OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore Ravens rookie general manager Eric DeCosta waited his entire life to make a selection in the NFL draft, so delaying the moment for a few extra minutes wasn’t much of a hardship. When the wait was over, DeCosta selected wide receiver Marquise Brown of Oklahoma. And by trading the 22nd overall pick to the Eagles on Thursday night, DeCosta netted a couple of extra draft choices before selecting Brown at No. 25 overall.
Main Idea: The Baltimore Ravens traded down in the first round and used the extra picks to select Oklahoma receiver Marquise Brown.
Key Points:
No clear negative impact identified.
The Ravens’ move to add Marquise Brown may boost local fan interest and team revenue, while the extra draft picks could help Baltimore build a stronger roster over time.
