Baltimore Ravens draft class of 1996

The NFL Network recently ranked the top 10 draft classes in the history of the NFL. The 1996 draft class for the Ravens was ranked 5th with the likes of Jonathan Ogden, Ray Lewis, DeRon Jenkins, Jermaine Lewis, Dexter Daniels, James Roe and Jon Stark.

It is primarily because of Ogden and Lewis that this class is ranked as high as it is and because of the other draftees that it is ranked as low as it is. In other words, 5th is a fair and correct ranking for this class.

Here is the complete list:

10. Pittsburgh Steelers Class of '74
9. Dallas Cowboys Classes of '91 and '92
8. Chicago Bears Class of '83
7. Green Bay Packers Class of '58
