The Baltimore Ravens have a reasonably short history of first-round NFL Draft picks since the franchise was founded in 1996. In their short history, they have never selected first overall, and their first two choices as a franchise went on to become Hall of Fame players. Let’s examine the Ravens’ first-round draft picks throughout their franchise history.
