GOODBYE: John Harbaugh announced that he is leaving Baltimore Ravens today after significant issue in the team….

How will the Ravens draft pick be affected by Lamar Jackson?

FLORENCE, ORLANDO — Quarterback Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens is better than the current NFL MVP. Plus, he works as a scout part-time.

Harbaugh mentioned that Jackson has been discussing his opinions on college prospects at tight end and wide receiver during the NFL’s annual meetings last week.

Harbaugh remarked, “He is looking at guys now.” “On a few guys, he and I both agree. As of yet, we have not differed on anyone. Together, we are sharing our vision.

Jackson would be evaluating draft prospects for the second year in a row. Following the 2022 campaign, Jackson provided South Florida-born receivers on a list and detailed analysis of each draft pick to Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta.

With the No. 22 pick last year, Baltimore ultimately selected wide receiver Zay Flowers, a native of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

“He has strong opinions about all these guys, too,” DeCosta stated in the previous year. He has a great deal of loyalty to the players from that region of the nation views regarding Zay. He was ecstatic to finally have him.”

The wide receiver position is once again a need for the Ravens, who own the No. 30 pick. Odell Beckham Jr. was cut by Baltimore, and Devin Duvernay left in free agency. Rashod Bateman is entering the final year of his rookie deal, however the team may choose to pick up his fifth-year option. Nelson Agholor is returning on a one-year agreement.

The Ravens are more likely to select an offensive lineman or edge rusher in the first round, but several mock drafts have connected Baltimore to wide receivers such as Xavier Worthy of Texas, Keon Coleman of Florida State, and Ladd McConkey of Georgia. In their 28-year history, the Ravens have selected 33 wide receivers, seven of whom have been selected in the last six years.

“Some of these guys are like race cars; they break down sometimes,” DeCosta remarked in February at the NFL combine. Therefore, having depth at that position is essential, as this year has shown. This year, we believe we set up the room very successfully and managed to get a few injuries in the process. We shall examine that, then It’s a really, really deep draft year, in my opinion. As a receiver, this draft class is quite impressive.”

Further changes will be made to the remainder of the offensive. In order to replace three starters on the offensive line—guards Kevin Zeitler and John Simpson and tackle Morgan Moses—Baltimore signed running back Derrick Henry in free agency.

Without a doubt, it will look different, according to Harbaugh. “Keeping things moving is the one thing we really believe in. It will never remain the same.”

Jackson will play a significant role in the Ravens’ offense, which is starting its second season under coordinator Todd Monken, according to Harbaugh once again. Before departing for the offseason, Jackson gave the coaches his suggestions regarding personnel and scheme.

“He’ll return, and he’ll review everything, and we’ll be interested in hearing his thoughts,” Harbaugh remarked. “For example, ‘Which would you rather have? Do you feel more at ease going in that route or this one? What appeals to you? Since our last conversation, have you had any more ideas? He’ll play a significant role in the offensive scheme, in my opinion.”
