Rd 1 Pick 27 Shemar Stewart Texas A&M · Edge · Junior

Daniel Jeremiah has the Ravens selecting a physical edge rusher.

Stewart just feels like a Raven to me. He’s big, explosive and disruptive. The production will come.

Round 1 – Pick 27 Princely Umanmielen EDGE Ole Miss • Sr • 6’4″ / 255 lbs

CBS Sports has the Ravens landing an athletic edge rusher.

I’m not sure Princely Umanmielen will ever develop into a great run defender off the edge, but his ability against the run is more than good enough when you consider his potential as a pass rusher. He didn’t pick up 10.5 sacks in the SEC last season by accident.

PFN has Baltimore drafting a dual-threat linebacker that can rush the passer and stop the run.

Jihaad Campbell possesses the kind of playmaking gene that coaches dream of, and he’s no slouch as a blitzer or in the Sam role rushing off the edge. In a world where positionless football becomes ever more present, Campbell has every available tool in the shed. The only thing keeping him from ascending into blue-chip territory is a lack of instantaneous run-key instincts and inconsistencies as a reactive run defender.

Baltimore Ravens: Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State

The Athletic has Baltimore adding a physical offensive tackle.

Obviously, the Ravens must be comfortable with Simmons’ medicals. They’ll get a better idea of his health at next week’s Scouting Combine. Before his 2024 season-ending knee injury, Simmons was arguably the top offensive tackle in this draft class. Simmons, who is 6-5 and 310 pounds, is scheme versatile and has all the attributes of a book-end NFL offensive tackle. He also has experience playing both the left and right sides. With starting left tackle Ronnie Stanley and left guard Patrick Mekari heading toward free agency, the Ravens need to come out of this draft with a plug-and-play starter. As long as he’s healthy, Simmons fits the profile.

Pro Football Focus has Baltimore adding an interior offensive lineman.

BALTIMORE RAVENS: IOL TYLER BOOKER, ALABAMA

Booker would provide the Ravens with an interior people mover for their potent rushing offense. Baltimore is right at the cusp of winning a Super Bowl, so the front office might as well invest in the team’s biggest strength: running the football.
