Was this a successful draft for the Baltimore Ravens? 

They were able to fill some big roster needs and build depth at key positions. 

So, here are A to Z Sports' final draft grades for the Ravens: 


Round 1, No. 27: Georgia S Malaki Starks

Dec 7, 2024; Atlanta, GA, USA; Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Malaki Starks (24) practices before the 2024 SEC Championship game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

It's very possible that in a short time, the NFL will be asking themselves why they allowed Malaki Starks to fall to the Ravens. Starks is an impact player, who brings a lot of athleticism to the table. A to Z Sports' Draft Experts have Starks listed as having All-Pro Potential. 

Grade: A


Round 2, No. 59: Marshall EDGE Mike Green

While getting Mike Green in the second round could feel like a win for the Ravens, his off-the-field issues make this a poor pick. They already have Justin Tucker who is dealing with sexual misconduct allegations, and now there's Green who has faced two different allegations of sexual assault in high school and college. 

Grade: C


Round 3, No. 91: LSU OL Emery Jones Jr.

Oct 26, 2024; College Station, Texas, USA; LSU Tigers offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. (50) lines up during the second quarter against the Texas A&M Aggies. The Aggies defeated the Tigers 38-23; at Kyle Field.

Emery Jones was a three-year starer at LSU, and while his experience is at tackle, he is certainly a candidate they can move inside to fill their need at guard. They also can always move him outside if injuries were to impact Ronnie Stanley or Roger Rosengarten. 

Grade: B+


Round 4, No. 129: Cal LB Teddye Buchanan

Teddye Buchanan fills a hole for the Ravens after they lost some of their inside linebackers in free agency. He had success after transferring from UC Davis to California, finishing the 2024 season with 114 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, five sacks and two interceptions.

Grade: B


Round 5, No. 141: Alabama A&M OT Carson Vinson

Another pick that adds depth at the tackle position, Carson Vinson started five seasons at Alabama A&M. 

Grade: B


Round 6, No. 178: Western Michigan CB Bilhal Kone

Feb 28, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Western Michigan defensive back Bilhal Kone (DB18) participates in drills during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Bilhal Kone brings speed to the cornerback position and add much needed depth that the Ravens were targeting in this draft. 


Round 6, No. 186: Arizona K Tyler Loop

Considering the situation surrounding Justin Tucker, the Ravens want to prepare for the future and this could also signal that they are preparing to take action due to the number of allegations. 

Grade: A


Round 6, No. 203: Colorado WR LaJohntay Wester

Mar 1, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Colorado wideout Lajohntay Wester (WO46) during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Along with adding another explosive player to the receiver room, LaJohntay Wester also is a punt returner, having been named the American Athletic Conference (AAC) Special Teams Player of the Year in 2023. 

Grade: A


Round 6, No. 210: Virginia Tech T Aeneas Peebles

Feb 27, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Virginia Tech defensive lineman Aeneas Peebles (DL26) participates in drills during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium

Aeneas Peebles is an undersized defensive tackle, but he performed well as a pass rusher and in the run game. There are concerns about his transition to the NFL, but overall he is a solid choice for the Ravens, who can help him prepare to play professionally. 

Grade: A-


Round 6, No. 212: Rutgers CB Robert Longerbeam

Feb 28, 2025; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Rutgers defensive back Robert Longerbeam (DB19) participates in drills during the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.

This is the second cornerback the Ravens drafted, so it's another depth piece. While he's undersized, Longerbeam has a lot of speed and impressed at the NFL Combine. 

Grade: B-


Round 7, No. 243: LSU G Garrett Dellinger

Sep 30, 2023; Oxford, Mississippi, USA; LSU Tigers offensive linemen Garrett Dellinger (72) blocks Mississippi Rebels defensive linemen Jared Ivey (15) during the first half at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium

If the Ravens decide not to move either of the tackles they drafted to the inside, they now have Garrett Dellinger, who was primarily positioned at left guard at LSU. He played alongside Will Campbell, who was selected by the Patriots in the first round. 

Grade: B-


Final Word

It seems like the Ravens focused more on depth in this draft, but they were able to get some key pieces that they have both time and the opportunity to develop. 

Final Grade: B
