Based on the NFL Draft betting odds at FanDuel Sportsbook, Boston College receiver Zay Flowers (+350) was the second-most likely receiver to go first at the position behind Ohio State's Jaxon Smith-Njigba (-350).

Smith-Njigba did go first overall, yet Flowers was the third receiver drafted when the Baltimore Ravens selected him 22nd overall in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Zay Flowers in Baltimore

The Ravens just re-signed franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson, and getting him some wide receiver help made a lot of sense after no wideout for the team posted more than 48 receptions in 2022.

Flowers is unlikely to post dominant first-year stats in an offense such as this one, however.
