The Baltimore Ravens are coming out of Week 1 with a 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The effort was there for most of the night and new stars were born, but they still lost and their weaknesses were on display for the world to see.
The Ravens currently have two major needs: offensive line help and another pass rusher. Quarterback Lamar Jackson has never looked fully comfortable in the pocket, likely due to a lack of protection. The offensive line is struggling and while it may improve over the season, it's a position they should address in the draft if the best fit is available.
The need for a pass rusher is evident, especially after the injury to linebacker Kyle Van Noy. While he and his nine sacks from last season will be missed, the Ravens have a lot of youth at the linebacker position, specifically brought in to rush the passer.
This is the strategy we're using for our mock draft - just like in World War I, we'll be shoring up the trenches. We chose the best available players and ended up with three top prospects who will each contribute to different aspects of the Ravens' game.
For the mock,Pro Football Network's mock draft simulator was used to make the picks. While the idea of trading out of the first round was there, for this draft, there were no fake trades.
Baltimore Ravens 3 round 2025 mock draft post-Week 1
First round, pick 30: Jonah Savaiinaea, OT (Arizona)
Arizona offensive tackle Jonah Savaiinaea is a strong 6-foot-5 and 336-pound mammoth. Many draft pundits consider Savaiinaea the third-best offensive tackle in the draft. With the 30th overall pick in the first round, we went with the best player available and grabbed an offensive lineman who can play both tackle and guard.
The Ravens need help on the offensive line, as evidenced by the Chiefs game. With no clear defensive end or outside linebacker available, we grabbed an OT who will help reset the offensive line and provide a foundation for years to come. Savaiinaea is already an elite pass protector, he will need to work on his run defense, however these are things that can be fixed.
Second round, pick 62: Dontay Corleone, DT (Cincinnati)
With the 62nd pick in the mock draft, we selected the Godfather himself, Dontay Corleone out of Cincinnati. At 6’1” and 320 pounds, Corleone's strength and quickness make him a perfect fit for their physical, 3-4 defensive scheme. Corleone’s ability to anchor against the run and collapse the pocket would provide immediate value as a run-stuffer, particularly as a nose tackle or 1-technique, filling a critical role on the Ravens’ interior line.
While his pass-rushing skills are still developing, Corleone’s motor and work ethic fit seamlessly with the Ravens’ culture. His potential to grow into a three-down player makes him an intriguing second-round target. He could contribute right away in early-down and short-yardage situations, with the long-term potential to become a cornerstone of the Ravens’ defense.
Third round, pick 94: Kaden Prather, WR (Maryland)
One area that's been of need for several seasons now is a wide receiver. The Ravens selected Zay Flowers out of Boston College in last year's first round, but he's on the smaller side and the team could use a bigger body on the roster. Rashod Bateman is the tallest receiver on the Ravens at 6-foot-1. They could use a prototypical big-bodied receiver on the outside.
Maryland receiver Kaden Prather is not a household name, but his 6-foot-4 frame and ability to win on the outside would be welcomed in Baltimore. Prather goes in the third round for his size, catch radius, and red-zone potential. His versatility as a route-runner makes him a reliable chain-mover and a solid WR2/WR3 option. Prather’s ability to perform against top competition suggests he can contribute early in a rotational role with room to grow.
