The Baltimore Ravens selected pass-rusher Jayson Oweh out of Penn State 31st overall in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Ravens acquired the pick from the Kansas City Chiefs in the Orlando Brown trade.
Baltimore addressed its two greatest roster weaknesses Thursday night, adding wide receiver Rashod Bateman 27th overall in addition to Oweh.
Oweh is an athletic freak and joins Pernell McPhee, Jaylon Ferguson, and Tyus Bowser on Baltimore's edge.

Key stats: 0 sacks, 6.5 TFLs, 38 tackles
Athleticism is a must for edge players in today's NFL, and Oweh checks those boxes in just about every way imaginable. His freakish abilities were on full display at the Penn State Pro Day, where he ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, posted wildly rare explosion scores with his jumps, and showed similarly unbelievable short-area quickness with his shuttle and 3-cone times. The technical aspects of his game are still a work in progress, and he'll need to get stronger for the next level, so his new team may need to be patient. But the draft is a long-term game, and Oweh is about as intriguing of an upside pick as you can make. With a little time to develop, he could be a superstar.
