Few teams pick more times in an NFL Draft than the Baltimore Ravens. 

General Eric DeCosta has been very clear about his NFL Draft philosophy — this event serves as the pipeline of talent for Baltimore's roster. The 2025 NFL Draft brought 11 new selections into the fray, the third time in six seasons with DeCosta as general manager that Baltimore handed in double-digit picks.

The key to successfully stocking the pond with talent isn't just hitting on your early picks, however. You must find the success stories later in the draft. A review of the Ravens' roster and some of the recent late-round draft choices shows a few intersections of opportunity in 2025. Who are the recent, unproven late-round picks who are essential to the Ravens' successes in 2025?

Andrew Vorhees, Guard

2023 draft choice: Seventh-round, 229th selection

Vorhees would not have been a seventh-round draft choice if not for an injury suffered at the NFL Combine when he was coming out in 2023. Most projections had him as a fringe third or fourth-round prospect, which makes Baltimore's willingness to eye him as a long-game play an interesting opportunity to finally come to life. 

The long game has been played. Vorhees claimed a starting job in 2024 leaving camp but as Roger Rosengarten claimed the right tackle spot, Vorhees had an injury that pushed Patrick Mekari inside to guard. Vorhees never got the job back. 

Mekari is gone now. With his biggest competition looming in a rookie draft choice (Emery Jones) who may not be ready for the start of camp, now is the time for Vorhees to take another step forward and not just win a job out of camp but also keep it for the year ahead.

Tavius Robinson, EDGE defender

2023 draft choice: Fourth-round, 124th selection

Robinson is an ascending talent who should be a prominent role player for the pass rush group in 2025. He played nearly 500 snaps on defense in 2024 as a second-year player and has been a prominent special teamer in each of his first two seasons. Robinson has the right build to live on the edge and showed disruptive ability with burst and length. 

Amid a group of edge rushers that also include Odafe Oweh and veteran Kyle Van Noy in a contract year, plus rookie Mike Green and second-year top-100 draft choice Adisa Isaac, the Ravens have a number of options to go with. But that depth will be sorely needed to keep pressure high on opposing quarterbacks late into the season and Robinson should be considered the No. 3 until proven otherwise, making him a key contributor.

Tyler Loop, Kicker

2025 draft choice: Sixth-round, 186th selection

Perhaps taking a rookie kicker as the third name here is cheating a bit. Safety Sanoussi Kane or wide receiver Tez Walker could have been viable choices, too. But Loop is replacing Justin Tucker for Baltimore, which has long enjoyed some of the best kicking in the game with Tucker holding the position down. 2024 wasn't his best effort and his career in Baltimore came to an unsettling, unceremonious end. 

Loop has been tabbed as the heir. This team can ill afford to endure a major regression in the kicking game, as every margin could be the deciding one in a late-season, high-stakes contest. That puts Loop uniquely in the spotlight for how well he performs — and how quickly he settles in. 

Baltimore Ravens could find their Justin Tucker replacement south of the border should things go awry with Tyler Loop

You don’t see that power everyday.
