The Baltimore Ravens will feel they are just a couple of pieces away from challenging in the 2025 NFL season, and the draft offers them an opportunity to put those final pieces together. The Ravens have a lot of capital in the 2025 NFL Draft order, so they should be able to make comprehensive updates.

What Are the Ravens’ Biggest Needs in 2025?
- G, CB, EDGE, LB, S
At one point last season, it appeared as though we would be talking all about the Baltimore Ravens’ defense needing improvement this offseason. However, they finished strongly to end the season ranked eighth defensively and second offensively. That does not mean there are no areas on defense they need to improve, but potential holes on offense now appear as concerning.
They addressed one of those needs on offense by re-signing Ronnie Stanley to a three-year deal. However, Patrick Mekari is gone, meaning there is a need to address the guard position. Even if they feel someone on the roster can step up and take Mekari’s spot as a starter, they need to add depth and a developmental project.
Defensively, the biggest need comes at cornerback, where Brandon Stephens and Tre’Davious White are gone. NFL teams need both high-quality starters and depth at their cornerback positions, so this is both a talent and volume need for the Ravens. Guard and cornerback are co-top needs for the Ravens entering the draft.
The Ravens should not overlook improving their pass rush, which needs more difference-makers. They have good players, but the best pass-rush teams have depth right across their front four, and it does not feel like the Ravens have that. Addressing that position through the draft looks most likely where they can get someone who can play a role and develop into a more complete player over time.
The final two needs listed here are linebacker and safety. Neither are major needs, and it could easily be the defensive tackle we list, especially with Michael Pierce retiring. The Ravens need depth and role players at all three positions.
