Ravens

Ravens GM Eric DeCosta commented on scouting the 2023 quarterback draft class, despite everything that is currently going on with QB Lamar Jackson.

“I was trained as a scout; I started out as a scout,” DeCosta said, via RavensWire.com.”That’s kind of what my development was, as [a scout]. So, I scout everybody anyways. I don’t really short-change [scouting]. I love football, I love the art of evaluation. I’m going to look at all the top players, I’m going to do the top 150 players in every single Draft class, and I’ve done that. I look at the top guys in free agency. I enjoy it, and so for me, that’s not something that changes from year to year; that’s just a part of the process. To build a Draft board, you have to look at the players, [and] you have to evaluate the players. Someone has to do it; I would rather have it be me than somebody else.”
