With the 2024 NFL draft over, the Ravens have turned their attention to the undrafted market.
Baltimore entered the draft with 60 players and made nine picks, leaving space to add a big class. Here’s a look at the 22 announced additions (listed in alphabetical order):

Maryland safety Beau Brade: The Clarksville native and former River Hill star surprisingly wasn’t picked despite being ranked No. 143 overall on the consensus big board. But he’ll get a chance to compete for a roster spot with the team he grew up rooting for. The 6-foot, 203-pound Brade led the Terps in tackles each of the past two seasons, twice earning All-Big Ten honorable mention. The team captain had three interceptions, 14 passes defended and eight tackles for loss combined over the past two seasons while missing just one game because of injury.

His time in the shuttle (4.11 seconds) and three-cone (6.98 seconds) drills were faster than any edge defender at the combine.
Duke defensive tackle Ja’Mion Franklin: The Ridgely native and former North Caroline High School standout started his career at Notre Dame before transferring to Duke ahead of the 2021 season. In 50 career games (including 26 consecutive starts at defensive tackle to finish his career), the 6-1, 311-pound Franklin recorded 70 tackles, 8 1/2 tackles for loss, four sacks, two fumble recoveries, six passes defended and two quarterback pressures. The 2023 team captain put up 36 reps in the bench press at his pro day, which would have ranked second at this year’s combine.
