The 2025 Baltimore Ravens were one kick away from sneaking into the postseason by winning the scrappy AFC North. However, it\u2019s probably better that their effort looped wide right as time expired.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baltimore has a litany of issues. On offense, they\u2019re massively one-dimensional, usually being held together by the magic of Lamar Jackson<\/a> and Derrick Henry<\/a>. On the defensive side, it\u2019s a unit that can\u2019t get the passer<\/a> (31st in sack%), and as a result, is decimated on the back end (3rd-most PYPG allowed).<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Ravens Draft Picks:<\/p>\n After FINALLY getting their stuff sorted between the Maxx Crosby<\/a> drama and signing Trey Hendrickson<\/a>, here\u2019s what the Ravens are working with going into the Draft:<\/p>\n Ravens Positions of Need:<\/p>\n The Ravens are expected to target the following positions with these picks.<\/p>\n Key Draft Targets for Ravens:\u00a0 \u00a0Olaivavega Ioane\u2013 G \u2013Penn State<\/p>\n As previously mentioned, the Ravens offense was extremely dependent on the magic of their all-world QB and RB, and a ton of that came down to the struggles of their offensive line -particularly their guard play.\u00a0<\/p>\n Olaivavega Ioane is the consensus<\/a> best guard in the draft, and at pick No. 14, this seems like a no-brainer for Baltimore.<\/p>\n Chris Brazzell<\/a> \u2013 WR \u2013 Tennessee\u00a0<\/p>\n If this name sounds familiar, it should \u2013 especially to residents of Athens, GA. Chris Brazzell serves as an explosive new target for Jackson to aim at, and he\u2019s already been mocked<\/a> to Baltimore by several draft experts.\u00a0<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n If the Ravens get the chance at pick No. 45, they cannot pass up on him.<\/p>\n Malik Muhammad<\/a> \u2013 CB \u2013 Texas<\/p>\n Muhammad spent four years at Texas, shutting down the best in college football. That serves perfectly for a team that was near the worst at the back end last season, and pick No. 87 aligns perfectly with the Longhorn\u2019s projected<\/a> third-round value.\u00a0<\/p>\n The post Baltimore Ravens 2026 NFL Draft Preview<\/a> appeared first on The Lead<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2025 Baltimore Ravens were one kick away from sneaking into the postseason by winning the scrappy AFC…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":852387,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2052],"tags":[184,117,2282,292,7,895,6563,6,169],"class_list":{"0":"post-852386","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-ravens","8":"tag-baltimore","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-baltimoreravens","11":"tag-derrick-henry","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-lamar-jackson","14":"tag-maxx-crosby","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-ravens"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116343818434062160","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=852386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/852387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=852386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=852386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=852386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
