The Baltimore Ravens addressed key gaps in their roster during this year's NFL Draft, building upon a successful 12-5 season. General manager Eric DeCosta was proactive in his selections, particularly lauding the acquisition of safety Malaki Starks with the 27th overall pick. This move has drawn praise from analysts, including NFL.com’s Gennaro Filice, who highlighted Starks as a perfect fit within the Ravens' defensive scheme. His versatility, alongside Kyle Hamilton, promises to enhance Baltimore's secondary, which DeCosta emphasized as critical for preventing losses. The Ravens' commitment to strengthening their defense is evident through their continuous trend of prioritizing defensive backs in early rounds since their inception.
