The Ravens earned the max number of comp picks available for the 2025 draft.
When the Ravens let a handful of talented players walk last season, the expectation was they’d be well rewarded the following year. That vision has been fulfilled with the rest of the draft order announced today, including the compensatory picks.
The Ravens earned the maximum four comp picks allowed in the 2025 draft: a fourth-rounder (136), a fifth-rounder (176), and two sixth-round picks (210 and 212).

The Ravens lost eight players last year that counted toward the comp-pick formula. Patrick Queen was the big one, going for a $13.6 million per year salary that earned the Ravens a fourth, pick number 136. John Simpson and Jadeveon Clowney each counted towards a fifth-round pick but signing Derrick Henry canceled out Simpson, giving the Ravens pick number 176 for Clowney. Geno Stone and Kevin Zeitler earned the Ravens pick numbers 210 and 212 in the sixth round. Ronald Darby also counted a sixth-round pick in the formula as well as Devin Duvernay and Gus Edwards as seventh-round picks, but each team can only earn a max of four compensatory picks in each draft so they don’t count.
As the Ravens get rewarded for last year’s free agency losses, it’s nice to keep the picks in mind as this year’s free agency period starts. Brandon Stephens and Patrick Mekari look to have already earned spots in the formula for the 2026 draft.
