Baltimore Beatdown
The latest mock drafts foresee the Ravens prioritizing bringing in reinforcements on the edge of the defense.
In the latest rounds of mock drafts, analysts foresee the Baltimore Ravens putting an emphasis on fortifying their offensive line as well as addressing the cornerback or edge rusher spot in the first round. The most commonly projected prospect was a Group of Five standout who led the FBS in sacks on 2024.
The latest mock drafts pertaining to the Ravens:
NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein [February 3]
No. 27 — Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
This ascending prospect is built like a Greek god and offers a rare blend of size, speed and ball skills. Like Ravens star Kyle Hamilton, Emmanwori can man either safety spot and has the instincts to make impact plays on the back end.
NFL.com’s Cynthia Frelund [February 7]
No. 27 — Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
Banks has a ton of experience (42 college starts) and forecasts to fit best in a system that values his athleticism. Some have the Texas product as the top tackle in the 2025 class. But my models say the landing spot will be critical when it comes to Banks realizing his potential at the next level.
ESPN’s Matt Miller [February 3]
No. 27 — Jonah Savaiinaea, OL, Arizona
Teams will be watching Revel’s medicals as he recovers from a torn ACL that ended his 2024 season in September. He has tremendous size (6-3) and leans on his strong instincts to make plays. Revel - who would be the first East Carolina first-rounder since Chris Johnson in 2008 - had two interceptions in three games this season, including a pick-six. Now picture Revel in the Baltimore secondary with Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins and Kyle Hamilton. He could fill free agent Brandon Stephens’ void and help limit the big plays that burned the Ravens this season; they allowed 58 completions for 20 or more yards, third most in the league.
No. 59 — Jaylon Royals, WR, Utah State
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson needs additional options at wide receiver, and Royals is a poised and patient route runner with the lower-body strength and quickness to be a threat after the catch. He caught 21 touchdown passes the past two seasons, including 15 in 2023.
The 33rd Team’s Kyle Crabbs [February 3]
No. 27 — James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee
The Ravens are historically a team that takes advantage of talent that drops down the board. They’d be doing exactly that with the addition of Pearce Jr., who may slide down the draft due to his lean frame. But make no mistake — he’s a killer pass rusher and the Ravens have a strong track record of finding ways to put talent in position to be impactful on the field.
CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson [February 4]
No. 27 — Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
The former UVA transfer...
