• Malaki Starks is expected to pair with Kyle Hamilton to form one of the NFL's most promising young safety duos.
• Mike Green’s draft slide stemmed from unresolved sexual assault allegations, which he has denied, drawing criticism of the Ravens’ decision-making amid heightened scrutiny from the NFL's ongoing investigation into kicker Justin Tucker.
• Baltimore's draft strategy, led by GM Eric DeCosta, was lauded for its disciplined approach of letting higher-ranked players fall to them.
• Analysts questioned the immediate impact of several late-round picks, citing limited experience against top-tier competition as a concern.
