2026 NFL Draft: Best remaining EDGE prospects for Ravens on Day 2

Talk about getting off to a good start. The Baltimore Ravens did what many hoped they would: address their needs in the trenches early. They selected Olaivavega Ioane 14th overall during Round 1, but other priorities still loom.

One of the most obvious holes that needs filling is at edge rusher. Even after adding Trey Hendrickson in free agency and drafting Mike Green last year, the room for one reason or another still feels unsettled. There are bodies (Tavius Robinson, Adisa Isaac, and Kaimon Rucker), but there are just as many questions. That makes Day 2 a critical opportunity to add another piece to the rotation.

A good pass rush can often cover other issues. At some point, it would be nice to see the Ravens' unit and their secondary work hand in hand. The following are the top remaining options after five prospects at the position were taken in Round 1.

1. Cashius Howell, Texas A&M Aggies

Cashius Howell's explosiveness off the edge would add a different dimension to Baltimore's pass rush. He wins with speed and bend, traits that could complement Hendrickson's more refined approach. In a rotational role, Howell could provide immediate juice on passing downs.

2. T.J. Parker, Clemson Tigers

T.J. Parker fits the Ravens' mold as a disciplined, physical defender. He sets the edge well and plays with strong fundamentals, making him a potential early contributor against the run. His well-rounded skill set would provide stability to a group still finding its identity.
