There are many ways to build a team, and free agency is certainly one key component.

General Manager Ozzie Newsome made a key move by re-signing left tackle Eugene Monroe on Tuesday within an hour of free agency opening.

But a look at the current Ravens roster shows Baltimore is built much more through the draft.
