Baltimore Ravens 2021 mock draft: Post-Orlando Brown trade projections
The Baltimore Ravens made waves across the whole NFL landscape a week before the 2021 NFL Draft, trading away tackle Orlando Brown Jr. to the Kansas City Chiefs for (most notably) a first and a third this year. They did send away pick 58 in this year’s draft over to the Chiefs, but the Ravens will enter the draft with some flexibility.
Baltimore has two first-round picks, and two picks in both round three and four. If the Ravens feel like they need to move up to secure a top talent, they have the ability to do so without giving up too much.
Obviously, tackle becomes a need for the Baltimore Ravens after the trade, but the 2021 draft class is loaded at the tackle spot, and wouldn’t necessarily require first-round capital.
There are rumors swirling about the Ravens potentially in the mix to trade for a player like Julio Jones, but that wouldn’t happen until after June 1st. If a receiver piques their interest at some point early, it’s hard to imagine they don’t pull the trigger and get quarterback Lamar Jackson another weapon in the passing game.
After losing their top two defenders on the edge, the Ravens could also be interested in adding more rushers to the defense, even potentially doubling up at the position.
