OWINGS MILLS, Md. — After months of anticipation, the Ravens finally made Notre Dame left tackle Ronnie Stanley their earliest pick in 16 years as the NFL draft got underway in Chicago on Thursday night.
General manager Ozzie Newsome began the draft with nine scheduled selections, including seven choices in the first 134 overall picks. Coming off their first losing season of the John Harbaugh era, the Ravens hope to continue their tradition of draft excellence in which they’ve selected 17 Pro Bowl players and 10 first-team All-Pro players over the last two decades.
Player personnel assistants Corey Krawiec and Patrick McDonough will represent the organization in Chicago while Newsome and the rest of the Ravens’ brass will be stationed at their Owings Mills headquarters.
The three-day event will continue with the second and third rounds on Friday evening and the final four rounds on Saturday afternoon. Teams will have 10 minutes to pick in the first round, seven in the second round, and five minutes for each pick in the final five rounds.
Below is a look at where the Ravens are scheduled to pick:
Round 1 (6th overall) — LT Ronnie Stanley, Notre Dame

Round 3 (70th overall) —

Right Now in Baltimore
The Ravens go on the clock with Pick 14 and then move to 'Super Bowl' time
The purple land of hopes and expectations begins on Thursday night with the NFL Draft. Luke Jones and Nestor get you ready for a myriad of draft possibilities and outcomes for Eric DeCosta and the Baltimore Ravens under rookie head coach Jesse Minter. We'll be picking and opining all weekend as spring hopes remain eternal in Owings Mills.
When will the frozen Orioles bats thaw this spring?
Sure, it's not the lineup that manager Craig Albernaz envisioned back in Sarasota in February but the Orioles need to figure out how to stop striking out and start hitting with runners in scoring position. Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones discussed the Birds' struggles, including a five-game losing streak and scuffling through Kansas City waiting for the roster to get healthier and more productive.
Who can Orioles really count on to "pitch" in as innings add up?
Is there an "ace" in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin...and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds' pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.
