The Baltimore Ravens have made one of their priorities clear, and it's a bit unexpected.
They've taken two wide receivers by early in the fourth round of the NFL Draft.
And with the 115th pick in the fourth round on Saturday, they chose national champion Elijah Sarratt out of Indiana.
All of a sudden, the depth chart behind Zay Flowers is wide open.

Bateman signed a three-year contract before the 2025 season.
It's hard to see him making it to the end of that now.
Would the Ravens trade him this offseason? That's hard to say. They may not want to push the Ravens into too quick of action.

Lane and Sarratt are both bigger targets than the small and shifty Flowers. They should complement him well.
Lamar Jackson can certainly work on building up quality relationships with these rookies for years to come.
Look out, Bateman. This isn't good news for the veteran WR.
