With the first wave of NFL free agency over, all eyes around the league will turn toward pro days and one final month-long push toward April’s NFL draft.
Baltimore has needs, but after a solid start to the free agency process, the first-round pick (No. 30) could be about nagging the best player available or a potential building block in the trenches.
Mock draft season is in full swing, and most draft experts and pundits believe the Ravens are set for a rebuild in the trenches.
With the Top 30 visits increasing, we’re looking for updated options for Baltimore at pick No. 30.

30. Baltimore Ravens (13-4)
Jordan Morgan, OT, Arizona (6-5, 311 pounds)
The Ravens kept Ronnie Stanley on a restructured. contract but could still look at the near future of outside protection with Stanley turning 31 in March and some concerns at right tackle.

47. Baltimore Ravens (via Giants)
Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida
The Ravens’ offensive needs (guard and wide receiver) match perfectly with what’s available on Day 2, making me comfortable with having them move out of Round 1 in this scenario. While Baltimore moved out of pick 30, I’d have them getting pick 47 and 70 in return.This gives them four swings on Day 2 of the draft, where I start with an excellent separator in Pearsall. They can also get Christian Haynes, a starter at guard, with pick 62 in this round before picking at 70 and 93.
Fox Sports
Joel Klatt has Baltimore adding a a powerful wide receiver.
30. Baltimore Ravens — WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
We know great defense won’t be enough, even if you play well against Patrick Mahomes. The type of players who succeed the best with Lamar Jackson are receivers who can win 50/50 balls. Coleman fits that mold.
Yahoo Sports
Yahoo Sports has Baltimore reloading at offensive tackle.
30. Baltimore Ravens — Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU
This offensive line class is so deep that a player like Suamataia, who is very talented but still raw, would usually climb up about 10 spots higher because of the usual lack of talent at the position. Instead, here is a player with real upside as a blindside blocker available for the Ravens. Suamataia will need development, but would give the Ravens a potential needle-mover in the long term, while also helping shore up a position of need.
PFF
PFF has Baltimore landing the fastest player in the draft in Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy.
“Mr. 4.21” likely booked a ticket to the first round with his record-breaking 40-yard dash at the scouting combine. I could see the Ravens as a potential landing spot. Getting that constant deep threat on the field would open things up for Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews underneath.
CBS Sports
CBS Sports has Baltimore adding a a versatile edge rusher.

POSITION RNK
6thBaltimore has lost a few key pieces on the offensive line so it is difficult to see it not addressing that unit in the first round. The Ravens may love a future with Ben Cleveland, Andrew Vorhees as their starting offensive guards and Patrick Mekari as their starting offensive tackle, but there are too many unknowns for a contender to feel comfortable. Despite all that, a run on the position has already taken place and the franchise is left filling the void of Jadeveon Clowney.

30. Baltimore Ravens: Jordan Morgan, OL, Arizona
Brugler has Morgan as his No. 32-ranked player, so it’s not like taking him here is a huge reach. However, it does feel a bit like the Ravens prioritized need over “best player available,” which they traditionally don’t do. That’s what happens, though, when you have to replace three starters up front and don’t necessarily have the salary cap space to do it in free agency. That’s also what happens when you try and trade out of the first round, but there are no suitors. Morgan could immediately plug in at right tackle, replacing Morgan Moses, who was traded to the Jets. He also played a lot of left tackle at Arizona, so he’d be an option to shift to Lamar Jackson’s blind side if Ronnie Stanley departs after the 2024 season. — Jeff Zrebiec

Mel Kiper has Baltimore landing an elite offensive tackle.
30. Baltimore Ravens
Amarius Mims, OT, GeorgiaThe Ravens’ trade of Morgan Moses piqued my interest. Do they believe 2022 fourth-rounder Daniel Faalele is ready to step into the starting job at right tackle, or are they planning to draft a tackle? And could the answer be yes to both? I’m leaning toward the latter outcome. Faalele hasn’t shown enough to be the entrenched starter, and maybe general manager Eric DeCosta is thinking about the future along the offensive line. This is the draft to do that.
Mims is the perfect case of a high-ceiling, high-risk prospect.
