With a new coach, the Baltimore Ravens face an extremely important draft from an organizational standpoint. Will they make enough good picks through seven rounds to keep them among the NFL elite? Here is the Ravens’ 2026 NFL Mock Draft roundup with the pre-draft cycle ending.
The Ravens have an ample supply of 11 picks. They have four picks in the fifth round. That gives them some power to possibly trade up for a better Day 2 selection. Their Round 1 pick was traded to the Raiders, but came back because the deal for Maxx Crosby got voided when he failed a physical.
Here’s what the draft gurus think they will do.

Crean said this selection is based mainly on the remaining players on the draft board.
“The Ravens will almost always take the best player available, regardless of positional value, and it usually works out (see: safety Kyle Hamilton, center Tyler Linderbaum),” Crean wrote. “Penn State guard Vega Ioane is the best player left, and bonus points that he fits a need Baltimore has to better protect Lamar Jackson.”

Quarterback Lamar Jackson would be on board with this selection, for sure.
“Tyson would be a fun new weapon for offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, who might see some similarities between the Arizona State product and a player he coached with the Bears last season, Luther Burden III,” Jeremiah wrote.

McShay noted the short-arm problem facing Fano. But there’s a possibility of a move inside.
“The Utah tackle is one of the top three offensive linemen in the class,” McShay wrote. “His short arms (32 7/8 inches at pro day and 32 1/8 inches at the combine, the type of disparity that has become common among many prospects the past two years) have caused concerns about his ability to play on the perimeter in the NFL. For Baltimore, a pretty great fallback would be converting Fano to center (following Tyler Linderbaum’s departure), where I think he’d be elite.”
Yates agreed, adding, “No matter what position Fano ends up at, he has premier fluidity and movement skills (4.91-second 40-yard dash) for an offensive lineman.”

Will the Ravens pivot to a different position? Adding a replacement for Isaiah Likely has to at least be on the board.
“Much of the talk surrounding new coach Jesse Minter’s arrival has centered on what changes might be in store for the defense,” Middlehurst-Schwartz wrote. “But the schematic shift from Todd Monken to Declan Doyle on offense might not be the smoothest. Sadiq could help create mismatches while allowing the attack to continue living out of two-tight-end sets.”
Schrader likes the measurable speed.
“Sadiq ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, the fastest time for a tight end since at least 2003,” Schrader wrote. “He also caught 51 passes last season, the most ever by an Oregon tight end. Mark Andrews is back in Baltimore, but he’s now in his 30s. And this offense likes having multiple impact players at the position.”
OT Francis Mauigoa, Miami

This is another player who could actually move inside.
“He has played right tackle, but has the look of a dominating guard,” Prisco wrote. “They have had great success moving college tackles inside to guard over the years with guys like Marshal Yanda.”
EDGE Reuben Bain Jr., Miami

This would be a steal. Bain will not last this long.
“Picking Bain, who most certainly plays like a Raven − short arms and all − would allow for an alternate fulfillment of GM Eric DeCosta’s alleged plan to pair Trey Hendrickson and Maxx Crosby before Baltimore backed out on its trade with the Raiders for the latter,” Davis wrote. “Bain’s T-rex limbs didn’t stop him from being extremely productive – often against NFL-caliber offensive tackles – for the ‘Canes. He bulled his way to 9½ sacks and 15½ TFLs last season and was a menace during the College Football Playoff.”
Whichever direction the Ravens go, they have to make good on their decision to recoup the pick by nixing the trade for Crosby. It’s a chance to make a memorable decision, either for the best, worst, or somewhere in between.
