As the Baltimore Ravens wrapped up their 2017 draft on April 29, team officials stressed that the heavy emphasis on defense has made the team better, and dismissed concerns about the fact that they did not draft any offensive skill position players for the first time in team history.
The Ravens concluded their draft process with three third-day picks, selecting a pair of offensive linemen and a sixth-round safety. Those players join the four defensive players selected by the Ravens in three rounds of the draft.
"We have, no doubt in our mind, made our football team better," general manager Ozzie Newsome said.
