OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens picked Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins with the 30th pick in the NFL draft Thursday night, boosting their secondary late in a first round light on defensive selections.
Baltimore fought through injuries in the secondary last season, when the Ravens posted the best record in the NFL during the regular season. This is the first time since 2017 that Baltimore took a cornerback in the first round. The Ravens picked Marlon Humphrey that year, and he’s still with the team.
Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean was also available when Baltimore’s turn came up, but the Ravens opted to go with the speedy Wiggins, who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.28 seconds at the NFL’s scouting combine in March.
Other needs for the Ravens include the offensive line, where the team must replace three starters from last season.
