The 2026 NFL Draft is here. All 32 teams will be looking to get the most out of their draft capital, but some teams will have more bites at the apple than others. The Ravens will be among the busier teams on Day 3 of the draft, when they will make eight of their 11 selections. But one they will not be using is the No. 142 pick, the second in the fifth round, which they traded to the Titans in exchange for edge rusher Dre\u2019Mont Jones at the trade deadline last year.<\/p>\n
Original terms of the Dre\u2019Mont Jones trade between Ravens and Titans<\/p>\n
The Ravens acquired the No. 142 pick that now belongs to Tennessee from the Jets in a draft weekend trade last year. Baltimore sent the No. 176 pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick \u2013 now set as No. 194 \u2013 to New York to move back seven spots and add a 2026 fifth-round pick. But the Jets\u2019 struggles last year increased the value of their picks, something the Titans surely considered when Baltimore came calling for Jones at the deadline.<\/p>\n
The deal with the Titans included the provision that the fifth-rounder would become a fourth-rounder if Jones recorded two sacks in purple and black \u2013 which he did \u2013 and the Ravens made the playoffs \u2013 which they did not.<\/p>\n
How did Dre\u2019Mont Jones perform for the Raves in 2025?<\/p>\n
Jones brought energy and urgency to a pass rush that badly needed some juice with Odafe Oweh in Los Angeles and Nnamdi Madubuike on the sidelines. Outside of those players, Jones\u2019 14.1% pass rush win rate led the Ravens\u2019 defensive line. He put up 32 pressures in nine games with at least three in all but one game, per Pro Football Focus<\/a>.<\/p>\n
