Much of the Baltimore Ravens‘ recent success has been built through the NFL Draft, and with their draft picks in the 2025 cycle, they’ll be able to keep the machine humming. Here’s a look at the capital the Ravens will have at their disposal next April.
What Are the Baltimore Ravens Draft Picks in 2025?

How Many Picks Do the Ravens Have in the 2025 NFL Draft?
Currently, the Ravens have seven picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. All seven picks are the Ravens’ original selections.
In all but one draft since 2018, the Ravens have had eight or more selections. Accruing capital has been a staple during John Harbaugh’s tenure.
Thus, it stands to reason that, either through the compensatory formula or through other trades, more picks could be on the way ahead of April.
What Are the Ravens’ Biggest Needs in 2025?
Offensive line, offensive line, and offensive line. That’s the first order of business for the Ravens in the 2025 NFL Draft. Left tackle Ronnie Stanley Jr.’s later career in Baltimore has been marred by injuries. He’s also set to be a free agent, and he’s not the only one.
On the interior offensive line, Ben Cleveland is another pending free agent, and the right guard spot is unsettled across from him. To top it off, Swiss Army Knife lineman Patrick Mekari is yet another 2025 free agent.
There’s a scenario where the Ravens are searching for three new starters on the offensive line, as well as more depth, in the 2025 NFL Draft. Tyler Linderbaum and Roger Rosengarten provide stability at their respective spots, but little is settled beyond them.
Elsewhere on offense, WR3 behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman could soon be a need again. Nelson Agholor’s contract expires after 2024, and rookie Tez Walker is still an unproven asset.
On defense, there are needs to be cognizant of as well. Edge rushers Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh are both scheduled to be free agents after the 2025 season, so the Ravens could dip into the 2025 NFL Draft EDGE class as a preemptive measure.
At the second level, WILL linebacker is up in the air alongside Roquan Smith. Trenton Simpson will get a chance to prove himself there in 2024, but if he falls short, a prospect like Harold Perkins or Jaishawn Barham could be coveted by Baltimore.
Lastly, cornerback could still be on the radar as a need, even after the addition of Nate Wiggins. Brandon Stephens will be a free agent in 2025, leaving a potential void. At the very least, depth in the secondary could be an issue.
