The Baltimore Ravens put together an impressive 11-player rookie class over the course of the 2022 draft. They’ve already seen big contributions from players such as safety Kyle Hamilton and center Tyler Linderbaum, and they’ll look to add even more talent in the 2023 draft once it comes about.
While there’s still plenty of time before next year’s draft, Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports put together his latest 2023 NFL mock draft in which he has Baltimore selecting at No. 27 overall. He has the team selecting star Tennessee wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, who Wilson calls a “bona fide deep threat”.
“Hyatt wasn’t in the first-round conversation heading into the season but he’s a great example of a player taking advantage of his opportunities, thanks in large part to Hendon Hooker’s Heisman Trophy campaign. Hyatt is a bona fide deep threat who consistently stacks defensive backs who have been helpless to do much about it all season.”
Hyatt has burst onto the scene during his junior season in 2022, catching 67 passes for 1,267 yards and 15 touchdowns, averaging 18.9 yards per catch. He’s a speedy player that wins off of the line with ease, and can track the football well while also having a very big catch radius. He profiles to succeed at the NFL level, and Baltimore could use the 6-foot, 175-pound receiver in their offense in a multitude of ways.
