In a move that surprised no one, the Baltimore Ravens selected wide receiver Zay Flowers with the 22nd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft (russellstreetreport.com). Flowers, who played for Boston College, caught the attention of the Ravens coaching staff with his impressive highlight reel, which showcased his speed and agility (ravenswire.usatoday.com).
Flowers had his sights set on being drafted by the Ravens, as he previously worked with Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes in Texas and expressed a desire to play alongside him in the pros (chiefswire.usatoday.com). However, not all fans were on board with the pick, especially those of the New England Patriots, who had hoped to draft Flowers (nesn.com).
Despite the doubts of some fans, analysts express that the Ravens made a smart choice in selecting Flowers, grading the pick “A+++” (touchdownwire.usatoday.com). According to one analyst, Flowers did “more with less at quarterback than any other top receiver in this class” (touchdownwire.usatoday.com).
Flowers is expected to add depth to the Ravens’ wide receiver roster and is excited to work alongside Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ravenswire.usatoday.com). Only time will tell how Flowers will perform in the NFL, but fans and analysts alike are eager to see what he can do on the field.
