WR Rashod Bateman, 1st round

2021 stats: 12 games, 4 starts, 46 receptions, 515 yards, 1 touchdown

Bateman played at least 80 percent of the snaps in the final four games, an indication of his growing importance to the offense. After missing the first five games following groin surgery, Bateman had 46 catches and more receiving yards (515) than all but six NFL rookies. Bateman has displayed a mature approach to his craft since Day 1 and has already begun offseason workouts with Lamar Jackson. Their chemistry should be even better in 2022, and Bateman is a young weapon trending upward.

OLB Odafe Oweh, 1st round

2021 stats: 15 games, 2 starts, 33 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 5 tackles for loss

Oweh won AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors in Week 2 and had three sacks through the first five games. He missed the final two games with a foot injury and reportedly underwent shoulder surgery following the season. However, neither injury is expected to impact Oweh in 2022 and his off-the-charts athletic ability gives him the potential to be a double-digit sack producer. He'll be a versatile chess piece in the defense next season, hungry to make a huge leap from Year 1 to Year 2.

G Ben Cleveland, 3rd round

2021 stats: 12 games, 4 starts

Cleveland played every snap the final four games as the starting left guard after Ben Powers went down with a knee injury. General Manager Eric DeCosta said fortifying the offensive line is a "point of emphasis" this offseason, and Cleveland should be in the mix at training camp to win the left guard competition. Cleveland's strength and physicality as a run blocker fits Baltimore's vision of a having a dominant running game once J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards return to action.

S Brandon Stephens, 3rd round

2021 stats: 17 games, 11 starts, 78 tackles, 4 passes defensed

Stephens became the starting safety opposite Chuck Clark after pending free agent DeShon Elliott went down for the season in Week 6. Finishing third on the team in tackles (78), Stephens was rarely out of position and grasped the defensive scheme quickly. Getting consistent reps as a rookie and staying healthy all season created an excellent foundation for Stephens to grow from. The Ravens may draft a safety and Elliott could return, but Stephens figures to remain a valuable and versatile member of the secondary.

WR Tylan Wallace, 4th round

2021 stats: 17 games, 1 start, 2 receptions, 23 yards

Wallace played primarily on special teams as a rookie and didn't see much action at wide receiver until the final four weeks. When he did play, Wallace showed potential as a possession target with a willingness to make catches in traffic. The Ravens have a young and deep receiver group and Wallace is looking to carve out his niche. How much Wallace improves this offseason will be a key to whether his role increases in 2022.

OLB Daelin Hayes, 5th round

2021 stats: 1 game

After playing just four snaps as a rookie due to ankle and knee injuries that landed him on injured reserve, Hayes knows his top priority is to get and stay healthy. The Ravens hope to get younger on defense and Hayes has an opportunity to show he deserves reps in new Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald's system. Hayes had nine sacks during his college career at Notre Dame and the Ravens would welcome his emergence as someone who strengthens their pass rush.
