Mel Kiper Jr. bets majority of Ravens 2018 draft will be offensive players

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. believes the Baltimore Ravens will use this year's draft to upgrade the supporting cast around quarterback Joe Flacco.

"They got to get receivers. They got to get a tight end," Kiper said on the First Draft podcast. "They know they're going to draft offense. They went defense heavy last year. I wouldn't say offense-only draft, but I bet you 90 percent of their picks are offensive selections."

If that's the case, the Ravens would use seven of their eight picks on offensive players, which would place much-needed resources toward the NFL's 27th-ranked offense.
