The Baltimore Ravens will make FIVE selections in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Below are the reactions from the contributors of Baltimore Beatdown on all selections. This article will update as the Ravens make their selections.

No. 178: CB Bilhal Kone, Western Michigan

Length, decent ball skills and speed that can make the jump to the NFL level. Primarily an outside cornerback at Western Michigan, Kone will likely begin as a special teamer who can fight for snaps on the outside with Nate Wiggins and T.J. Tampa. If he shows rapid development and dynamic ability, he could be outside CB2 with Wiggins commanding CB1, pushing Marlon Humphrey inside where he is the best slot cornerback in the NFL.

Also, if you’re a fan of underdog stories (who isn’t?), Bilhal Kone originally began in Junior College to earn his place. Started at Indiana State in 2022 and racked up 34 tackles and six pass breakups. Then replicated and built on his performance at Western Michigan with 112 tackles, 18 PBUs, two interceptions and three TFLs in his final two seasons. — Kyle Phoenix

Kone is a JuCo player who played at a higher level but left due to academic issues. At 6’1, he’s got the size and athleticism to play as a press corner but mainly played zone and didn’t show physicality at a consistent rate. He is sticky in coverage because of the athleticism but lacks bite at the catch point. He also had a 14% missed tackle rate in his collegiate career which calls into question if he’ll be a good special teamer.

With guys like a Zy Alexander and Cobee Bryant on the board, not sure I love this pick. The lack of physicality and missing tackles, plus the academic issues make me question the fit but the Ravens know more. Dane Brugler also gave him at 5th round grade. — Zach Canter

No. 186: K Tyler Loop, Arizona

With the future uncertain on Justin Tucker as he’s being investigated by the NFL for allegations of sexual misconduct, the Ravens draft their first kicker in franchise history.

Loop went 18-of-23 in 2024, including a program-record 62-yard field goal. In his four-year career with Arizona, Loop finished going 67-of-80 (83.75%).

Personally, I like Florida State kicker Ryan Fitzgerald, a player the Ravens hosted for a private workout. But maybe that workout didn’t go to expectation. Either the NFL will exonerate Tucker entirely and the competition will commence, or, more likely, the Ravens will be moving on from Tucker. — Kyle Phoenix

The writing was on the wall with Justin Tucker, but this pick all but cements that his days in Baltimore have come to an end. After having a Hall of Famer kick field goals for more than a decade, the Ravens now embark into the scary waters of kicker uncertainty. If anyone can identify a good NFL kicker, though, it is John Harbaugh and his staff. Tyler Loop has some big shoes to fill, as did punter Jordan Stout a few years ago when replacing Sam Koch. Loop’s big leg will be refreshing after watching Tucker struggle from 50+ recently. — Dustin Cox

The accuracy is an issue for Tyler Loop. But the leg is real. He went 6-9 at 50+ yard in his career and hit a 62 yarder last season. It always seemed inevitable the Ravens would take one, considering all the noise and offseason talk. I trust the organization to figure out the leg. The Ravens will now experience what most teams experience considering kickers, true uncertainty. — Zach Canter

No. 203: WR LaJohntay Wester, Colorado

The Ravens select a possible return specialist with this selection. In four years at Florida Atlantic, Wester fielded 57 punts for 632 yards and one touchdown. He led the American conference in 2023 (14 ret, 278 yds., 1 TD). In 2024 at Colorado, he returned nine punts for 108 yds, one touchdown. He’ll have to fight to earn offensive snaps but will be in the mix on special teams for sure. — Kyle Phoenix

Wester is a highly productive receiver who can separate naturally with elite route running. He can get up to top speed quick with quick burst and the ability to decelerate and move suddenly with great hips. While only 5’9, the main reason for his slide, he can win a surprising number of jump balls down the field but will be limited in the NFL. He does struggle against press but should be hidden as a slot guy.

The biggest value is the Ravens get an electric returner whose movement abilities to start-stop and get up to a top speed with suddenness should bring a spark to kick and punt returners since Jacoby Jones. — Zach Canter
