Edge rusher (40%) — 92 votes

Cornerback (15%) — 35 votes

Safety (15%) — 34 votes

Offensive line (13%) — 30 votes

Interior defensive line (10%) — 22 votes

Other (7%) — 17 votes

Here’s what some fans told us (answers have been edited for clarity and grammar):

Draft the best player available ala Jonathan Ogden, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Kyle Hamilton. — Allyns

Best position, no contest! The best position for the Ravens is a first-round bye in the playoffs. — Bob Hodges

The Eagles showed the best functioning of a defensive line. Their DL allowed the defense to drop seven players into coverage. No defensive back can stay with today’s receiver for more than 3 to 5 seconds, and 5 or more seconds is a coverage sack. The Ravens were third in sacks but their edge rushers only had a 27% rate of success. It is necessary to have excellent subs to rotate in the game. — John Blake

The best player available is the way to go here. — Linda

Tight end if they trade Mark Andrews. He would have to be the best TE in the draft. — Randolph

I leave it to the discretion of GM Eric DeCosta and staff. The NFL draft is a moving butterfly effect where choices are made, in large measure based on what other teams ahead of them do. That said, it will surely be a defensive player. — czechm8d

The best player available. — Tim

Wide receiver. — Paul
