The Ravens are on the clock at No. 14 in the 2026 NFL Draft, but their board could look very different by the time they pick. Baltimore’s options will depend on a chain of moves ahead of them, and the biggest question is which premium players are still there when the ravens finally make their choice.
Offensive tackle is one place the Ravens do not need to force the issue. Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten are already in place as the bookends, which makes a first-round tackle more of a luxury than a necessity. Even so, there is no consensus on the top group, with Miami’s Francis Mauigoa, Utah’s Spencer Fano, Alabama’s Kadyn Proctor and Georgia’s Monroe Freeling all worth watching. ’s Peter Schrager has three of those four going before No. 14 in his final mock draft. Baltimore could still get creative with a tackle, though, if it wanted to move one inside to guard or even convert Fano to center.
Wide receiver may be the spot most affected by how the board falls. The expectation for months has been that Ohio State’s Carnell Tate will be the first receiver taken, but Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson has surged late and teams are increasingly willing to bet on his talent despite his injury history. Many around the league now think Tyson will not make it past the New York Giants at No. 10, and if Tate and Tyson both go early, the Dolphins at No. 11 and the Rams at No. 13 could also consider USC’s Makai Lemon before Baltimore is up.
That makes the middle rounds important too. Drafting a developmental quarterback is low on the Ravens’ priority list, but there are still other ways to add depth and speed. Green, who spent three years at Boise State before playing for the Razorbacks the last two seasons, posted nearly 10,000 passing yards and over 2,400 rushing yards over his five-year career, though he also threw 20 interceptions over the last two seasons. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.36 seconds. At running back, Baltimore has no immediate need for a starter, but Derrick Henry is entering his age-32 season, Justice Hill is in the final year of his deal and Keaton Mitchell was lost in free agency. Claiborne, who ran 4.37 seconds at 5-foot-9 and 188 pounds, would give offensive coordinator Declan Doyle a change-of-pace option in the backfield.
At tight end, Bell is still viewed as a first-round talent, but a late-season ACL tear in 2025 is likely to push him into Day 2. He had 72 receptions for 917 yards and six touchdowns in 11 games last season. Joly, meanwhile, brings 166 career receptions and nearly 2,000 career receiving yards at NC State, and could become a middle-round target if the Ravens do not take Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq in the first round. Baltimore’s draft is starting from a stronger position than usual, but the real work begins with the picks in front of it.
