Ravens land Derrick Henry's replacement in 2027 NFL mock draft

Fox Sports: Princewill Umanmielen, Edge, LSU

The NFL is willing to pay a premium for pass rushers, and Umanmielen has the initial burst and ankle flexion to slip past heavy-footed blockers. He began his college career at Nebraska but exploded onto the NFL radar a year ago at Ole Miss, recording nine sacks. He’s undersized and is currently too reliant on his agility to elude would-be blockers rather than forcibly shedding blocks, but his one-trick is valuable.

PFF: DI A'Mauri Washington, Oregon

The fourth Duck selected in the first round is the player who will face Laloulu in practice all season. Washington can play either 1-technique or 3-technique, and if he improves his finishing ability — a 22% career missed-tackle rate — he could be considered an early first-round pick. He also logged snaps at fullback last season.

Sports Illustrated: Chris Peal, CB, Syracuse

Marlon Humphrey and Chidobe Awuzie are both set to be free agents in 2027, and the Ravens’ lone cornerback draftee—fifth-round pick Chandler Rivers—projects best as a nickel corner at the next level. Peal, meanwhile, should be a starting-caliber outside cornerback. The 6' 1", 200-pounder spent the first two years of his career at Georgia before delivering a standout 2025 campaign at Syracuse, where he started all 12 games and showed the fluidity, athleticism and route anticipation of a potential first-round pick.

Alexander has the tools to get drafted early.
