The Ravens continued to upgrade their secondary with the selection of Alabama cornerback Marlon Humphrey in the first round of the NFL Draft April 27, and they are expected to address critical areas of need when the draft resumes at 7 p.m. April 28.
The selection of Humphrey was a surprise to many, given other defensive options available, and the fact the Ravens had already signed safety Tony Jefferson and cornerback Brandon Carr during free agency. But general manager Ozzie Newsome made clear that Humphrey was "by far" the best available player when the Ravens were on the clock at No. 16.
Still, the Ravens enter the second round of the draft still needing an edge rusher, wide receiver and offensive linemen, and linebacker and defensive line are also areas of concern after key offseason losses.
