List of Baltimore Ravens first-round draft picks
- List of Baltimore Ravens first-round draft picks
This is a list of first-round draft picks made by the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League. The Ravens joined the NFL in 1996 as an expansion team, after former-Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell decided to relocate his team to Baltimore. The Browns were later reactivated in 1999. The Ravens' first selection as an NFL team was Jonathan Ogden, an offensive lineman from UCLA. The team's most recent first round selection was Joe Flacco, a quarterback from the University of Delaware.
Every year during April, each NFL franchise seeks to add new players to its roster through a collegiate draft known as "the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting", which is more commonly known as the NFL Draft. Teams are ranked in inverse order based on the previous season's record, with the worst record picking first, and the second worst picking second and so on. The two exceptions to this order are made for teams that appeared in the previous Super Bowl; the Super Bowl champion "always" picks 32nd, and the Super Bowl loser "always" picks 31st. Teams have the option of trading away their picks to other teams for different picks, players, cash, or a combination thereof. Thus, it is not uncommon for a team's actual draft pick to differ from their assigned draft pick, or for a team to have extra or no draft picks in any round due to these trades.
The Ravens have never selected the number one overall pick in the draft, but they have selected the fourth overall pick twice. Their first-round picks have included three players from Miami (Florida) and two from Arizona State. They have also made first-round picks from two different schools in the University of California system.
