Wide receiver Elijah Sarratt, selected 115th overall in the fourth round of the 2026 draft, addresses a critical Ravens red zone deficiency. In 2025 for Indiana's national championship team, the 6'2½", 215-pound Sarratt caught 64 passes on 87 targets for 824 yards and 15 touchdowns—leading FBS in touchdown receptions. The source notes that the 2025 Ravens receivers (Zay Flowers, Devontez Walker, DeAndre Hopkins, Rashod Bateman, and Tylan Wallace) combined for just 13 touchdowns, compared to the Rams' 29 receiver touchdowns. GM Eric DeCosta praised Sarratt's fit: 'Great career at Indiana. [He has a] big body, strong hands, contested catch, probably a guy that can play outside or inside. We think he's really, really good inside. He has a really a good back-shoulder-fade type of receiver, physical. We just think he's a really good fit for what we want to do offensively.' Sarratt's mindset aligns with the role: 'My mindset is just that any time the ball is in the air, it's mine. It doesn't matter if I'm uncovered, if I have one person on me or two people on me; just as a receiver, if you want to be great, you have to have that mindset. The back-shoulder throws – they're something that is a big strength of my game.'
