The Baltimore Ravens are ranked a Top 5 team after the 2025 NFL Draft
Following the 2025 NFL Draft, a few new power rankings have been released and a common continues. The Baltimore Ravens are ranked a top five team as they once more look to continue contending for a Super Bowl.
USA Today’s Nate Davis: 2 (Previous: 3)
“Perhaps you don’t love the choice of second-round OLB Mike Green philosophically – which is especially puzzling for an organization that now appears appropriately poised to part with K Justin Tucker after drafting a new one. Yet it’s also hard to deny that a team that’s gone 25-9 over the past two regular seasons seems to be picking up steam, especially given QB Lamar Jackson’s amazing knack for continuous improvement.”
ESPN’s Jamison Hensley: 5 (Previously: 5)
“The Ravens’ first two draft picks were defensive players who ranked among Mel Kiper Jr.’s top 25 prospects: safety Malaki Starks and edge rusher Mike Green. Both will immediately make an impact on a Baltimore pass defense that allowed 244.1 yards per game in 2024, the franchise’s third worst over the past 25 seasons. Baltimore believes Starks’ speed will reduce explosive plays, while Green’s explosiveness will disrupt quarterbacks. This combination should help finish off games for the Ravens, who allowed a league-worst 14 touchdown passes in the fourth quarter last season.”
RotoBaller’s Quincy Milton III: 4 (Previously: N/A)
“The Ravens find a way to be relevant every year that Lamar Jackson is healthy. There is no reason to expect anything less this season. Baltimore should compete well in the AFC North and will look to finally get back over the hump and into the Super Bowl.”
