What are the Ravens’ draft picks valued at?
In the 1990s, Hall of Fame Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Jimmy Johnson devised a value chart for the NFL Draft, assigning point values to all picks from No. 1 to Mr. Irrelevant. To this day its still in use, though discrepancies are attributed with it being 30+ years old.
But with its standard, we can calculate what the Ravens draft picks are valued at for the 2025 NFL Draft.
According to the Jimmy Johnson Chart, the Ravens have 1,269.8 points.
Ravens 2025 NFL Draft Picks & JJ Values
- 1 — 27 (680)
- 2 — 59 (310)
- 3 — 91 (136)
- 4 — 129 (43)
- 4 — 136 (38)
- 5 — 176 (21)
- 6 — 183 (17.6)
- 6 — 203 (9.8)
- 6 — 210 (7)
- 6 — 212 (6.2)
- 7 — 243 (1)
The total value of the Ravens’ picks is just over what would be the No. 11 pick held by the San Francisco 49ers, at 1,250. Therefore, moving into the Top 10 is all but impossible by the chart standard.
However, it would be all but insanity for:
- The Ravens to offer their entire draft class for a Top 10 pick
- Ludicrous for a team like the New Orleans Saints (1,350) or New York Jets (1,500) to not accept gaining 11 draft picks.
So, rather than going the Ricky Williams trade route, what are some potential areas the Ravens could move?
NFL.com’s Chad Reuter in a recent mock draft suggested the following:
Ravens – Chiefs trade
Ravens send: R1 P27 (680), R4 P129 (43) | Total: 723
Chiefs send: R1 P31 (600), R3 P95 (120) | Total: 720
Value: Ravens -3 points
Strictly value, this is an equal trade. Three points are all but negligible.
However, not just in a point value vacuum, it’s a big benefit. They don’t lose the 80 points as they still have the player they want down further, and then add the boost from the later pick-swap. If anything, they then gain value.
Trade Up Option
The Ravens boast eight Day 3 picks. And while those picks won’t help much jumping around on the first two nights of the draft, they will allow the Ravens to move up on Day 3 to select the players they’re most confident in.
The longest distance between picks for the Ravens comes after their second fourth-round pick (No. 136) and their fifth-round compensatory pick (No. 176). If they want to climb into mid-to-late fifth-round, they can utilize any of their four sixth-round selections.
Ravens – Cardinals trade
Ravens send: R5 P176 (21), R6 P203 (9.8) | Total 30.8
Cardinals send: R5 P152 (30.6) | Total: 30.6
Value: Ravens -0.2 points
This trade avoids the Ravens from witnessing a 40-pick run where they watch as the guys they like are picked. It gets them to pick 16 players after their last fourth-round pick and likely nabs the player they have interest in.
It’s likely the Cardinals want to trade the No. 152 pick as they only have one more pick in the draft following the selection. They only have a Round 7, No. 225 pick following the No. 152 pick. Gaining an extra draft pick and moving down — especially if the prospects aren’t who they’re interested in — would be beneficial.
