The latest mock drafts foresee the Ravens landing a blocker capable of starting at guard or right tackle immediately and eventually on the blindside.
In the latest round of mock drafts, most analysts still foresee the Baltimore Ravens taking an offensive lineman. However, this time around, the most commonly projected prospect to them in the first round is a former Pac-12 standout who could be a plug-and-play starter at either guard spot or right tackle as a rookie and eventually take over for Ronnie Stanley.
NFL Network’s Peter Schrager [April 16]
No. 30 — Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
The Alabama-to-Baltimore pipeline remains strong, even with Ozzie Newsome in an advisory role and Eric DeCosta steering the ship. McKinstry is smooth and fluid, and though he didn’t run the fastest 40 in Indy, his play speed wasn’t a problem in Tuscaloosa.
NFL Network’s Dan Parr [April 18]
No. 30 — Mike Sainristil, CB, Michigan
Surprise! Yes, I know this is higher than most expect Sainristil to go. Do the Ravens care? Heck no. They’ve picked a Michigan player in three of the last four drafts, and you know Jim Harbaugh has already given a glowing review to his brother when it comes to the nickel corner’s abilities.
CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones [April 18]
No. 30 — Graham Barton, IOL, Duke
Baltimore has a lot of holes to fill along its offensive line. Barton has versatility the Ravens can use.
CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli [April 20]
No. 30 — Graham Barton, IOL, Duke
Nearly everybody you talk to believes Graham Barton is a good player; they just can’t reach a consensus on where he’ll be a good player. But that’s kind of the selling point. Barton can play across the entire offensive line, and the Ravens could find a home for him at guard or right tackle.
NBC Sports’ Connor Rogers [April 17]
No. 30 — Ja’Lynn Polk, WR, Washington
Polk’s energetic, fearless style of play fits the identity of the Ravens perfectly. He’ll go over the middle of the field and make tough grabs with tremendous concentration. Plus, I think he’s the best run-blocking receiver in the draft.
Pro Football Focus’ Nathan Jahnke [April 17]
No. 30 — Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas
While the Ravens offense had an excellent season and now has Derrick Henry, there is still plenty of room for improvement. Zay Flowers had a promising rookie season, but he’s the only wide receiver on the roster who is assured a roster spot by 2025. Mitchell’s size and route tree could complement Flowers well in the Ravens offense.
Fox Sports’ David Helman and Carmen Vitali [April 18]
No. 30 — Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona
I was torn here. It’d be very on-brand to see the Ravens coolly select a talented corner like Kool-Aid McKinstry in this spot. Ultimately, the holes on the offensive line are a bit too concerning. It doesn’t fit the Ravens’ MO to draft for need, but in this case I think Morgan is talented enough and versatile enough that it’s a good call.
USA Today’s Nate Davis [April 22]
No. 30 — Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia
A right tackle who already knows OC Todd Monken’s playbook, Mims’ 87-inch wingspan and 6-8, 340-pound frame help him block out the sun (perhaps better than the moon). He could start straight away following the trade of previous RT Morgan Moses to the Jets.
Yahoo Sports’ Charles McDonald & Nate Tice [April 21]
No. 30 — Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
The Ravens need reinforcements at offensive line, and Guyton is a good athlete who is an easy mover in space but still needs work in refining his game. He has quality starting tackle upside, something so hard to find at this point in the draft, and wouldn’t necessarily need to play right away. He would also give them a player to keep the bottom from falling out in case Ronnie Stanley’s career keeps trending downward.
The Athletic’s Dane Brugler [April 17]
No. 30 — Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona
Considered a tackle by some teams and a guard by others, Morgan would provide immediate depth at both spots for the Ravens. He is well schooled as both a run blocker and pass protector and has the athletic balance to match up well against NFL defensive linemen.
No. 62 — Xavier Legette, WR, South Carolina
No. 93 — Malik Mustapha, DB, Wake Forest
No. 113 — Khyree Jackson, CB, Oregon
No. 130 — Mohamed Kamara, EDGE, Colorado State
The Ravens have high hopes for previous early-round picks Odafe Oweh and David Ojabo, but they will likely draft more pass-rush help at some point in the first four rounds. Although undersized, Kamara is relentless and has disruptive potential as a subpackage rusher.
No. 165 — Matt Goncalves, OG, Pittsburgh
No. 218 — Marist Liufau, LB, Notre Dame
No. 228 — Tarheeb Still, CB, Maryland
No. 250 — Logan Lee, DL, Iowa
NFL Network’s Chad Reuter [April 19]
No. 30 — Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
Baltimore traded starting right tackle Morgan Moses to the Jets in March, so bringing in Guyton to compete with Daniel Faalele makes a ton of sense. Guyton also played a bit of left tackle at Oklahoma, so he could back up 2025 free agent Ronnie Stanley if the veteran loses time to injury again.
