The Baltimore Ravens selected North Carolina wide receiver Devontez Walker with the 113th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Walker, known for his deep-threat capabilities, adds a new dimension to the Ravens' receiving corps. His selection marks the ninth time the Ravens have chosen a wide receiver in the fourth round, a testament to their drafting strategy. Walker's impressive performance at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he recorded one of the fastest 40-yard dash times among receivers at 4.36 seconds, underscored his potential as a significant asset for quarterback Lamar Jackson. Walker, standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 193 pounds, also ranked highly in the broad and vertical jumps at the combine. However, his route running was noted as his biggest knock. Walker has expressed excitement about playing with Jackson, a sentiment he shared after connecting with the Ravens' wide receiver coach at the Combine.
