The Baltimore Ravens went into the NFL playoffs as one of the biggest front runners to win a championship. Unfortunately, the organization came up short against the Buffalo Bills this past weekend, falling 27 to 25. That means that the Ravens must now turn their attention to the offseason, and getting the team better.

The 2025 NFL Draft is going to be a big way for the Ravens roster to take a nice step forward. That includes continuing to put solid supports around quarterback Lamar Jackson, and strengthening all levels of the defense. This latest mock draft aimed to do so. 

Round 1, Pick 27: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

Following left tackle Ronnie Stanley signing a massive contract a couple of years ago, he has been often injured and inconsistent. Finding a potential answer long term could be in the cards, and Simmons boasts a ton of intrigue. When healthy, he has an argument as the best blindside protector in the class.

Round 2, Pick 59: Denzel Burke, CB, Ohio State

Cornerback isn’t a massive need on paper, but Brandon Stephens and Tre White don’t look like long term parts of this secondary. Burke is a player who can play outside, as well as nickel, and could potentially transition to safety. He could become a valuable member of the depth on the back end.

Round 3, Pick 91: Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU

Swinson has the profile of a Ravens pass rusher, dense and physical. While he might not be the bendiest rusher of all time, Swinson plays with great power and a relentless motor. It feels like a seamless fit.

Round 4, Pick 127: Chris Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss

Roquan Smith is tremendous, but Malik Harrison is very replaceable. In this mock draft, Paul fell for whatever reason. He is a very athletic second level defender with good eyes and range for days.

Round 4, Pick 135: Kaden Prather, WR, Maryland

Tall, long, explosive, and loose, Prather is the type of athlete that is easy to bet on. He didn’t take the step with Maryland this season that many hoped for, but his best football can still very well be in front of him. Prather is at worst outstanding depth to add to a room with special teams upside.

Round 5, Pick 174: Jordan Phillips, DT, Maryland

There is nothing flashy about Phillips, but he is incredibly physical at the point of attack. At 6-3 and 320 pounds, it’s a very hard defensive tackle to dig out. He brings a nice baseline to impact early running downs.

Round 6, Pick 181: Joshua Gray, IOL, Oregon State

After playing mostly at left tackle early in his career, Gray moved inside to guard this season. Gray also has upside at center as well, offering some position flexibility. He is a gifted mover who still needs to continue adding power to his profile.

Round 6, Pick 201: Riley Leonard, QB, Notre Dame

Leonard feels like an ideal backup to someone like quarterback Lamar Jackson. A really good athlete at the position, Leonard can do a lot of the quarterback run game stuff. While his passing is not up the standard most would like, there are raw tools to develop behind Jackson.

Round 6, Pick 207: Corey Kiner, RB, Cincinnati

At this point in the draft, it’s about trying to find value. Kiner is a really nice combination of contact balance, explosiveness, and vision. He also has enough physicality to compete on special teams as he develops behind Derrick Henry.

Round 6, Pick 211: Maxen Hook, S, Toledo

A Swiss Army knife on the back end, Hook can do a little bit of everything for a defense. He is also one of the better open field tacklers in the entire class, which should translate to special teams as well.

Round 7, Pick 243: Tommi Hill, CB, Nebraska

Hill is a sturdy cover man who has solid movement skills, but is still very inconsistent. There are nice athletics skills to work with, and Hill also boasts impact special teams upside on coverage units. At this point in the draft, you can’t ask for much more.
