The saga of quarterback Lamar Jackson still hangs in the balance. Accordingly, the Baltimore Ravens need to start thinking about a new quarterback. Will they get one in the first round of the upcoming draft? According to general manager Eric DeCosta, quite conceivable.

For five years, the Baltimore Ravens didn’t have to worry about their future at the quarterback position. That time is now over.

In early March, Lamar Jackson asked the Ravens to let him go. It is unlikely that Jackson will play for the Ravens again.

So who could be his successor? Possibly one of the top quarterbacks in the draft. Eric DeCosta, general manager of the Ravens, did not rule out this possibility.

DeCosta impressed with quarterback class

In a media roundtable, he talked about the quarterbacks in the upcoming talent draft. “I think more than four guys can definitely be impressive players in this league,” DeCosta said.

So will the Ravens potentially pick up one of them? “It depends,” the 51-year-old kept mum. “But actually, I have to say yes, because on our Big Board, the first 31 names include quarterbacks. By logic, I have to say yes. “

The Ravens only sure thing for next year is playmaker Anthony Brown. Lamar Jackson won’t sign his franchise tag and Tyler Huntley is a restricted free agent.

The Ravens hold the 22nd pick for next year’s draft. However, there is not much capital to trade up, the team has a total of only five picks in the upcoming talent draft.
