Ravens Receive Sixth-Round Compensatory Pick in 2018 Draft

The Ravens will have an extra pick at their disposal for the 2018 NFL Draft.

Baltimore received a sixth-round compensatory pick (No. 215 overall), the NFL announced Friday afternoon.

Compensatory picks are awarded to teams who lose players as unrestricted free agents. According to the NFL Management Council, a team losing more or better free agents than it acquired in the previous year is eligible to receive picks. To determine "better" free agents, the council looks at average salaries, playing time and postseason awards.

The players the Ravens lost in free agency were right tackle Rick Wagner, fullback Kyle Juszczyk, defensive end Lawrence Guy, wide receiver Kamar Aiken and offensive guard Vladimir Ducasse.
