Brown: I agree that all 11 draft picks are unlikely to make the 53-man roster. The Ravens are too talented for that to happen unless the injury bug hits them harder during training camp and preseason than it has the past couple years.
However, I could easily see at least nine rookies making the roster. Start with the top five picks, along with Loop and Wester. That gets you to seven picks, and Peebles could be in the defensive tackle rotation.
Certainly, the competition will be stiff for Dellinger because the Ravens drafted three offensive linemen and signed veteran tackle Joseph Noteboom. The same is true for Kone and Longerbeam. The Ravens have a deep and talented depth chart at corner, and it became deeper when they signed Chidobe Awuzie this offseason.
However, I’m not ruling out any of the 11 draft picks making the roster at this point. The Ravens have a history of giving all rookies and undrafted free agents a legitimate chance to impress the coaching staff. The final roster cuts will be difficult, but even if everyone in this rookie class doesn’t stick with the Ravens, they could all eventually make an NFL roster.
