The Baltimore Ravens are starting to form their 53-man depth chart and as the team prepares for a preseason tilt against the Commanders, several stock portfolio’s are starting to take shape.
Eric DeCosta put together a loaded roster, with more players on the roster bubble, than available slots on the depth chart.
With the team set for a Monday night tilt with Washington and Saturday night matchup with Tampa Bay, we’re looking at who’s stock is rising entering the final week of the preseason.
Stock up --Odell Beckham Jr
He’s not as explosive, but he’s still among the best at what he does.
In bounds or not, still a great snag by @obj. 🤚 pic.twitter.com/pRTFnZnEsZ

Stock up -- Zay Flowers
The quick-feet and dazzling route running says enough.

Stock up --Tarik Black
Wide receiver is a deep position group in Baltimore, but Black has been making big plays all summer.

Stock up -- John Simpson
Simpson has the edge in the battle at left guard and his stock continues to rise ahead of Monday night’s matchup.
Stock up --Patrick Queen
Queen is dependable, has played in every single regular season game (50) over the past three seasons.
A potential top 10 linebacker, Queen complement’s Roquan Smith and has spent the summer making plays.
Stock up -- Keaton Mitchell
The undrafted free agent has seen first-team reps at the running back position and he’ll be a star in this league in the years to come.
Stock up--Travis Jones
Jones has been stout and has more than shown that he can be a dominant run-stuffer.

Stock up --Odafe Oweh
A raw and dominant athlete, Oweh is some refined moves away from becoming a star pass rusher.
Oweh has been a standout this summer and his stock is way up.

Stock up --Ar'Darius Washington
The nickel cornerback plays a deep, but undetermined position group with two preseason games to play.

Stock up -- Jadeveon Clowney
Jadeveon Clowney is so disruptive as a run defender, which should really help the Ravens
Great breakdown here from @MattWaldman pic.twitter.com/m7S9xZpVXV

Clowney can be dominant when locked in, and it appears that Baltimore is where he wants to be and his game fits the Ravens physical culture.

It’s only been two days, but Clowney’s stock is booming.
Stock up --Sean Ryan
Baltimore may be too deep at wide receiver for Ryan to make the team as a rookie, but he had the catch of the day on an afternoon where Odell Beckham Jr. also made an amazing one-handed catch.
Ravens undrafted rookie Sean Ryan made one of the best catches of this year’s camp. He pulled in a Josh Johnson pass by leaping over Tae Hayes in the corner of the end zone.
Ryan, though, was shaken up on the play. He left the field with a trainer.

Stock up --Justin Tucker
The most reliable weapon in the NFL, Tucker offers Baltimore a chance to score any time they reach the opponents 40-yard line.

Stock up -- Tylan Wallace
Wallace is physical, and offers a skill-set that works well on special teams. The former Oklahoma State wide receiver has two more chances to prove that he belongs in a deep wide receiver group.
Stock up--Rashod Bateman
The 2021 NFL Draft’s 27th overall pick, Bateman has appeared in 18 games with Baltimore, hauling in 61 passes for 800 yards and three touchdowns.
The talent is there, and Bateman looks the part after returning to the roster ahead of the final week of the preseason.
