The Baltimore Ravens brought in an influx of talent in the 2026 NFL Draft. They made 11 selections, selecting seven offensive players, three defensive players, and one special teamer. It wasn’t exactly a dream draft, but they did a good job of revamping a unit that desperately needed help at several positions.
Baltimore isn't done. Well, nobody is. Just when the NFL Draft ended, another fast-paced event started: undrafted free agency.
Michael Pierce, Patrick Ricard, Ar’Darius Washington, and Keaton Mitchell are just a few names that have made an impact as undrafted free agents with the Ravens in recent memory. So far, they’re up to nine signings who are looking to make their presence felt.
Baltimore Ravens waste no time making under-the-radar post-draft additions
Baltimore had 70 players on their roster following Saturday’s selections. They have room for up to 20 undrafted free agents, and at this point, have signed nine. Here are the signings thus far.
- Dontae McMillan, RB, Eastern Michigan
- Octavian Smith Jr., WR, Maryland
- Trevonte Sylvester, OT, Louisville
- Diego Ponds, OT, Ole Miss
- Nick Dawkins, C, Penn State
- Reid Williford, LB, Charlotte
- Matthew McDoom, CB, Cincinnati
- Lardarius Webb Jr., S, Wake Forest
- Silas Walters, S, Miami (OH)
Of course, each of those moves is pending a physical.
Lardarius Webb Jr. is obviously the coolest name mentioned here. He's the son of former Ravens defensive back Lardarius Webb, who spent nine years in Charm City, playing both corner and safety across his tenure.
As for the others, there's some need for depth in each of those areas. The Ravens could use a backup offensive tackle, center is a clear need after they didn’t draft one at all with their 11 picks, linebacker has some uncertainty, and you can never have too many defensive backs.
Of course, some of these guys could come ready to make an impact on special teams, too. Baltimore lost some talent in that area in players like Jake Hummel, Tylan Wallace, and Keaton Mitchell, who all departed in free agency. If one of those guys were to make the team heading into the regular season, that’s how it’ll be done. That’s how you impress a coaching staff and earn their faith.
Overall, that’s a lot of players, and there could be a lot of talent. Sure, undrafted free agency is usually a dart throw, but the Ravens have had plenty of success in undrafted free agency. They usually have one of those players make it on the team, and last year they had three.
