After a heartbreaking loss to the Bills, 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. The Ravens have picked at No. 27 twice in franchise history, selecting wide receiver Rashod Bateman in 2021 and cornerback Jimmy Smith in 2011.
Baltimore’s offseason needs could include replacing Ronnie Stanley at left tackle, a cornerback to potentially replace Brandon Stephens, an offensive guard, and another wide receiver.
With the Super Bowl completed and using the mock draft simulator from PFF, we’re revealing our second Ravens Wire 7-round mock draft, with April’s selection process quickly approaching.
Rd 1 pick 27: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri

According to PFF College, Membou had the highest offensive grade (86.7) of anyone on the team this season.
He also had a pass-blocking grade of 86.6 and a run-blocking grade of 81.0. Both grades rank in the top 17 among offensive tackles in the FBS. He is also one of eight tackles with a pass-blocking and run-blocking grade north of 80.
Rd 2 pick 59: Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

Higgins, who started his college career at Eastern Kentucky, earned All-American honors in 2024 when he caught 87 passes for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns.
Rd 4 pick 127: Nick Emmanwori, DB, South Carolina

Emmanwori is a massive safety prospect with legitimate instincts and ball skills who become a Swiss army knife at two levels.
Rd 4 pick 135: Luke Kandra, OL, Cincinnati

Kandra was stout at Cincinnati over the last two years and has a good chance of getting drafted during the first four rounds of the NFL Draft this April. The guard posted a 76.1 PFF grade this past season and an 81.5 grade in 2023.
Rd 5 pick 175: Emory Jones, OL, LSU

Jones earned second-team All-SEC honors for the second consecutive year. Jones took over the starting job at right tackle in week three of his freshman campaign. There were growing pains in 2022, but in 2023, Jones became one of the best tackles in the SEC. It led to Jones appearing in the first round of some mock drafts entering 2024. Jones should slide to guard at the next level. Jones saw 33 snaps at right guard in 2023. Jones earned all-conference honors in 2023 and 2024 and leaves LSU as one of the most productive tackles in program history.
Rd 6 pick 182: Cody Simon, LB, Ohio State
Ohio State Buckeyes linebacker Cody Simon (0) celebrates a sack during the College Football Playoff quarterfinal against the Oregon Ducks at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. on Jan. 1, 2025. Ohio State won 41-21.
During his time at Ohio State, Simon played in 44 games and started in 15. With Ohio State often utilizing just two linebackers at a time, Simon had to take more of a backseat as the No. 3 guy in the rotation. The 6’2″, 235-pound linebacker is athletic and can easily translate to the Mike position in a 4-3 or 3-4 base defense. Simon is tough against the run and plays strong, while flashing his athleticism as a blitzer.
Rd 6 pick 202: Jimmy Horn Jr., WR, Colorado

Despite being only 5-foot-8 and 171 pounds, Horn consistently got separation and showed an ability to defeat man coverage. After he caught 37 passes for 441 yards this season, Horn Jr. was invited to the NFL Scouting Combine.
Rd 6 pick 208: Malachi Moore, DB, Alabama

Moore is a 6-foot, 180-pound Safety. A fifth-year senior, Moore was a second-team Associated Press All-American after making 70 tackles with two interceptions and a team-leading eight-pass breakup. Moore also had three tackles for loss, one sack, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.
Rd 6 pick 216: Jamon Dumas-Johnson, LB, Kentucky

Dumas-Johnson Played in 49 career games with 34 starts (38 career games with 24 starting assignments at Georgia and 11 at UK). A rangy, athletic linebacker, Dumas-Johnson helped the Bulldogs win back-to-back national titles.
Rd 7 pick 244: Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville

Lamar Jackson needs a backup and Shough could provide the perfect No. 2 for Baltimore. Shough transferred from Texas Tech to play his final year of collegiate eligibility with the Cardinals. Starting all 12 games, Shough completed 63.2 percent of his passes for 3,195 yards and 23 touchdowns to just six interceptions. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound signal caller is the 13th quarterback in school history to throw for 3,000 yards in a single season, most recently accomplished by Jack Plummer last year.
