With the No. 76 overall pick in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected UConn defensive tackle Travis Jones.
As with their previous three picks, Twitter was flooded with positive reactions to Eric DeCosta’s latest pick.

Ravens get UCONN DT Travis Jones. He has an interior pass-rushing presence. Had 4 1/2 sacks last year. Jones is 6-foot-4, 325 pounds.

Ravens keep killing it. NFL execs told me Travis Jones could be a first round pick.

The Ravens have struggled to generate a consistent interior pass rushing presence for a long time now
Travis Jones should help with that

The Ravens just took Travis Jones – a pick I would’ve been ecstatic about for Dallas at 56.
They’re having a terrific draft as usual.

There is no question in my mind that the #Ravens are finding, by a significant margin, the most value in the draft.
I am FAR from the only one who believes so.#NFLDraft https://t.co/6Y26ucQC7t

Travis Jones had 25 pressures. That’s a DI I can get behind

New Ravens DT Travis Jones is an athletic 6-foot-4, 330-pounder who can gobble up double teams and adds pass-rush ability (4.5 sacks last season). Daniel Jeremiah had him ranked No. 37. Lance Zierlein also projected him to the second round. Ravens get him at 76.
