2024 Projections
Baltimore scoops up at 30th overall
The Ravens selected Wiggins in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 30th overall.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins is awfully skinny at 6-foot-1, 173 pounds, and with such a light frame comes reasonable concerns about run defense. He won't turn 21 until Aug. 28, however, and his frame clearly has room to add some weight if necessary. Wiggins can add mass to his frame with time, but the other cornerbacks in this class can't acquire what Wiggins has innately: elite speed (4.28-second 40) and proven coverage ability. He was the top defender on a smothering Clemson pass defense in 2023, and the Ravens have to be one of the best teams in the league for developing defensive talents. Perhaps he's a slight project, but Wiggins should fully arrive for Baltimore at some point in the near future.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade calls rebuffed by Baltimore
The Ravens, who took Wiggins with the 30th pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, declined eight trade offers from teams looking to move up to acquire the cornerback out of Clemson, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Per the report, the Ravens were shocked to see Wiggins fall down to their pick on draft night. General manager Eric DeCosta said after the draft that Wiggins is "a guy that can be a true shutdown-type corner," and he was adamant on taking the Clemson product if available. Wiggins will have his hands full at the NFL level, particularly in the AFC North against wide receivers like Ja'Marr Chase, Amari Cooper and George Pickens.
