We dive into what this means for the defense, whether it should change the Ravens' offseason approach at all, and how they should move forward from here.

We also cover Day 1 of voluntary minicamp, Jesse Minter's first practice as head coach, early team energy, and key takeaways from the new coaching staff.

In today's episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down a major shift in the AFC North as the Bengals land Dexter Lawrence and what that means for the Ravens moving forward.

We dive into why the offensive line is still the top priority heading into the draft, the need to add real competition — especially at center — and how the Ravens could approach pick 14 depending on how the board falls.

We also discuss the upcoming decision on Zay Flowers' 5th-year option and why an extension still makes sense, plus the growing interest around DJ Reader and why the Ravens may need to act quickly after the draft.

In today's episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down the biggest takeaways from the Baltimore Ravens' pre-draft press conference — and there's more to this than just a "liars luncheon".

Eric DeCosta discusses how the new coaching staff (led by Jesse Minter) could impact the way the Ravens evaluate talent moving forward. There were some real signals about how this team is approaching the draft.

One of the biggest themes? The Ravens are doubling down on what players do well, and that philosophy — combined with a staff with deep college experience — could quietly give them an edge heading into draft night.

We also get into:

• Why this draft class may have fewer "true" draftable players than usual
• Why the Nnamdi Madubuike situation won't impact their draft strategy
• The latest on a potential Dexter Lawrence trade — and why it may not be realistic
• The challenge of drafting older prospects in today's NFL
• And a quick update on the Ravens' new helmet + jersey reveal 👀

This press conference may not have given everything away… but if you listen closely, there are definitely clues.
