Ravens trade Lamar Jackson in latest mock draft

QB Lamar Jackson's future in Baltimore has never been more in doubt and the latest mock draft has the Ravens moving on from the 2019 NFL MVP.

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein has Baltimore dealing Jackson to the Falcons in exchange for a "draft haul that includes this No. 8 overall pick." The Ravens then select their next franchise quarterback in Kentucky's Will Levis.

"Levis' arm stood out among a very talented quarterback group at the scouting combine," according to Pro Football Focus' big board where he ranks as its No. 4 overall prospect.

The 23-year-old has thrown for 5,232 yards, 43 touchdowns and 23 interceptions over the last two seasons in Kentucky.

The Ravens then use their No. 22 pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft to build around Levis by drafting Boston College WR Zay Flowers.

"The Ravens need a wideout who can get open and make challenging catches outside of his frame. Flowers fits the bill," Zierlein writes.

Flowers ranks as PFF's No. 24 overall prospect after posting 78 catches for 1,077 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2022. The 22-year-old also showcased his speed by running a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.

Nobody in Baltimore wants to move on from Jackson. But if it were to happen, landing Levis and Flowers could set the Ravens up to be competitive once again.
