Baltimore Ravens' 2019 draft: Analysis for every pick

My take: This was a bold first pick by new Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta. Spurning the franchise’s awful track record in drafting wide receivers, DeCosta selected the most explosive playmaker in this year’s class and gave a much-needed weapon on the outside for quarterback Lamar Jackson. Brown has terrifying speed and can score a touchdown every time he touches the ball. He has the ability to take the top off defenses and turn short passes into long gains. Nicknamed “Hollywood” because of the town he grew up in Florida, Brown instantly upgrades one of the most suspect wide receiver groups in the NFL.
