Ravens select Devontez Walker in 4th round

The Baltimore Ravens selected North Carolina wide receiver Devontez Walker in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 113th overall.

Walker earned third-team All-ACC honors in 2023 after totaling 699 yards on 41 receptions in eight games.

The 22-year-old is a lethal deep threat, consistently burning defensive backs deep during his college career. He ran a 4.36 40-yard dash at the combine and will immediately help the Ravens stretch the field.

Pre-draft profile

Walker may be this class' ultimate swing-or-miss receiver prospect. The North Carolina wideout is capable of being a giant vertical threat with his size and 4.3 speed. Once he pushes downfield, his catch radius does the rest. The only issue, though, is Walker is sort of a one-trick pony. His route tree is essentially limited to being a home-run threat as he needs a lot of polish. He's a developmental vertical threat at this point, but he's probably not one you want to bypass.
