The Baltimore Ravens drafted Rashod Bateman with the 27th pick this spring.

Baltimore also had the 31st pick, but they feared the Green Bay Packers would select the wide receiver at 29th.

"Certainly, we knew [the Packers] liked him and a lot of teams like Rashod," Ravens director of player personnel Joe Hortiz said. "We don’t know for certain, but you do try to pay attention to, 'OK, the GMs were at this pro day' — especially this year because the GMs weren't able to get out and see players. Brian [Gutekunst] is going to look at players that he was interested in."

The Detroit Lions called with an offer for the fourth overall pick when the Atlanta Falcons were on the clock.

The Falcons released a video from inside their draft room this week that shows Terry Fontenot fielding a call before the team selected Kyle Pitts with the No. 4 pick.

It's presumed that Lions GM Brad Holmes was on the other end of the line. Fontenot says that unless he's calling with a much better deal than he had offered in their previous discussions, the Falcons are going to stay put.

It's unclear who the Lions would have been targeting in a move up from No. 7 to No. 4.

Indianapolis Colts defensive end Kwity Paye has become the first 2021 first-round pick to sign his rookie contract.

The Colts signed five rookies on Thursday.

Paye is set to account for approximately $2.4 million in 2021, per Over The Cap's rookie pool estimations.

Cleveland Browns second-round pick Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is disputing the notion that a heart issue popped up in his pre-draft medical reviews.

The Notre Dame product was seen as a potential first-round pick, but fell to the middle of the second round.

"You get news," he told Jim Rome. "You get a lot of news within the draft and the process you're going through. There was something that came up in terms of what guys were saying, but in terms of me, in terms of the personal aspect there were no really heart issues at all. There was nothing that was too ticked off and we went back to Notre Dame and looked at the medical records and everything. I never really had any heart issues or anything going on there. You know, you hear a lot of things, but you've got to get it from the source."

The San Francisco 49ers settled on Trey Lance as their pick at No. 3 on April 19th, several weeks after trading up to No. 3.

Kyle Shanahan was asked by Peter King how they decide upon Lance.

“It’s so hard for me to give a quick answer,” Shanahan said from California.

“His natural ability to play the quarterback position, just in terms of how he plays in the pocket, how he can go through the progressions, how, when no one’s open, that he gives it a chance, that he recognizes it. And how quick he reacts to turning it into an off-schedule play. He plays on tape like he’s a very poised, smart person who’s been playing the position for a while.

“Then you look into the other attributes, and you’re like ‘Oh, I haven’t even gotten to the running skill set.’ I haven’t gotten to the upside of how much better he can get, the more he plays. That’s what made me like him so much right away.

“But it’s also, once you do that, you see all this, now let’s talk about what’s wrong. Why isn’t this a slam dunk? You hear his school [level of play], the lack of throws, not playing the 2020 season. Those are real things. That’s why I’m glad that we had a long time to go through it. Because you love the tape, but just like everyone in the league, there are some stuff you can’t just say it’s a slam dunk. That’s the stuff that worries you about it. But that’s what was so cool about the kid, that going through this process after we moved up to where I talked to him so many times, to have him go through the number of tests and stuff that we have them all go through . . . I can’t tell you how special of a person he is. It has nothing to do with football.

“He’s extremely intelligent. He knows how to handle situations. He knows how to carry himself. The guy that I see on tape that I tried to describe that I see such a natural quarterback, such a smart player. Well, if I never saw the tape, and I got to hang out with him first, I would’ve felt that same way with him as a person and been like, ‘Man, I hope the tape matches this person!’ You know? That’s kind of what was cool about it. The first time you watch the tape, ‘Man, hell yeah!’ But no decision’s set in stone in January. That’s how I felt in January when I saw him. But I was going to do the process right. Watch everybody. Every guy. I can always spend two hours and get myself to like anyone. Then, I go to the time getting myself to not like him. And I see what ends up sticking. That’s what was cool about him through the process at the end. No matter what I tried to do to say, It’s too risky!, all that stuff kind of went away the more I got to know the person. I went back to how I originally felt about the tape.”

The Minnesota Vikings tried to trade up in the draft to select Justin Fields.

The Chicago Bears traded up to select Fields.

The Vikings eventually selected Kellen Mond of Texas A&M in the third round.

According to multiple sources, a Vikings coach reached out to Cousins in the lead-up to the draft to let him know Minnesota was considering taking a quarterback at some point.
