NFL mock draft 2026: Final look at who has been linked to the Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are entering the final hours before Thursday night's start of the 2026 NFL Draft with a clearer — yet still flexible — picture of how Round 1 could unfold. Across mock drafts and league circles, a consistent group of prospects has been tied to Baltimore at pick No. 14. Wide receiver and offensive guard remain the most commonly projected options, with explosive playmakers viewed as a natural fit for an offense looking to take another step forward. Offensive guards and centers have also been frequently mocked to the Ravens, reinforcing the franchise's long-standing commitment to building strength in the trenches.

At the same time, there's an understanding that Baltimore will target the best player available and won't force a selection based solely on need. General manager Eric DeCosta has historically leaned toward value, allowing the board to dictate the pick rather than locking into one position. That approach leaves the door open to a variety of outcomes, including selecting the best available player or even trading back if the right opportunity presents itself. As predictions continue to evolve, the one constant remains the Ravens' adaptability — a trait that has consistently positioned them to capitalize on unexpected draft-day opportunities.

As the draft approaches, analysts continue to link a range of prospects to the Ravens at pick No. 14, offering a clearer picture of Baltimore's potential Round 1 direction.
