The Baltimore Ravens are going to be entering a different offseason than they have in quite some time. For the first time since 2008 the Ravens will have a new head coach as they went on to fire John Harbaugh, and hired Jesse Minter.
With having to try and get the most out of the team while possible in Lamar Jackson‘s prime years, they will need to make sure to address this offseason as best as possible to get the necessary talent needed to ensure they can make the Super Bowl.
This offseason and NFL Draft period will prove to be crucial for them and will help set the tone under Minter as the next head coach.

Baltimore Ravens 7-Round NFL Mock Draft
When it comes to the Ravens, their first pick is at 14th overall in round one. From there they have 10 picks in total currently to work with throughout the entire 2026 NFL Draft.
In this installment of the 2026 NFL 7-Round Mock Draft series, TWSN analysts Marissa Myers and Steve Bradshaw go through what a successful draft would look like for the Ravens.
Mock Draft Done Using the PFF Mock Draft Simulator.
Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State: First-Round Pick, 14th Overall
The Baltimore Ravens have a clear need on the defensive side of the ball, and Sonny Styles was arguably the best player here.
This is a pick made in a previous TWSN Ravens mock draft as well, based on this reasoning. “Creating a duo of Roquan Smith and Styles is exactly what could turn things around for this defense.”
If the Ravens can’t land an elite wide receiver in this spot, they should look to go best player available on defense.
LT Overton Edge, Alabama: Second-Round Pick, 45th Overall
With having a defensive-minded head coach like Minter, it only makes sense for him to continue to target defense early on in the NFL Draft. One spot he will look to correct is the edge spot as the Ravens don’t have key playmakers there, and they lack depth overall.
By drafting Overton, the Ravens would get the much-needed pass rush boost they need. He is strong and physical at the point of attack which leads to him routinely winning his reps. Overton’s fast change of direction allows him to adjust quickly, and truly be a standout edge rusher with upside that Baltimore needs.
Darrell Jackson Jr., DL, Florida State: Third-Round Pick, 80th Overall
Once again, going back to defense, Darrell Jackson Jr is seen as a value here by the consensus. The Mock Draft Database consensus big board has him 71.
The interior defensive line wasn’t great for Baltimore last year, and Jackson could help out this rotation quite a bit. Jackson didn’t add a ton as a pass rusher with a 5.8% PFF pass rush win rate, but his 8.9% run-stop rate makes him worthy of this selection.
Eric McAlister, WR, TCU: Fourth-Round Pick, 115th Overall
While it might not be addressed as early as Ravens’ fans might expect, but Baltimore at least starts to build out their wide receiver depth here. With McAlister, he can be an. ideal receiver for Baltimore to pair alongside Zay Flowers.
With his 6’3, 205-pound frame, McAlister is able to box out defenders and be a contested catch receiver for Jackson to throw to down the field. McAlister has an overall good feel for the game, and can help diversify the receiving game further for Baltimore.
Ar’maj Reed-Adams, G, Texas A&M: Fifth-Round Pick, 152nd Overall
In 2025, both Andrew Vorhees and Daniel Faalele struggled with poor PFF grades, backing this up. Neither of the two had a PFF grade over 57 this past year.
Ar’maj Reed-Adams comes in at 6’5”, 325 lbs, and posted a 79.7 PFF grade in 2024. Now, the concern with Reed-Adams is that he only had a 69.1 grade in 2025, and he’s been in college for six years.
For a round five selection, though, this is a pick worth making.
Eli Raridon, TE, Notre Dame: Fifth-Round Pick, 169th Overall
With Isaiah Likey hitting free agency, the Ravens will need to look to better fill out their tight end depth behind Mark Andrews.
Raridon is a versatile player. He has been able to make an impact in the passing game due to his large catch radius, and he has the strength to effectively block inline. With his ability to make an impact in multiple ways, he fits the exact criteria the Ravens look for.
Dane Key, WR, Nebraska: Fifth-Round Pick, 172nd Overall
It would be nice for the Ravens to have some more depth with their outside receivers, and Dane Key provides exactly that. Key isn’t the best all-around prospect, but he comes in at 6’3, 210 lbs. Key had a bit of a disappointing 2025 season at Nebraska, but when he was at Kentucky in 2024, he caught 47 passes for 715 yards.
Kobe Baynes, IOL, Kansas: Fifth-Round Pick, 173rd Overall
As the Ravens continue to advance their team they need to also be looking to add more offensive line depth, especially with Tyler Linderbaum hitting free agency.
Baynes plays with great leverage at the point of attack, and with his reach he is easily able to redirect defenders away from the play. With his ability to pick up stunts and identify blitzes, Baynes has shown the upside to be a dependable player at the next level.
Ben Bell, Edge, Virginia Tech: Seventh-Round Pick, 249th Overall
After a year where Baltimore ranked 28th in sacks per game (1.8), it’s evident that they need help in that department.
Ben Bell is a dart throw at 6’1, 235 lbs, but had posted an intriguing 18.1% pass rush win rate at Virginia Tech this past year.
Miller Moss, QB, Louisville: Seventh-Round Pick, 252nd Overall
At this point in the draft, depth is the name of the game. While they have Jackson as their quarterback, if Jackson misses ample games like he did last season they need better depth at the position. Moss plays with a rushing ability as well, which would help the Ravens’ playbook stay the same even if Jackson isn’t on the field.
Moss plays with great mechanics and is highly accurate. He doesn’t possess the best arm strength, but in the right system as a backup he can provide value.
