OWINGS MILLS Youth Brent Urban Jersey , Md. (AP) — tered his first NFL draft with a long list of needs, eight picks and the pressure of measuring up to a man who traditionally flourished during this three-day event.It’s too early to determine if DeCosta will fare as well as Ozzie Newsome, who built two Super Bowl winners over a 23-year run. It will also take a while before DeCosta’s first draft can be legitimately assessed.Still, the 48-year-old rookie GM addressed each one of the team’s most notable voids — receiver, pass rusher and interior offensive lineman — with confidence while absorbing the advice of Newsome, coach John Harbaugh and college scouting director Joe Hortiz.“We got a lot accomplished,” DeCosta said late Saturday afternoon. “We added a lot of speed, we added some playmakers, we added some big guys. I think we helped our football team quite a bit.”The Ravens needed a receiver after losing John Brown and Michael Crabtree to free agency, so DeCosta picked Marquise Brown with the 25th overall selection and backed it up by taking Notre Dame wideout Miles Boykin in the third round. Two receivers in the top three picks may seem excessive, but the burly Boykin and the diminutive Brown add different elements to a passing game that must improve if Baltimore is to repeat as AFC North champions and make a deep playoff run.“The bottom line is, these are two really fast guys that make plays,” Harbaugh said. “And that’s what we were looking for.”Eager to fill the hole left by the departure of sack specialists Terrell Suggs and Za’Darius Smith through free agency, DeCosta drafted Louisiana Tech defensive end Jaylon Ferguson Stitched Nick Boyle Jersey , who happened to break Suggs’ FBS record with 45 career sacks. Ferguson could start in the season opener against Miami on Sept. 8.During the final day of the draft, the Ravens added speedy running back Justice Hill of Oklahoma State, 310-pound offensive guard Ben Powers of Oklahoma and Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley,the team’s final pick of the draft (at No. 197 overall).“Trace McSorley was kind of a sleeper pick for us,” DeCosta said. “We brought him in as a quarterback but he’s got the potential to do some other things, too. This is a great spot for him.”Lamar Jackson is the starter and Robert Griffin III is the backup, leaving little room for McSorley. That didn’t temper his delight of being selected in the sixth round.“Being in the NFL has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid,” McSorley said: “My goal is to come in and play the quarterback position. But I can do a lot of different things on the football field.”So can the seven other players that DeCosta drafted.“There were some things that we needed to build our team up,” Harbaugh said. “We got guys that fit us personality-wise, need-wise and talent-wise. I’m really happy with the way our roster looks now compared to three days ago.”Some other things to know about the Ravens’ 2019 draft:WHO THEY GOTAfter getting Brown on Thursday, DeCosta snagged Ferguson and Boykin in the third round Friday before taking five players Saturday. The flurry began with Hill and Powers, followed by Southern Cal cornerback Iman Lewis-Hill, all in the fourth round. Texas A&M defensive tackle Daylon Mack was taken in the fifth round, followed by McSorley.SURPRISE MOVEBaltimore really didn’t need a third quarterback Youth Nick Boyle Jersey , but McSorley was impressive in his workout at the team facility. “He’s our kind of guy,” Harbaugh said. “He’s gritty and tough, and that’s what we look for.”OKLAHOMA’S OKThe Ravens appear to be collecting players from Oklahoma. After drafting former Sooners Mark Andrews and Orlando Brown Jr. last year, the Ravens grabbed Brown and Powers from Oklahoma and added Hill out of Oklahoma State. “There are a whole bunch of Oklahoma players up there,” Powers said. “It’s going to be a lot of fun.”WHAT’S NEXT?DeCosta isn’t done yet. His to-do list includes getting a middle linebacker to replace the departed C.J. Mosley.“We’re just starting out this offseason,” he said before the draft. “As Ozzie used to say, ‘We don’t have to play games in April. We wait until September. I believe we’ll have a good, competitive, hard-nosed typical Ravens team on the field when we start.”He added: “We have a history of doing well in undrafted free agency.” After one season in Baltimore, the smoke show is heading north." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteBaltimore Beatdowna Baltimore Ravens communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpPodcastFilm ReviewFanpostsFanshotsRavensAboutOddsCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhitePodcast Film Review Fanposts Fanshots Ravens StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Ravens ReportYahoo Ravens Depth ChartYahoo Ravens TransactionsYahoo Ravens PhotosAbout Odds Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Filed under:NFL Free AgencyRavens WR John Brown to sign with the Buffalo Bills New,7commentsAfter one season in Baltimore, the smoke show is heading north.EDTShareTweetShareShareRavens WR John Brown to sign with the Buffalo Bills Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsAfter seeing four defensive starters head elsewhere in the early portion of free agency, the Ravens will now be without their leading receiver from last season, John Brown Stitched Alex Lewis Jersey , whose agreed to sign with the Bills on a three-year contract. Brown is coming off a nice bounce-back year in which he caught 42 receptions for 715 yards and five touchdowns. However, essentially all of this production came in the first half of the season with Joe Flacco under center. In the first nine games of the season, Brown caught 34 passes for 604 yards and four touchdowns. He produced several highlight plays and impressive touchdown receptions. While his production fell off in the back half of the season, he still managed to finish as the team’s leading receiver. Brown’s vertical passing ability clearly didn’t mesh well with the playing style of Lamar Jackson and he recently said on Instagram that the Ravens didn’t approach him about returning to Baltimore, so this news shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. His performance last season earned himself a nice raise. Brown figures to immediately slot in as the Bills top wideout and should thrive as the go-to option for Josh Allen, whose best attribute, much like Flacco, is his arm strength. As has been the case the past few year, the Ravens wide receiver unit will once again have a much different look next season. With Michael Crabtree and John Brown out of the fold, the only returning contributors from last season are Willie Snead IV and Chris Moore. Jordan Lasley and Jaleel Scott are also on the roster but neither saw the field last year. Brown’s departure only increases the chances that the Ravens address the receiver position in the draft. It’s also possible that they could sign a free agent or two, although the market isn’t too rich at the position.
