Ravens land offensive line, defensive depth and kicker in Dane Brugler’s 7-round mock draft

The Baltimore Ravens come away with a litany of talent in Dane Brugler’s 7-round mock draft.

The Baltimore Ravens enter the draft with few holes on their roster, but 11 draft picks to add starter quality talent and depth everywhere else. In The Athletic’s Dane Brugler’s seven-round mock draft, they do precisely that, beginning with bolstering the offensive line with the No. 27 pick.

27. Baltimore Ravens: Kelvin Banks Jr., OT/G, Texas

“Ronnie Stanley returning to Baltimore lessens the need here, but Banks would compete with Andrew Vorhees for the starting left guard spot in Year 1,...

The former Super Bowl MVP had a brief conversation with the Ravens about a potential return.

This offseason, the Baltimore Ravens went looking for a backup quarterback for Lamar Jackson. And prior to the team signing Cooper Rush, they called a familiar franchise hero about a potential reunion.

The Baltimore Sun’s Mike Preston reports the Ravens called Joe Flacco.

“They did kind of reach out to [my agent] Joe [Linta], gauging my interest for something like that to happen,” Flacco said. “My agent called me up and was like, ‘What do you want me to tell them?’ I’m like, ‘Well,...

Eric DeCosta on if he expects Mark Andrews to remain a Raven: ‘I never know what’s going to happen’

John Harbaugh ranked third in NFL head coach rankings

John Harbaugh ranked third in NFL head coach rankings

The second-longest-tenured HC is one of the very best

The Baltimore Ravens and John Harbaugh have been together for 17 seasons, second only to Mike Tomlin’s 18 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the longest tenure among active NFL head coaches. The Ravens rewarded Harbaugh with a three-year extension in March following another double-digit win season and a trip to the divisional round of the playoffs.

Harbaugh’s 172-104 career record speaks for itself. Throw in a 13-11 post-season record and a Super Bowl victory and it is easy to see why Harbaugh has lasted as long as he has. However,...

DeAndre Hopkins labeled a better fit with the Ravens over Chiefs

The veteran wide receiver may have an easier time in Baltimore

The Baltimore Ravens added valuable depth and a veteran presence to their wide receiver corps during free agency by signing DeAndre Hopkins to a one-year deal. The Tennessee Titans traded the five-time Pro Bowler to the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2024 season, where he caught 41 passes for 437 yards and four touchdowns in 10 regular-season games. Pairing Hopkins with two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes was not the slam dunk many envisioned. Hopkins will now catch passes from another two-time MVP in Lamar Jackson.

Ravens to host private workout for Florida State kicker

The Ravens are hosting Florida State kicker Ryan Fitzgerald for a private workout.

According to The Draft Network’s Justin Melo, the Baltimore Ravens are set to host Florida State kicker Ryan Fitzgerald for a private workout.

Fitzgerald joined the Florida State Seminoles in 2019 after being a five-star kicker and the No. 14 prospect in the country by Kohl’s Kicking.
