Ravens reload the trenches in early 2025 NFL mock drafts
The Ravens are 4-2, back among the NFL’s best teams and Super Bowl favorites in the AFC. Baltimore is amid a Super Bowl window, and a strong 2025 draft could add more years to the chase.
It’s never too early to discuss the NFL draft, and with preparation for Monday night football set to begin, we’re looking at the latest Mock drafts and which road grader could potentially land in Baltimore.

27. Baltimore Ravens (4-2) Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
Jason Reid of ESPN has Baltimore landing an offensive tackle to replace Ronnie Stanley eventually.
Baltimore loves massive offensive linemen who overwhelm defenders at the point of attack. Ersery is just that, even though his game is still raw. He plays with a physical attitude as a run blocker, and his length makes it difficult for blockers to beat him cleanly around the edge. Ronnie Stanley and Patrick Mekari are both in the final years of their contracts, and the Ravens could establish Ersery as the future at left tackle, pairing him with impressive rookie right tackle Roger Rosengarten for the foreseeable future.
Team needs: OL, WR, Edge

26. Baltimore Ravens: Aireontae Ersery OT, Minnesota
Fox Sports has Baltimore landing Ersery as well.
The Ravens have three offensive tackles playing in the final year of their respective contracts this season, including standout left tackle Ronnie Stanley. A phenomenal athlete at 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds, Ersery possesses the size and agility to warrant first round consideration, and he might love being reunited with his former Minnesota teammate Daniel Faalele, now the Ravens’ starting right guard.

18. Baltimore Ravens – Emery Jones Jr., OT, LSU
USA Today has the Ravens landing a stud offensive tackle.
Unstable line play has been the biggest hindrance to Baltimore’s early offensive output, with the attack coming on strong the last two weeks after an 0-2 start. While his addition likely would necessitate some reshuffling along a front that could be parting ways with longtime left tackle Ronnie Stanley, who is on the final year of his deal, Jones could be an overpowering force capable of opening up even more promising opportunities for Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry in the run game.

Texas Longhorns wide receiver Isaiah Bond (7) dives to catch the ball but misses in the first quarter during the Red River Rivalry Football Game between the University of Oklahoma Sooners and the University of Texas Longhorns at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas, TX on Saturday Oct. 12, 2024.
12. Baltimore Ravens: WR Isaiah Bond, Texas
Sports Illustrated has the Ravens somehow missing the playoffs but still landing an impact wide receiver.

18. BALTIMORE RAVENS: T AIREONTAE ERSERY, MINNESOTA
PFF also has Baltimore drafting Ersery.
With Ronnie Stanley in the last year of his contract, the Ravens could be looking to make a major splash at offensive tackle. Ersery, the massive 6-foot-6, 330-pound left tackle, could be a nice one-in-one-out for Baltimore.

27. Baltimore Ravens Selection: Tre Harris, WR, MISSISSIPPI
The 33rd Team has Baltimore drafting a wide receiver.
Another wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens in the first round? Why not?
Tre Harris plays in a wide-open offense at Ole Miss, and the Ravens’ group figures to offer him plenty of 1-on-1 and opportunities to win vertically downfield. Lamar Jackson should ensure you catch a lot of zones, and his escapability can let Harris, who has size, speed, and tracking ability, push targets down the field to help punish teams on the boundary.

31. LT Overton DL Alabama • Jr • 6’5″ / 283 lbs
CBS Sports has the Ravens adding a defensive tackle.
The Texas A&M transfer is exactly what everyone in the NFL is looking for nowadays: A defensive lineman who can seamlessly move between the inside and outside without looking out of place. That fits in particularly well with how the Ravens set up their fronts. His 25 pressures this season are already more than he had in two years with the Aggies.
