The Baltimore Ravens aren’t just preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft—they’re gearing up to make it theirs. With a loaded roster that’s ready to win now and a front office never shy about making bold moves, General Manager Eric DeCosta enters draft weekend holding a full deck of picks and enough flexibility to flip the script on anyone getting too comfortable at the top of the board.
This year’s draft class doesn’t present one clear, pressing need for Baltimore, but that doesn’t mean they’re standing still. Offensive line depth is on the radar. So is edge. A swing tackle. Another safety. A corner. A developmental running back. Basically, the Ravens are in a sweet spot where they can attack value, weaponize their capital, and let the board come to them... or shake it up entirely. That’s where the fun starts.
And with recent trade rumors flying—Mark Andrews speculation lingering, Odafe Oweh’s name popping up, and whispers of a potential move into the teens—it wouldn’t surprise anyone if Baltimore used the 2025 draft to retool in real time. This team is in Super Bowl mode. And with Lamar Jackson in his prime, every pick is about keeping that window wide open.
Ravens final 2025 NFL Mock Draft
We have a trade to announce:
Round 1, Pick 31: Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge (Boston College)
(Acquired from trade with Chiefs)
We're assuming there is a player here the Kansas City Chiefs feel they can't pass up (OT, Edge rusher, or DT). Which is great news for Baltimore. Ezeiruaku is a twitchy, explosive pass-rusher with three-down potential. He’s a little raw, sure, but his first step, bend, and energy give him real upside.
He’ll be part of the edge rotation early and learn from outside linebackers coach, Chuck Smith, who’s helped unlock guys like Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh. This is how you take swings on traits—late in Round 1.
Round 2, Pick 59: Alfred Collins, DT (Texas)
Collins checks all the boxes physically. The Ravens are losing Michael Pierce and Brent Urban, and Collins brings the size and length to help anchor inside—while still having some pass-rush juice. He’s not flashy, but he doesn’t need to be. Let him rotate in, get comfortable next to Justin Madubuike, and trust the coaches to tap into more. That’s the Ravens' way.
We have a trade to announce:
Round 3, Pick 73: Xavier Watts, S (Penn State)
(Acquired from trade with Jets)
DeCosta consolidates several Day 3 picks to move back into the third to shore up the secondary. Ballhawk. Instinctual. Productive. Watts brings a ton of backend versatility. He might miss some tackles, but his range and awareness are what you want next to Kyle Hamilton.
The Ravens always love finding hybrid DBs who can do a little bit of everything—Watts fits the mold and could develop into a starting free safety down the line.
We have a trade to announce:
Round 3, Pick 84: Jonah Savaiinaea, OL (Arizona)
(Acquired from trade with Bucs)
Massive body, low-key footwork. Savaiinaea is a right tackle by trade but could slide inside and compete at left guard. He’s not flashy, but he’s durable, smart, and strong—three traits this offensive line covets. The Ravens need more options up front, and Savaiinaea brings positional flexibility that could land him an early rotation role on the line.
Round 3, Pick 91: Danny Stutsman, LB (Oklahoma)
Stutsman plays like he’s watched every Ravens linebacker in history and is trying to channel all of them. Smart, tough, rangy, and productive—he’s exactly the kind of Day 2 value that sticks in this defense. He’s also a special teams stud, which always earns you early snaps in Baltimore. Feels like a very safe, very Raven pick.
Round 3, Pick 95: Devin Neal, RB (Kansas)
(Acquired from trade with Chiefs)
The Ravens’ RB room looks the same as last year, but this gives them a steady, reliable option who runs hard and can catch passes. Neal won’t blow you away with speed, but he’s instinctive and gets what’s blocked. Derrick Henry's extension is looming and with no obvious heir, Neal could take a season to learn behind the future hall of famer to eventually take his spot.
Round 6, Pick 183: Oronde Gadsden II, TE (Syracuse)
Gadsden is technically a tight end, but really he’s a big slot receiver who could be a red-zone weapon. He’s not going to block anyone, but he doesn’t need to. If the Ravens move on from Andrews, this is a developmental pass-catcher with some upside in the middle of the field. Low-risk, high-reward type swing.
We have a trade to announce:
Round 6, Pick 187: Korie Black, CB (Oklahoma State)
(Acquired from trade with Vikings)
The Ravens take advantage of the Vikings' lack of draft picks and make a small move back up the board and into the sixth round.
The Ravens love late-round DBs. Black is fast, long, and physical. He’s inconsistent, but his tools give him a chance to stick. He could make the roster as a developmental boundary corner and immediate special teams gunner. There are worse flyers to take in the sixth.
This final mock may be a little chaotic, but it’s the kind of draft that fixes a lot of issues. The Ravens walk away with premium value, plug-and-play talent, and enough upside to reload without rebuilding. DeCosta’s made a living turning draft nights into strategic opportunities, and this one might be his best yet.
