The NFL Draft begins at 8 p.m. ET, but the Ravens aren’t expected to draft for a few hours afterward.
We’ve reached the final hours before the 2024 NFL Draft arrives, but the hours before the official beginning of the draft won’t begin until 8 p.m. ET. And when it kicks off, the Ravens, if they remain at No. 30 overall, won’t be on the clock for hours more. So, when will the Ravens make their pick?
Here’s a brief look back in history of when the last five No. 30 overall selections were taken.
In 2023, the Philadelphia Eagles picked linebacker Nolan Smith at No. 30 at 11:45 p.m.
