NFL Draft: Ravens place higher emphasis on production

The Baltimore Ravens have changed the way they approach the NFL Draft. They have a huge list of draft hits starting in 1996. Ozzie Newsome’s best player available model is still in place however it seems like the way they determine the best player available has changed. Eric DeCosta obviously has an eye on production at the college level.

Every prospect has three things that make up the way the NFL sees them. They have game tape, production and measurables. The game tape is supposed to be the biggest factor in a player’s evaluation. If the team likes the game tape of several players, they will likely end up in a debate.
