Baltimore Ravens 2025 Mock Draft
The NFL draft is just one day away as the first round is set to begin Thursday night, live from Green Bay. Rounds two and three will take place on Friday night, and the 2025 NFL draft will conclude on Saturday with rounds four through seven. The Tennessee Titans hold the first overall selection and are expected to select University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward. The 2025 draft class has a lot of talent, many of which won’t even be selected in the first round. This gives teams picking at the end of the first round, like the Ravens, options on who to select with their first pick, in addition to the talent they can add in both the second and third rounds.
The Baltimore Ravens currently hold the 27th overall selection in the first round. In total the Ravens have eleven draft picks, including four compensatory picks. The Ravens 11 picks are tied for most this year alongside the San Francisco 49ers. The Ravens and GM Eric DeCosta will look to continue to add to a Super Bowl caliber roster, with few holes to fill. The Ravens can look to continue their trend of taking the best player available with the 27th overall selection. With so many picks this year it’s unlikely the Ravens will use all 11 picks, but expect them to use a bulk of the picks while trading some for future draft capital in the coming years.
Team Needs: Edge, Offensive Guard, Safety, Interior Defensive Lineman, Cornerback, Offensive Tackle, Wide Receiver, Running back, Kicker
Round 1
Pick 27: Tyler Booker, Arizona, Offensive Guard, 6’5″, 321 Ibs
NFL.com Draft Grade: 6.38
Pro Football Focus Draft Rank: 48
Combine/Pro Day: 40-yard: 5.38, Vertical: 27″, Broad Jump: 7’10″, Bench: 21 reps
2024 Stats: PFF Grade: 66.5, First-team All-SEC, Second-team All-American, started all 13 games (one at LT), allowed just one sack
The Ravens should have plenty of options with their first pick in the first round, but if Alabama guard Tyler Booker is there it should be a no brainer for Eric DeCosta and the Ravens. With three of the five spots across the offensive line set a fourth, especially at the guard position gives the Ravens extra protection for their star quarterback Lamar Jackson. With the departure of longtime Raven Patrick Mekari this offseason, that leaves a hole at one of the guard spots that Booker should come in and fill day one, leaving only one question mark across the offensive line. As, 2024 starter Daniel Faalele, Andrew Vorhees, and Ben Cleveland look to fill that opposite guard spot, assuming the Ravens don’t make any additional moves prior to the start of training camp.
Strengths: Good size, big hands, solid base and twist, works well getting to second level, great power in upper body
Weaknesses: Struggles to keep hands inside, needs to improve feet to sustain balance, average lateral quickness
Round 2
Pick 59: J.T. Tuimoloau, Ohio State, Edge, 6’4″, 265 Ibs
NFL.com Draft Grade: 6.36
Pro Football Focus Draft Rank: 56
Combine/Pro Day: Vertical: 35.5″, Broad Jump: 9’11″, Bench: 24 reps
2024 Stats: PFF Grade: 86.2, First-team All-Big Ten, started all 16 games, 61 tackles, two forced fumbles, 12.5 sacks, 21 tackles for loss, helped lead Ohio State to a National Championship
The Ravens have longed for a game breaking pas rusher and may have found one in Ohio States J.T. Tuimoloau. With Odafe Oweh still unsigned past the 2025 season and Kyle Van Noy set to play at age 34. Tuimoloau could be the edge rusher that get this Ravens defense to another level. Tuimoloau should get a a lot usage in 2025, and could make the impending decisions regarding what to do with Oweh and David Ojabo after this season easier on Eric DeCosta and the Ravens front office.
Strengths: Strong core, gets off blockers well, good first and secondary pass rush moves, great body control and coordination
Weaknesses: Poor acceleration upfield, needs to improve lateral bend, needs to work on hand placement to generate wins
Round 3
Pick 91: Shemar Turner, Texas A&M, Interior Defensive Line, 6’3″, 290 Ibs
NFL.com Draft Grade: 6.32
Pro Football Focus Draft Rank: 78
Combine/Pro Day: DID NOT PARTICIPATE
2024 Stats: PFF Grade: 59.4, Started all 12 games, 36 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks,
Outside of Travis Jones and Nnamdi Madubuike the interior defensive line for the Ravens both lacks depth and lacked major production in 2024. Turner has a similar build to Madubuike and the Ravens hope he can have a similar rate of production as a rotational piece along the defensive line. Turner as the ability to move across the entire defensive line and has the speed and strength to be a force as a pass rusher up the middle.
