Re: Ravens Didn't Want A Center In Draft
Or Packers. Bateman was RIGHT at the end of his range when we took him and he honestly could've gone to Indy instead of Toney and nobody would've batted an eye. I think EDC broke a few hearts in the late 1st when he made that pick. I'm sure there was a lot of grumbling and clenched fists in NO/GB war rooms when that pick was announced.
Bateman's rocky 2020 combined with a star studded WR class funneled him right into our lap and we got a player that should've been a top 20 pick all day.

Re: Ravens Didn't Want A Center In Draft
Saw that as well, great value picks.
Chase, Waddle, Devonta helped the Ravens out a ton, they changed the landscape of the draft and kept WR needy teams away from Bateman early
I don't think Corey Davis (who was a MAC player) was any more impressive of a prospect than Bateman and he went top 5 in a sub-par WR class, little more size is all you can really say. We lucked out getting a premium WR prospect as late as we did, in most draft classes Bateman would've been far more hyped and sought after.

Re: Ravens Didn't Want A Center In Draft
Bateman had that big drop off his last year while Davis didn't. Davis also had the advantage of a great Combine which really hyped him up. He also doesn't have just a little more size. Davis is 6'3 and was almost 20 pounds heavier when he was drafted. That's a lot of size. Teams go nuts for guys that size/speed ratio.
Davis never came close to matching what they had projected him to be but John Ross went just 4 picks later so it could have been a lot worse.
