numerous free agents at the wide receiver and cornerback positions, while several players could be released for salary cap purposes.

Where things currently stand, Baltimore is expected to have roughly $7,328,828 in cap space via OverTheCap, the 20th most in the NFL.

That number could grow if the team opts to part ways with some expensive contracts (perhaps Ronnie Stanley or Marlon Humphrey.

Currently, the Ravens have 48 players under contract for the 2024 season, and we’re looking at ten contributors who could have more prominent roles.

 

 

Ravens assistant HC Anthony Weaver has high praise for rookie LB Tavius Robinson

Robinson has seen his snap counts rise during his rookie season, and defensive line coach Anthony Weaver had this to say about the developing pass rusher.

The Baltimore Ravens secured their six player 2023 draft class over the course of the past week, with each player hopefully being able to contribute both now and in the future.

On Friday, the team announced that their six-player class has officially chosen their jersey numbers.

Flowers wore No. 4 in college, so it’s no surprise he stuck with the same number in the NFL. Simpson goes from No. 22 at Clemson to No. 30 as a Raven. Robinson wore 95 at Ole Miss and he wanted that number again in the pros.