Strengths: Quick off the ball, great power and leverage, versatile in alignments, high motor and aggression
Weaknesses: Not ideal size for inter defensive lineman, attitude and discipline, needs to improve bend, needs to increase pass rush move catalogue
Round 4
Pick 129: Tai Felton, Maryland, Wide Receiver, 6’1″, 183 Ibs
NFL.com Draft Grade: 5.96
Pro Football Focus Draft Rank: 154
Combine/Pro Day: 40-yard: 4.37, Vertical: 39.5″, Broad Jump: 10’10″
2024 Stats: PFF Grade: 78.0, Third-team All-American, 96 receptions (school record), 1,124 receiving yards, 9 receiving touchdowns, started al 12 games
The Ravens for years have allowed game breaking wide receivers in their own backyards to slip past them in the draft, i.e. Stefon Diggs and D.J. Moore. While Felton may not end up being the pro that Moore and Diggs have become, he will provide quarterback Lamar Jackson a tall deep ball receiver that should fight for playing time with 2024 draft pick Tez Walker.
Strengths: Great ability to get in and out of breaks, tracks deep ball well, good run after catch
Weaknesses: Struggles against press coverage, needs to improve blocking, needs to work on being available in short yardage passing situations, needs to work on avoiding contact with defenders in routes
Pick 136: Cobee Bryant, Kansas, Cornerback, 6’0″, 180 Ibs
NFL.com Draft Grade: 5.98
Pro Football Focus Draft Rank: 118
Combine/Pro Day: 40-yard: 4.53
2024 Stats: PFF Grade: 80.9, First-team All-Big 12, started all 12 games, 4 interceptions, 37 total tackles, 7 pass breakups
The Ravens can never have enough cornerbacks as they selected two in the 2024 draft including Nate Wiggins who the Ravens took with their first selection last April. Bryant is a thin, athletic corner that could be a good depth piece behind Wiggins and fellow corners T.J. Tampa and Marlon Humphrey. Bryant could also look to fill the role of the departed Arthur Maulet as Bryant is a particularly good tackler.
Strengths: Athletic, good in zone coverage, good burst to break on routes, willing tackler, plays ball well in the air
Weaknesses: Not ideal size for NFL cornerback, struggles with larger receivers, needs to improve discipline and avoid grabbing receivers
Round 5
Pick 176: Malachi Moore, Alabama, Safety, 5’11″, 196 Ibs
NFL.com Draft Grade: 5.90
Pro Football Focus Draft Rank: 186
Combine/Pro Day: 40-yard: 4.50
2024 Stats: PFF Grade: 84.9, First-team All-SEC, Second-team All-American, started all 12 games, 70 total tackles, 2 interceptions, 2, forced fumbles, 3 tackles for loss
The Ravens select another Swiss army knife in Alabama safety Malachi Moore. Moore has the ability to play every safety spot while also providing depth in the slot, and as a run defender. Moore’s versatility is something that Ravens value from their secondary and could allow for the Ravens to move Kyle Hamilton around like they did in 2023, assuming Moore becomes a reliable back end safety opposite of Ar’Darius Washington. Moore is also a strong candidate to play a lot on special teams, something the Ravens look for when drafting players.
Strengths: High character, versatile in role, good at setting edge when asked to, good at anticipating routes
Weaknesses: Size is a question, not super athletic, needs to improve understanding of playbook/coverages, need to work on getting off blockers
Round 6
Pick 183: Jalen Travis, Iowa State, Offensive Tackle, 6’8″, 339 Ibs
NFL.com Draft Grade: 5.82
Pro Football Focus Draft Rank: 180
Combine/Pro Day: 40-yard: 5.14, Vertical: 35″, Broad Jump: 9’4″, Bench: 26 reps
2024 Stats: PFF Grade: 70.8, played in 12 games, helped Iowa State rush for 27 touchdowns, Iowa State offense broke school record with 435 points scored, allowed just one sack
The Ravens are never at a loss for drafting offensive lineman, especially offensive lineman like Jalen Travis. Travis provides a necessary stop gap behind current left tackle Ronnie Stanley who just signed a three-year extension this offseason. Should Stanley go down Travis has the tools to fill in as the Ravens currently don’t have much in terms of the depth at the tackle positions.
