S Malaki Starks, Georgia
Starks has frequently been mocked to the Ravens, which would form a potentially elite duo with Kyle Hamilton. The versatile defender nabbed six interceptions over his three seasons as a starter. Starks won a national championship as a freshman – and overlapped with Ravens Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken that season – before developing into an All-American in 2024.

IOL Tyler Booker, Alabama
Eric DeCosta has not taken a player from Alabama on the first two days of the Draft since taking over as general manager, but Booker could buck that trend. He is a seasoned prospect, playing 38 games in college, and he could be a high upside player at guard in the NFL.

EDGE James Pearce Jr., Tennessee
Pearce was a projected top-5 pick before the season but is now viewed as a back of the first-round prospect. He led the SEC with 10 sacks as a sophomore and had 7.5 in 2024. Pearce offers long-term potential for a Ravens pass-rush group that has some uncertainty after next season.

S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina
Emmanwori exploded at the Combine, running a 4.38-second 50-yard dash and logging a 43-inch vertical and 11' 6" broad jump at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds. He had four interceptions last season, including two returned for touchdowns. Emmanwori is projected to be the first safety off the board but could fall to the Ravens at No. 27.

EDGE Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M
Stewart is a polarizing prospect, as he registered just 4.5 sacks across three college seasons but blew up the Combine with his 4.59 40-yard dash and 40-inch vertical. The Ravens have shown a lack of college production doesn't scare them (they drafted Odafe Oweh in the first round after he had zero sacks in his final college season), and Stewart offers boom potential.

CB Azareye'h Thomas, Florida State
The Ravens could add a cornerback early after the departure of Brandon Stephens. Baltimore hit on Nate Wiggins in Round 1 last year, and Thomas could be another Day 1 difference maker for Baltimore. Thomas is a big-bodied press cornerback.

IOL Donovan Jackson, Ohio State
Jackson projects as a guard in the NFL, but he stepped in at left tackle for Ohio State and helped lead the Buckeyes to a national title. Andrew Vorhees is the favorite to start at left guard for Baltimore, but the addition of Jackson (or another highly touted guard) could change that.

EDGE Mykel Williams, Georgia
Williams is the most likely of this group to not make it to No. 27. He's mostly mocked within the top-20, but some pundits see him falling to Baltimore. Williams had 14 sacks in his college career and won a title as a freshman.

DT Derrick Harmon, Oregon
Standing in at an imposing 6-foot-4, 313 pounds, Harmon is a force in the middle and could form an elite trio alongside Nnamdi Madubuike and Travis Jones. Harmon had five sacks and 11 tackles for loss at Oregon after spending his first three seasons at Michigan State.

CB Maxwell Hairston, Kentucky
Hariston's 4.28 40-yard dash was the fastest at the Combine and could propel him into the first round. However, it's worth noting that Baltimore hasn't used its top selection on the same position in back-to-back years since 1998-99. Hairston is a playmaker with six interceptions and three touchdowns over the past two seasons.
