2026 Baltimore Ravens Mock Draft: Shoring Up The Team For Another Potential Playoff Run

The 2025 NFL season has come to a close, leaving us ready to start the NFL draft process.

This team needs Lamar Jackson to stay healthy. That's step one. And by healthy, I mean healthy, not playing through injury. Adding to the offensive line could help with that.

On the other side of the ball, there are definitely holes to fill, mainly on the defensive line, but they could also use some help on the outside at corner.

Fortunately for the Ravens, they have 11 draft picks to help strengthen the roster.

In this mock draft, we take a look at a full seven round Baltimore Ravens mock draft based on their current pick selections, with no trades and no information on how free agency shakes out.

Let's get to it!

Draft Analysis

Defensive help is on the way with one of the top CBs in the class and a solid edge rusher in the first three rounds, but it's the second round pick that is the most surprising. Despite not being an immediate need - Rashod Bateman just signed an extension through 2030 and Zay Flowers is signed through 2028 - the Ravens' new brass wants to ensure Lamar has enough playmaking depth on the outside to keep defenses honest against the pass, so they take Chris Bell to accomplish just that.

Notably, the Ravens wait here until the fifth round to address the offensive line, ultimately adding two depth pieces that could turn into starters if they develop quickly.

Fantasy Impacts

Despite being a second round pick, Chris Bell ends up sitting as the WR3 in an offense that ultimately doesn't use that player that much; he's off the fantasy radar for redraft and is only a very late flier in best ball, requiring an injury to Bateman or Flowers before he becomes relevant. His dynasty impact is muted, too, given the long-term signings of the two receivers in front of him. It's possible they move on from Zay Flowers before the 2028 season, but the odds of that happening if they're still competing are pretty slim.

The more interesting player for dynasty here is actually Demond Claiborne. Keaton Mitchell has shown great flashes at times when he's played, but he's also proven to be unreliable in the health department, opening up a window of opportunity for another back to step in. He'd be a late-round flier backing up an aging Derrick Henry.
