In other news, the NFL will not hold a supplemental draft this year, Pelissero reported. The Ravens' only pick in the history of the supplemental draft was offensive tackle Jared Gaither, who was taken in the fifth round in 2007.
Competition Between Willie Snead IV, Devin Duvernay Is One to Watch
The battle for playing time in the slot position between veteran Willie Snead IV and rookie Devin Duvernay is one the top training camp competitions at wide receiver, Pro Football Focus' Ben Linsey wrote.
"The PFF Draft Guide called [Duvernay] one of the top slot receivers in the class, citing his reliable hands and after-the-catch ability as reasons why," Linsey wrote. "Duvernay adds more juice to the position than Snead would, but Snead [has] the advantage of being the incumbent, the veteran who already knows the system."
Snead, a sure-handed possession receiver and strong blocker in the run game, caught a career-high five touchdown passes last season. He was the 10th most valuable wide receiver in the league in 2019, according to analytics used by Pro Football Network's Lucas Ellinas.
Linsey said he expects Snead to begin the season as the starter but for Duvernay to push for more snaps as the season progresses.
"Duvernay's speed and after-the-catch ability is something that [Offensive Coordinator Greg] Roman will want to get on the field so that he can add another game-breaker to an offense that is already very fast," Linsey wrote.
