Following an AFC Championship Game appearance and another MVP campaign from dynamic QB Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens are primed to be one of the NFL’s best teams yet again next season.

But, Balitmore’s front office needs to continue to excel if they want to extend this period of sustained success, and that all starts with the NFL Draft. As the event approaches, platforms like the Parx app are offering fans exciting opportunities to engage with the NFL Draft through sports betting.

The Ravens' 2024 NFL draft picks are as follows:

• Round 1, Pick 30
• Round 2, Pick 62
• Round 3, Pick 93
• Round 4, Pick 130
• Round 5, Pick 163
• Round 7, Pick 225 (from NYJ)
• Round 7, Pick 247

The Ravens are going to have nearly all of their draft picks available in 2024, with only some small shuffles in the later rounds. They traded their 6th-round pick to Cleveland during last year's draft to move up and select guard Jason Vorhees out of Penn State and received an extra 7th-round pick from the Jets in exchange for former starting safety Chuck Clark.

The Ravens 2023 draft was admittedly a bit of a mixed bag. There’s no denying that they nailed their first-round pick, selecting Boston College receiver Zay Flowers 22nd overall. Flowers has gone on to be an integral part of Baltimore's offense, getting over 900 yards from scrimmage adding a level of dynamism the team was desperately lacking in the passing game.

But, the rest of the draft class hasn’t seen much success. 3rd round LB Trenton Simpson and 4th round DE Tavius Robinson were both solid depth options, but the rest of the class either failed to make a significant impact or didn’t end up making the roster entirely.

With many key pieces set to leave the team in 2024 free agency, including Kyle Van Noy, Gus Edwards, Kevin Zeitler, and more, the Ravens will have to do a better job down the line during the upcoming 2024 draft to find more immediate impact players.

Some positions they could target include:

• Offensive Line: With multiple linemen leaving in free agency (Kevin Zeitler, John Simpson, Sam Mustipher) and others like Morgan Moses and Ronnie Stanley struggling through injuries, all signs are pointing to Baltimore going OL early in the 2024 draft. Some names to look out for include Troy Fautanu, Jordan Morgan, and Graham Barton.
• Outside Linebacker: Jadeveon Clowney and Kyle Van Noy combined for 18.5 sacks last year and, with both set to leave in free agency, Baltimore will be in search of some immediate high-impact replacements, perhaps in the first round instead of OL. Keep a close eye on edge rusher Darius Robinson out of Missouri here, the physical specimen has been mocked in Baltimore by several industry experts.
• Wide Receiver: Hitting on Flowers last summer was a big win, but the Ravens will need to add some depth behind him with multiple vets set to hit the free-agent market. Some mid-round options to the eye include Tez Walker, Roman Wilson, and Ricky Pearsall.
