After entering the season with clear-cut Super Bowl expectations, the Baltimore Ravens have fallen dramatically short, stumbling to an 8-8 record with one week left to go in the year.
Despite having a relatively strong roster, the Ravens have not been able to translate their talent into the on-field dominance that fans have become used to in recent seasons. Something has to change with this team, and it may start with the 2026 NFL Draft.
In this seven-round mock draft, we used PFF's Mock Draft Simulator to fill the needs the Ravens have heading into 2026.
Ravens 7-round 2026 mock draft
Round 1, pick 16: Ravens draft Auburn DL Keldric Faulk
After trading away Odafe Oweh mid-season, the Ravens have lacked a strong pass-rushing presence. Dre'Mont Jones has filled in well, but the unit lacks juice when he's blocked up. Auburn defensive lineman Keldric Faulk could help solve that issue while offering versatility in Zach Orr's system.
The 6'6", 285-pound defender can play on the edge or on the interior, making him a useful chess piece in each matchup. He isn't the pass-rush specialist that some fans may be looking for, but his run-defending ability gives him a solid floor in the NFL.
Round 2, pick 48: Ravens draft Oregon G Emmanuel Pregnon
Baltimore adds a starting-caliber offensive lineman in the second round of our mock draft. Oregon's Emmanuel Pregnon could step into either starting guard position. He's an excellent pass protector, allowing zero sacks on nearly 400 pass-blocking reps this season.
This pick could help bring the Ravens back to the physical dominance that defined their 2024 season.
Round 3, pick 80: Ravens draft Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr.
With DeAndre Hopkins likely walking out the door, the Ravens will need to add another receiver in the offseason. Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. is an electric player who could fit perfectly alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman in Baltimore's receiver room. While he's had a few costly drops this season, he's athletic enough to take a chance on in the third round.
Round 4, pick 116: Ravens draft Utah S Tao Johnson
A lack of depth at safety forced the Ravens to trade for Alohi Gilman earlier this season. Unfortunately, Gilman is set to hit free agency. If Baltimore chooses not to re-sign him, Tao Johnson could be a good alternative. He has the versatility to play at deep safety or in the box, allowing Kyle Hamilton to be used in multiple ways.
Round 5, pick 143: Ravens draft Michigan RB Justice Haynes
Derrick Henry won't be around forever. With limited depth behind him, the Ravens may look to add another running back to their roster in the draft. Michigan's Justice Haynes isn't the most dynamic back, but he can take advantage of the space his linemen create for him. He could develop into a quality member of Baltimore's backfield.
Round 5, pick 155: Ravens draft Texas defensive tackle Cole Brevard
With the second of their four fifth-round selections, we have Baltimore beefing up the interior of the defensive line. Coming out of Texas, Cole Brevard is a strong run defender who could serve as a nice depth piece for the Ravens.
Round 5, pick 172: Ravens draft Alabama G Jaeden Roberts
Baltimore will need to add more than one offensive lineman, so we have them taking Alabama prospect Jaeden Roberts. Roberts has shown flashes of elite play that indicate he could develop into a starter for the Ravens.
Round 5, pick 175: Ravens draft Iowa ED Max Llewellyn
With their last pick of the fifth round, the Ravens finally find their pass-rush specialist. Iowa edge rusher Max Llewellyn has put up six sacks in each of the last two seasons.
Round 7, pick 229: Ravens draft Auburn CB Raion Strader
The Ravens start the seventh round by adding secondary depth with Auburn cornerback Raion Strader. He's been inconsistent this season, but Strader has the talent to stick in the NFL.
Round 7, pick 246: Ravens draft Pitt LB Rasheem Biles
With their last pick of the 2026 draft, the Ravens take Pittsburgh linebacker Rasheem Biles. Biles would likely serve as a special teams player early in his career.
