Ravens Select Wide Receiver Marquise Brown in NFL Draft

The 2019 NFL Draft took place in April. Baltimore, under new general manager Eric DeCosta, selected wide receiver Marquise Brown with its first-round pick, 25th overall. Although the Ravens don't have an exemplary record in drafting wide receivers, Brown was considered one of the most explosive playmakers available and should present a much-needed target for quarterback Lamar Jackson, especially following the departures of John Brown and Michael Crabtree. 

At 5 feet 10 inches and 175 pounds, Brown's size is of concern. He is also recovering from Lisfranc surgery after a foot injury in the Big 12 championship game of December 1, 2018. He isn't expected to be cleared for practice until July. 

Brown’s numbers, however, speak to his impressive abilities. In two seasons at the University of Oklahoma, Brown registered 17 touchdowns and 2,413 receiving yards, the latter leading the Big 12 at that time.
