DeCosta Calls No. 14 Pick a 'Sweet Spot' for Ravens in NFL Draft​

Speaking at the team's predraft luncheon, Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta pointed to the team's position at No. 14 overall as a key opportunity to strengthen the roster around quarterback Lamar Jackson.

"Well, I think it's positioned that way," DeCosta said. "When we look at it at [pick] 14… that's typically a different type of player that you can get. Looking at the board, we see tremendous value offensive-line-wise… receiver-wise… So, I feel like it's a sweet spot for us. We have a chance to address some positions early on, but also, I'm excited about what we see in the third, fourth, and fifth rounds as well."

DeCosta added that increased collaboration with the coaching staff, led by Jesse Minter, has helped expand the team's board and overall draft flexibility — giving Baltimore multiple paths to upgrade its supporting cast.
