The Ravens have cashed in on the annual compensatory pick allotment again this year, receiving an extra third-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Baltimore’s extra pick will be the 35th selection in the third round and 99th overall, which is tied for the highest compensatory pick in Ravens history.
The Ravens were awarded the pick after losing guard Kelechi Osemele in free agency to the Oakland Raiders last year. Osemele signed a five-year deal worth a reported $58.5 million with $25.4 million guaranteed, then went to his first Pro Bowl.
Only two other teams got better compensatory picks: the Miami Dolphins for losing defensive end Olivier Vernon to the New York Giants, and the Carolina Panthers for losing Josh Norman to the Washington Redskins.
