The Baltimore Ravens have made a move that could significantly impact undrafted rookie quarterback Diego Pavia's chances of making the NFL roster. By signing veteran journeyman Skylar Thompson on Monday, the Ravens are adding depth and experience to their quarterback room—and potentially closing the door on Pavia's path to the active roster.

Thompson, while not a starting-caliber QB, brings valuable mobility that fits Baltimore's offensive system. His experience gives the Ravens a reliable option they can trust in a pinch, which is exactly what teams look for in a third-string quarterback.

Here's the current pecking order in Baltimore: Tyler Huntley is locked in as Lamar Jackson's primary backup, leaving only the QB3 role—and possibly a practice squad spot—up for grabs. With Thompson now in the mix, that competition just got stiffer.

Pavia, the former Vanderbilt standout who turned heads in college, is one of two undrafted rookies fighting for a spot alongside UConn's Joe Fagnano. While Thompson likely won't settle for a practice squad role, Pavia's best hope may be to outplay Fagnano for that developmental position.

Thompson's signing signals that the Ravens value proven depth over raw potential at this stage. For Pavia, the road to an NFL roster just got a little longer, but the rookie will have every chance to prove he's worth developing—even if it means starting on the practice squad.
