The\u00a0B<\/a>altimore Ravens\u00a0have been one of the best teams in the\u00a0NFL\u00a0when it comes to turning draft capital into star power. Round 1 has been incredibly kind, with\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Lamar Jackson\u00a0being followed by the likes of center Tyler Linderbaum, receiver Zay Flowers, safety\u00a0Kyle Hamilton, and corner Nate Higgins.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve found success on Day 2 as well. Tight end Mark Andrews, defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike, and right tackle Roger Rosengarten are among the contributors Baltimore has added on the way to\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0contention.<\/p>\n

With one of the league\u2019s top rosters, general manager Eric DeCosta is able to get creative with his drafts.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Ravens\u00a0took a page out of the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 playbook in\u00a0Pro Football and Sports Network\u2019s three-round mock draft\u00a0by adding a quarterback in Round 3. Before that, Baltimore spent its Round 1 selection on Arizona State receiver Jordyn Tyson.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u200b\u200bProjected to be a top receiver selection in next year\u2019s draft, Jordyn Tyson stands out as one of the nation\u2019s premier talents,\u201d Brentley Weissman wrote. \u201cHis exceptional speed, reliable hands, and precise route running enable him to excel both in the slot and out wide.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the Ravens\u2019 efforts to bolster Lamar Jackson\u2019s supporting cast, they would significantly benefit from adding Tyson. His skills would seamlessly complement and enhance the Ravens\u2019 current receiving corps.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Round 2,\u00a0Baltimore\u00a0picked LSU corner Mansoor Delante. To cap off Day 2, Weissman added Michigan State quarterback Aidan Chiles. The Spartan passer is a raw product, but with promising athleticism and a big arm, he checks the boxes the Ravens have looked for in Jackson-like backup quarterbacks.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s value in a strong backup quarterback, but a bet on a Day 2 quarterback is a bet on him playing for somebody else. If Jackson goes down with an injury and Chiles flashes like a franchise quarterback, history suggests somebody would be willing to pay Baltimore for his services. That return on investment adds to the insurance he\u2019d provide.<\/p>\n

Jackson isn\u2019t going anywhere anytime soon, but that doesn\u2019t make an out-of-the-box pick a bad-process decision.<\/p>\n
