The 2025 NFL Draft is less than a month away, the Combine buzz has settled, and mock drafts are continuing to evolve for the Ravens.
The trendiest selection for Baltimore is pass rusher at No. 27, but there are some other key positions in the mix.
Here is who pundits have the Ravens taking in April's draft:
EDGE Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M
2024 stats: 12 games, 1.5 sacks, 6 tackles for loss, 31 tackles
"The Ravens always know exactly who they are, and Stewart perfectly fits their athletic profile."
EDGE Mykel Williams, Georgia
2024 stats: 12 games, 5 sacks, 9 tackles for loss, 21 tackles
"The blue-collar edge defender gives Baltimore's pass-rush rotation another toolsy athlete to mold."
EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College
2024 stats: 12 games, 16.5 sacks, 21 tackles for loss, 80 tackles
Ben Standig, The Athletic
"The Ravens never feel forced into taking a particular position. Cornerback, interior offensive line and defensive front are possibilities here. What the extra-bendy Ezeiruaku lacks in bulk, he makes up with wildly impressive athleticism and 34-inch arm length. He ranked high nationally last season in sacks (16 1/2) and tackles for loss (21)."
"Ezeiruaku is a smaller outside linebacker-type edge rusher who can struggle with the power aspects of the game. However, his quick, smooth style paired with high football IQ and some very nice bend make him an ideal 3-4 pass rush type of defender to draft on Day 2."
"General manager Eric DeCosta's BPA strategy aligns with need, given veteran Kyle Van Noy's age and Odafe Oweh's 2026 free agency. Ezeiruaku's exceptional 2024 season -- ranking second in the FBS with 16.5 sacks and earning ACC Defensive Player of the Year -- pairs with his elite agility (6.94 three-cone, 4.19 short shuttle at the combine) and versatile pass-rush arsenal, aligning with DeCosta's penchant for explosive, high-upside defenders at high-impact positions."
EDGE Mike Green, Marshall
2024 stats: 13 games, 17 sacks, 23 tackles for loss, 84 tackles
"Pass rush is an issue with Kyle Van Noy up in age and Odafe Oweh is in the final year of his contract. Green is a productive edge player who could help a group that needs it. Offensive line could also be in play here."
"Had the Ravens not re-signed Ronnie Stanley, I probably would have gone with an offensive tackle. But bringing Stanley back before free agency opened means I can go get an edge rusher for this defense. Baltimore was second in sacks last season (54), but I want to keep that strength a strength in the tough AFC North. Green is quick and sudden, and he had tremendous production last season: 17 sacks, 52 pressures and 2 forced fumbles. He will need to get stronger, but his floor is high, and he has the traits to contribute right away."
EDGE Nic Scourton, Texas A&M
2024 stats: 12 games, 5 sacks, 14 tackles for loss, 37 tackles
"When watching the Purdue tape of Scourton's 2023 season, he looked like a player poised to be a top 10 selection. While his production dropped off this year at Texas A&M, I think his role and necessary playing weight is what hurt his numbers. It was a good sign seeing him at 257 pounds at the combine, where he can get back to wreaking havoc as a pass rusher."
S Malaki Starks, Georgia
2024 stats: 14 games, 77 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 1 interception, 3 passes defended
"Some teams will view Starks as a fair athlete without an NFL position; despite their talent, Brian Branch and Cooper DeJean lasted until the second round for similar reasons. The Ravens won't let that happen, though, as they see Starks' playmaking skills -- just like when they scooped up Kyle Hamilton at No. 14 overall after his 4.59 40 caused other franchises to pass."
IOL Tyler Booker, Alabama
2024 stats: 13 games, 86.5 pass block grade (Pro Football Focus), 63.9 run block grade, 2.5% pressure rate allowed
"What Booker lacks in high-end athleticism, he makes up for with a physical, punishing play style. He's strong enough to anchor in pass protection, and when he gets his hands on pass rushers, the rep usually stalls. Booker has the ability to play both guard spots, and in Baltimore's gap-heavy scheme, he'd be a strong fit in front of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry."
IOL Donovan Jackson, Ohio State
2024 stats: 14 games, 69.9 pass block grade (Pro Football Focus), 70.2 run block grade, 4.5% pressure rate allowed
"While Jackson's film at tackle was surprisingly encouraging, I view him best as a guard. He has length and the explosive strength to really jar holes open. His ability to bump outside in case of emergency is a bonus, and his size fits right in with the Ravens' pretty robust line (sans Tyler Linderbaum)."
DT Derrick Harmon, Oregon
2024 stats: 14 games, 5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 11 tackles for loss, 45 tackles
"Harmon is a classic Ravens type. He can effectively play 3T or 5T, get upfield when needed, and engulf backs against the run."
"Baltimore returns to its roots as it uses a first-round selection on the defensive line. Derrick Harmon and Nnamdi Madubuike can be a pocket-shuttering duo in the AFC North."
