The Baltimore Ravens joined the National Football League (NFL) in 1996 as a retroactive expansion team, after former-Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell decided to relocate his team to Baltimore.
The Ravens' first selection as an NFL team was Jonathan Ogden, an offensive lineman from UCLA.
The team's most recent first-round selection was Nate Wiggins, a cornerback from Clemson.
Every year during April, each NFL franchise seeks to add new players to its roster through a collegiate draft known as "the NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting", which is more commonly known as the NFL Draft.
Teams are ranked in inverse order based on the previous season's record, with the worst record picking first, and the second worst picking second and so on.
