The Ravens are looking to regroup after exiting the playoffs via a disastrous 17-10 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC title game.
The Ravens are 20th in the NFL in cap space, with $7.3 million available, and there will be critical decisions regarding several vital contributors and two All-Pros. And they’re spending about $120+ million plus on the offensive side of the football.
Baltimore also has 29 players scheduled to hit free agency, and some tough decisions will be made regarding who returns to Baltimore.
With the Reese’s Senior Bowl complete and draft coverage set to begin, we’re looking at an updated mock draft roundup for the Ravens.

Darius Robinson, DE, MissouriIf there was one big riser from Senior Bowl week, it was Robinson. The 6-foot-5 286-pounder showed great power and movement ability while playing at both defensive end and defensive tackle during practices. His versatility is a gift, and the Ravens love large outside pass-rushers. With Justin Madubuike and Jadeveon Clowney entering free agency, there’s a need. There’s some Cameron Jordan ability here in Robinson’s game — he had 8.5 sacks in 2023 — and his stock is soaring like a rocket.
62. Baltimore Ravens
Javon Bullard, S, Georgia
The Baltimore defense is built from the inside out, and the team will be tasked with re-signing defensive tackle Justin Madubuike and linebacker Patrick Queen in free agency. If either player leaves, this pick would pivot to that respective position. For now, I’m focusing on safety, though. Bullard is an instinctive safety with four interceptions, 11 pass breakups and 3.5 sacks over the past two seasons. His ability to thrive both in the box and in coverage would provide Baltimore an answer at the position if free agent Geno Stone can’t be retained.

We could see the Patriots target the top receiver early on and then jump back into the first round to grab Nix, who had a strong 2023 campaign.

Darius Robinson will be one of the biggest risers over the next few weeks. He is a powerful prospect who has some shock in his hands and is valuable as a run defender.

The 33rd Team becomes the third platform to Mock Robinson to Baltimore.

Class: SeniorFit: Another big riser coming out of the Senior Bowl week is Missouri DL Darius Robinson. Robinson is a tweener, but showed he could win wherever he lined up on the defensive line.
With the Baltimore Ravens likely losing multiple defensive linemen in free agency, adding a player who can align inside and outside is an excellent fit this late in the first round.
