The Baltimore Ravens selected nine players in the 2024 NFL draft, with only Nate Wiggins (Rd 1 pick 30) and Roger Rosengarten (Rd 2 pick 62) finishing the year as starters or key contributors.
Rosengarten’s 1,066 snaps were the sixth most on offense, while 769 snaps were the seventh most on the Ravens defense that struggled against the pass early on but improved down the stretch.
Third-round pick Adisa Isaac played 32 defensive snaps, while former Iowa State star cornerback T.J. Tampa played just 18. Rasheen Ali played 29 snaps on offense, while Devontez Walker played just 60.
With the off-season progressing, we’re handing out our own final grades for the 2024 rookie class ahead of free agency.

Wiggins was the Ravens highest graded rookie and looks like a future star after recording 33 tackles while playing 15 games for the Ravens this season, while also starting in each of the team’s playoff games. Wiggins’s 769 snaps were the seventh most on the Ravens defense that struggled against the pass early on but improved down the stretch.
Round 2 • Pick 30 (62) • OT Roger Rosengarten –A

Rosengarten didn’t win the starting job in training camp and began the season rotating with Patrick Mekari. Rosengarten saw elite pass rushers from Day 1 when he joined the Ravens. Still, the former Washington Huskies offensive tackle improved, battled, and finished the year as one of the best players on a solid offensive line. Rosengarten was the ninth tackle selected in last April’s NFL draft and earned a spot on the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie team. Rosengarten’s 1,066 snaps were the sixth most on offense,
Rosengarten and No. 5-overall pick Joe Alt of the Los Angeles Chargers were the all-rookie offensive tackles. After alternating snaps in the first three weeks, Rosengarten took over as the Ravens’ starting right tackle in Week 4 and never looked back, starting 16 games (including the playoffs). Among offensive tackles who played at least 50% of the snaps, Rosengarten ranked No. 39 at his position, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). He was credited with four sacks allowed in 488 pass-blocking snaps.
Round 3 • Pick 30 (93) • EDGE Adisa Isaac — No grade

Third-round pick Adisa Isaac saw action in four games and played 32 defensive snaps, as his NFL debut was delayed by a hamstring issue, which sidelined him for the Ravens‘ first two games.
Round 4 • Pick 13 (113) • WR Devontez Walker — C
