The Baltimore Ravens are ushering in a new era in 2026.
New head coach Jesse Minter will be charged with elevating Baltimore to their prior standard after a disappointing 2025 campaign. Baltimore’s final season under John Harbaugh feels like a missed opportunity — as the AFC playoff field was a wide-open one that saw the New England Patriots book a return to the Super Bowl despite some underwhelming offensive play. What do the Ravens need to get back into the postseason? Here’s a new three-round 2026 Baltimore Ravens mock draft on the heels of this past week’s Panini Senior Bowl.
New Baltimore Ravens 2026 3-round NFL mock draft adds pieces for Jesse Minter & Declan Doyle

Delane was not a Senior Bowl participant this past week — but not many of the top projected players in this year’s class were. Minter has a pretty strong foundation of talent to start with in Baltimore, that’s the good news. But the cornerback situation is one to watch despite a few young players drafted last year’s draft and the presence of names like Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins. Humphrey is set to hit free agency after 2026 and is well into the back-half of his career either way. Delane would bring an instinctive ball hawk to the secondary and a long-term building block for Minter.

Jacas was a 2026 Senior Bowl participant. He may have had the best week there, too. Jacas is relentless with his effort and pursuit while showing versatility in how he disrupts the point of attack. He has 27.0 sacks and 35.5 tackles for loss in four years at Illinois. Jacas and second-year pass rusher Mike Green could, in theory, be a pair of perimeter pass rushers who could give the Ravens some sorely needed upgrades to a pass rush unit that was too inconsistent in 2025.

How about a little love for new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle? Doyle is the most important hire this offseason aside of Minter, as he’ll be charged with breathing life into a Ravens offense that clearly got stale in 2025. A new toy for Jackson could be just what the doctor ordered. Fields is another Senior Bowl standout — he pieced together a strong showing in Mobile with his downfield receiver skills, size, and body control. Fields averaged over 17 yards per reception in 2025 for the Irish after four seasons at Virginia. He feels like a safe lock for the top-100 at this point and he’d be a welcomed blend of size and explosiveness for the Ravens’ downfield attack.
