Eric DeCosta values Ravens 11 picks but leaves room to move

With 11 picks entering the draft, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said the current total should be viewed as a starting point rather than a final number, noting that Baltimore could move up or down depending on how the board unfolds.

DeCosta emphasized that the team’s flexibility is tied directly to value and opportunity as players come off the board.

“Well, I like having 11 picks right now. I think that's a starting point. And we may end up with 14, or we may end up with six. It just depends on the board and how the players come off the board and what we think of the best opportunities for us to improve as a team. So, it gives us a lot of currency to start the draft process, but I think where we finish remains to be seen."

For Baltimore, the emphasis remains on adaptability heading into draft weekend, with DeCosta again framing draft capital as something to be used as situations dictate rather than protected for its own sake.