No. 62 — Jaylen Wright, RB, Tennessee
No. 93 — Cole Bishop, DB, Utah
No. 113 — Jalen McMillan, WR, Washington
No. 130 — Jaylen Harrell, EDGE, Michigan
No. 165 — Isaiah Adams, OG, Illinois
No. 218 — Qwan’tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto Argonauts (CFL)
No. 228 — Fabien Lovett Sr., DT, Florida State
No. 250 — Marist Liufau, LB, Notre Dame
Sporting News’ Vinnie Iyer [April 18]
No. 30 — Graham Barton, OT, Duke
The Ravens need to get an option for either right tackle or left guard to keep the strength of their offensive line intact after they moved on from Morgan Moses and Kevin Zeitler. Barton is a candidate to be a strong, immediate starter at either position, maybe best suited to dominate inside.
No. 62 — Jermaine Burton, WR, Alabama
Burton gives the Ravens a classic slot to provide some much-needed youthful depth behind Zay Flowers.
No. 93 — Darian Taylor-Demerson, S, Texas Tech
The Ravens can target him as the versatile cover man to replace Geno Stone behind Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams.
No. 113 — DeWayne Carter, DT, Duke
No. 130 — Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forest
No. 165 — Jordan Travis, QB, Florida State
No. 218 — Jabari Small, RB, Tennessee
No. 228 — Trey Taylor, S, Air Force
No. 250 — Jacob Monk, C, Duke
CBS Sports’ Josh Edwards [April 19]
No. 30 — Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma
After trading Morgan Moses to the Jets, Baltimore had a void at right tackle. The selection of Tyler Guyton is a reinvestment in the position. Ronnie Stanley has been unable to stay healthy on the left side so the Ravens really do need to achieve some stability in those roles.
No. 62 — Junior Colson, LB, Michigan
No. 93 — Austin Booker, EDGE, Kansas
No. 113 — Jermaine Burton, WR, Alabama
No. 130 — Decamerion Richardson, CB, Mississippi State
No. 165 — Keaton Bills, OG, Utah
No. 218 — Jordan Travis, QB, Florida State
No. 228 — Tyler Davis, DT, Clemson
No. 250 — Mark Perry, S, TCU
The 33rd Team’s Marcus Mosher [April 15]
No. 30 — Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona
The Baltimore Ravens lost three starters on their offensive line this offseason, but the draft should help them replenish their needs. Jordan Morgan was a left tackle at Arizona, but he can play either tackle or guard. He could be their starting right tackle in 2024 and potentially switch back to left tackle in the near future.
No. 62 — Chris Braswell, EDGE, Alabama
No. 93 — Jalen McMillan, WR, Washington
No. 113 — MarShawn Lloyd, RB, USC
No. 130 — Trevor Keegan, OG, Michigan
No. 165 — Brennan Jackson, EDGE, Washington State
No. 218 — Edefuan Ulofoshio, LB, Washington
No. 228 — Tyler Owens, S, Texas Tech
No. 250 — Jalen Coker, WR, Holy Cross
Pro Football Network’s Ian Cummings [April 20]
No. 30 — Jordan Morgan, OL, Arizona
This is rich for Jordan Morgan on my board, but he’s an energized athlete at around 6’6″, 320 pounds, with the mobility to stick at tackle and the explosion, frame proportions, and physical edge to slide inside and thrive at guard. His versatility could make him an asset.
No. 62 — Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky
Underneath Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers, Malachi Corley has the potential to be an endlessly dynamic RAC weapon in Todd Monken’s offense.
No. 93 — Austin Booker, EDGE, Kansas
Austin Booker must improve his play strength, but his pass-rush sequencing at such a young age is very promising.
No. 113 — Qwan’tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto (CFL)
No. 130 — Jeremiah Trotter Jr., LB, Clemson
No. 165 — Layden Robinson, OG, Texas A&M
No. 218 — Anim Dankwah, OT, Howard
No. 228 — Anthony Gould, WR, Oregon State
No. 250 — Jordan Colbert, S, Rhode Island
The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec [April 22]
No. 30 — Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
The preference here would be to trade back and get an additional Day 2 pick, and I think there’s a decent chance that’s what DeCosta does Thursday night. … For this mock, the Ravens stay put and draft McKinstry, a smart and athletic corner who never missed a game at Alabama and plays with the type of intelligence and intensity that Baltimore would love. At 5-foot-11, 196 pounds, McKinstry doesn’t have elite speed, but he’s long, plays under control and has very good technique. He’ll have a chance to contribute immediately at outside cornerback, where the Ravens lack depth.
