Ravens fans are still buzzing after last weekend’s 2025 NFL Draft, and rightfully so. Baltimore entered the event without any clear major needs, and exiting with a number of players that look primed to contribute. While all 11 are unlikely to make the 53-man roster, here’s a look at the expected depth chart at its current state:

As Shaffer calls out, UDFAs will have a hard time cracking the Ravens’ roster given the amount of depth already there. Never say never, though. Undersized LB Chandler Martin, out of Memphis, may be an early favorite:

He’s an off-ball guy, so he would be competing with the EDGE names more, but he’ll be a fun one to watch this offseason.

Sticking with defense, it’s hard not to salivate at the additions of Malaki Starks and Mike Green. On the back end, Starks brings versatility, ball skills, and football IQ – something it seems was missing last year.

Even in terms of yards allowed there are positives. As PFF’s Gordon McGuinness calls out, 25% of the yards Starks gave up were on two plays.

Think about that and then think about the amount of chunk plays the likes of Marcus Williams, Eddie Jackson, and Brandon Stephens were giving up last year.

Rumors swirled that Starks was Baltimore’s “dream scenario” going into the NFL Draft, and while it could’ve been smoke, I think it might have been true. Starks can do it all, and you can see how excited DC Zach Orr was when he arrived at 1 Winning Drive:

One night later, the Ravens took a calculated risk in drafting Green. Personally, I was shocked to hear his name called by Baltimore, just because of the PR situation that surrounds the selection. That said, if Green moves forward as a stand-up citizen and the Ravens truly did their research, this is a tremendous pick.

Before I knew of the allegations against him last fall, Green was my top target for Baltimore. He’s explosive, sets the edge well, and had production in college. Interestingly, he measures up with #3 Pick Abdul Carter quite well:

The Ravens had a statistically strong pass rush last season, but it did feel like sacks came at inconsequential times and it was rare that the unit seemed to take over a game. As Sarah Ellison says, “football-wise,” this was a great pick.

Let’s hope the rest shakes out. If it does, the Ravens got a special duo and will have a special defense:

Wrapping up NFL Draft talk, I did see an interesting conversation unfolding on X:

I would have to say Justice Hill is more underrated from the perspective of all NFL fans, but if Rashod Bateman continues working out in grocery stores, he may not be underrated at all after next season:

What other names would you throw into this debate?
