After a heartbreaking loss to the Bills on Sunday, the Ravens’ 2025 NFL Draft spot is determined and set following their divisional playoff loss.
Baltimore will have the 27th overall pick in the first round, one spot ahead of the Detroit Lions and just behind the Los Angeles Rams.
With the college football playoffs now complete, Mel Kiper released his first mock draft for ESPN, and he has the Ravens added to the secondary.
Kiper mocked East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. to the Ravens at No. 27 overall.
“Teams will be watching Revel’s medicals as he recovers from a torn ACL that ended his 2024 season in September,” Kiper wrote. “He has tremendous size (6-foot-3) and leans on his strong instincts to make plays. Revel – who would be the first East Carolina first-rounder since Chris Johnson in 2008 – had two interceptions in three games this season, including a pick-six.
“Now picture Revel in the Baltimore secondary with Marlon Humphrey, Nate Wiggins and Kyle Hamilton. He could fill free agent Brandon Stephens’ void and help limit the big plays that burned the Ravens this season; they allowed 58 completions for 20 or more yards, third most in the league.”
The Ravens have picked at No. 27 twice in franchise history, selecting wide receiver Rashod Bateman in 2021 and cornerback Jimmy Smith in 2011.
Even after the Nate Wiggins selection last year, Cornerback is another clear need.
Revel was on his way to becoming a top-20 pick before tearing his ACL early in the season. He projects as an impactful outside NFL cornerback.
Baltimore’s offseason needs could include a replacement at left tackle for Ronnie Stanley.
