Ravens QB Depth Chart: Can Diego Pavia rise to become Lamar Jackson's backup? Undrafted QB faces tough path

For now, Pavia and Fangnano should be considered co-developmental No. 3s.

How Diego Pavia's skill set fits with the Ravens

The Ravens’ new offense under Declan Doyle should again be rooted in the running game, much like Todd Monken’s scheme. Baltimore also wants to open up the downfield passing game a bit more for Lamar Jackson and reloaded in the draft with big-bodied wide receivers and athletic tight ends.

Doyle came from the Bears, where he worked with Caleb Williams. There should be more pocket-passing concepts while still making good use of athletic quarterbacks. Pavia’s arm strength is questionable, so he must be highly accurate and maximize his running ability to impress. He also has to use the chip on his shoulder, matching his mental toughness with the physical toughness he shows despite his undersized 5-foot-10, 207-pound frame.

How Diego Pavia compares to Joe Fagnano

Fagnano isn't a better athlete than Pavia and won't offer much of a running element behind Jackson and Huntley. But he has prototypical size for the pocket at 6-3, 226 pounds with better intangibles, experience and decision-making. He also needs to show improved arm strength and accuracy to be carried by the Ravens.

Fagnano has natural skills that can be developed but he hasn't had the same high-profile moments. Pavia outplayed his talent in the SEC for sure and despite some concerns about him off the field, he is feisty and needs to bring all of his competitive nature into the battle with Fagnano.

Will Diego Pavia make the Ravens' roster?

Pavia has a fair chance of sticking for Baltimore, but Fagnano is on even ground earlier and Huntley is locked into being Jackson's familiar backup, even in a new offense.

There's an uphill battle, but Pavia can make the final cut or stay on the practice squad over Fagnano but Pavia needs to play with the bigger chip on shoulder to win the competition for further time in the NFL.