Strengths: Good length and punch, great character, good hand size and strength
Weaknesses: Lacks great knee bend, needs to improve hand placement in run blocking, needs to work on feet to improve getting to inside leverage defenders
Pick 203: Luke Lachey, Iowa, Tight End, 6’6″, 251 Ibs
NFL.com Draft Grade: 5.97
Pro Football Focus Draft Rank: 254
Combine/Pro Day: 40-yard: 4.77, Vertical: 35″, Broad Jump: 10’
2024 Stats: PFF Grade: 58.8, played in 12 games (started 11), 28 receptions, 231 receiving yards
The Ravens have a solid core at the tight end position already with Isaiah Likely, Mark Andrews, and Charlie Kolar. But with Mark Andrews future beyond this year, it would be ideal to take Lachey a big bodied frame tight end that could fill the role of what Kolar currently does as a run blocker, should Kolar’s production increase as a pass catcher. With the Ravens using several run heavy sets they could never go wrong in selecting another great blocking tight end, that could also net you 15 receptions in a season.
Strengths: Good NFL build for tight end, good blocker, great in contested catch situations, large catch radius
Weaknesses: Needs to improve getting out of breaks, needs to be more physical in routes with close defender, struggles as an in-line pass protector
Pick 210: Nick Martin, Oklahoma State, Linebacker, 5’11″, 221 Ibs
NFL.com Draft Grade: 5.95
Pro Football Focus Draft Rank: 307
Combine/Pro Day: 40-yard: 4.53, Vertical: 38″, Broad Jump: 10’3″, Bench: 26 reps
2024 Stats: PFF Grade: 67.1, started 5 games, 47 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, one forced fumble, 2 pass breakups
With the loss of Malik Harrison the Ravens will look to add his replacement in Oklahoma State linebacker Nick Martin. While Martin lacks the size of your traditional linebacker he does rush the passer well and could be a key special teamer with a short term limited role on the defensive side of the ball in 2025, similar to that of Harrison.
Strengths: Physical, rushes downhill to make plays in backfield, good blitzes, good base and bend
Weaknesses: Lacks NFL size for linebacker, need to work on getting off oncoming blockers, needs to be better in play recognition, poor in pass coverage, missed most of 2024 with a knee injury
Pick 212: Donovan Edwards, Michigan, Running Back, 5’11″, 205 Ibs
NFL.com Draft Grade: 5.85
Pro Football Focus Draft Rank: 329
Combine/Pro Day: 40-yard: 4.44, Vertical: 38.5″, Bench: 23 reps
2024 Stats: PFF Grade: 73.2, played in 12 games (started 10), 589 rushing yards, 4 rushing touchdowns, 18 receptions, 83 receiving yards, one receiving touchdown
The Ravens could use some help at the number three running back spot with Keaton Mitchell continuing to work back from his 2023 ACL injury, and 2024 rookie Rasheen Ali struggling with ball security. Edwards production slipped in 2024 compared to 2023, but could provide the Ravens with some value late in the draft as a situational piece behind starter Derrick Henry and backup Justice Hill.
Strengths: Good frame, good burst and balance, good in pass protection, great receiver out of the backfield, reliable and resilient
Weaknesses: Not an every down back, needs to improve vision as a runner, poor in getting quickly to the edge, wasn’t full time starter at Michigan
Round 7
Pick 243: Andres Borregales, Miami, Kicker, 5’11″, 199 Ibs
NFL.com Draft Grade: 5.89
Pro Football Focus Draft Rank: 362
Combine/Pro Day: 40-yard: 4.90
2024 Stats: PFF Grade: N/A, First-team All-ACC, played in all 13 games, 18-19 on field goal attempts, 2-2 from 50-yards+, long of 56-yards, 100% on extra points, 65 touchbacks
The Ravens are seemingly in the market for a new kicker for the first time since 2012. With the NFL’s investigation into current kicker Justin Tucker taking place, alongside Tucker’s surprising regression over the last two seasons. It seems like a no brainer to go after one of the best kickers in this years draft to hopefully secure that position once again for the next decade.
Strengths: Consistent, good leg strength
Weaknesses: Needs to improve hang time on kickoffs
