For the first time since he bought the team, Bisciotti made the choice on one of the team\u2019s draft picks. <\/p>\n<p>General Manager Eric DeCosta said in a press conference that selecting former Clemson running back Adam Randall was Bisciotti\u2019s call. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.baltimoreravens.com\/news\/steve-bisciotti-first-ravens-draft-pick-adam-randall-owner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">we were down<\/a> in Florida, Steve was begging for a draft pick and he owns the team,\u201d DeCosta said, via the team\u2019s website. \u201cI said, \u2018Yes, Steve, of course you can have a draft pick.\u2019 So we decided on our last fifth-round pick. He did his research and studied the tape, talked to people. He has a really good relationship with the Clemson head coach. <\/p>\n<p>Randall ran 168 times for 814 yards and 10 touchdowns while catching 36 passes for 254 yards and three scores as a member of Dabo Swinney\u2019s team in 2025. That caught Bisciotti\u2019s eye, but earning a role in a backfield with Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali will be up to Randall. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ownership has its privileges.
