Updated November 5, 2019 823 votes 55 voters24 items

List RulesBased only on career success with Baltimore Ravens. Only picks made during Super Bowl era (since 1967).

The Baltimore Ravens' first-round draft picks have been a tremendous success from the start. In fact, the first two Ravens draft picks in franchise history, Ray Lewis and Jonathan Ogden, both made the Hall of Fame. They are joined by Ed Reed among the best draft picks in Baltimore Ravens history, which include some of the best NFL players of all time. With two Super Bowls, three Hall of Famers, and numerous Pro Bowlers, whatever the Ravens are doing in the NFL draft, it seems to be working.

So who has been the top first-round draft pick in Ravens history? The stats below reflect only players' time spent with the Ravens, and that's what you should consider when voting. How much did these players help the team that drafted them?
