From landing Georgia safety Malaki Starks with the No. 27 overall pick to LSU guard Garrett Dellinger with the No. 243 pick in the seventh round, general manager Eric DeCosta landed an impressive draft class that could help Baltimore for years to come. CBS Sports' Pete Prisco gave the Ravens a "B+" for DeCosta's efforts in last week's draft.

NFL draft kicked off on Thursday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Baltimore Ravens made 11 of the draft's 257 picks, which began with the No. 27 selection on Day 1 of the three-day event. My take: This is perhaps the best defensive fit of the first round.

Before that, former first round draft picks Zay Flowers (2023), Kyle Hamilton (2022), Tyler Linderbaum (2022), Rashod Bateman (2021), Odafe Oweh (2021), two-time MVP Lamar Jackson (2018), Marlon Humphrey (2017) and Ronnie Stanley (2016) remain key contributors for the Ravens.
