There was considerable risk to this tactic, because it meant the team wasn’t really MUT 24 Coins addressing its needs, and keep in mind the Ravens were an 8-9 team.

It’s here we get to the second and third rounds, because it’s where more magic happened.
We’ve established that the Ravens needed pass rush help in a major way, and they passed on Johnson II twice. When their second round pick rolled around the board was a bit of a mess. The Buccaneers took Logan Hall with the No. 33 pick, the Falcons took Arnold Ebiketie in a steal at 38, and it appeared there wasn’t really another great fit for the Ravens ... emphasis on appeared.
Almost as if he was forgotten by the rest of the Madden NFL 24, Baltimore took Michigan’s David Ojabo with the 45th pick. Ojabo was an absolute ideal fit in the Ravens’ 3-4 defense, and would have been a top-20 pick if not for a torn achilles that happened during his pro day. It wouldn’t be the immediate impact the Ravens hoped, but after what will be a medical redshirt season they will get an elite pass rush talent for almost no investment. Furthermore, the achilles injury happening so late in the process cheap Madden NFL 24 Coins was almost a blessing in disguise, because it now means the Ravens can oversee his rehabilitation.
