Ravens land two dynamic offensive players in Mel Kiper's final mock

As the 2026 NFL Draft draws closer, final predictions are beginning to take shape, and Mel Kiper Jr. has released his final mock draft for ESPN with a clear vision for the Baltimore Ravens. In his final outlook, Kiper has Baltimore reinforcing the offensive line in Round 1 before adding a dynamic tight end on Day 2.

Spencer Fano, OL, Utah

Taking Fano here would give Baltimore options. He could stick at his traditional position and become a swing tackle in Year 1 behind Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten before eventually taking a starter role. He could kick inside to guard and replace Andrew Vorhees. Or he could even be the team's next starting center after Tyler Linderbaum signed with the Raiders; Fano took snaps at the combine to show teams he could handle the pivot. No matter where he lines up, Fano has the size (6-foot-6, 311 pounds), agility and technique to keep quarterback Lamar Jackson's uniform clean. Fano didn't allow any sacks last season.

Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt

Isaiah Likely is now with the Giants, and though Mark Andrews is back on a new deal, he is turning 31 in early September. Stowers caught 146 passes over the past three years, including 11 touchdowns. And he piled up 769 yards last season.

At the NFL Combine, Fano showed decent athleticism in pulling drills, with explosive acceleration and fluid lateral movement. A Consensus First Team All-American and the Big 12 Offensive Linemen of the Year, Fano started at right tackle for 12 games in 2025, allowed just five pressures and five hurries, and did not allow a sack in 357 pass blocking opportunities, per PFF.

If Kenyon Sadiq isn't the answer in Round 1, Baltimore could turn towards Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers, who set the NFL scouting combine record for vertical leap at his position with a 45½-inch mark while also logging a 4.51-second 40-yard dash and an 11-3 broad jump. In 2025, Stowers had a standout season with 62 receptions for 769 yards and four touchdowns, once again receiving first-team All-SEC honors for the second consecutive year. Additionally, he was named a unanimous All-American, won the Mackey Award, and received the Campbell Trophy.

The pairing of Spencer Fano and Eli Stowers reflects a balanced approach to Baltimore's roster building, one that prioritizes protection for Lamar Jackson while also adding versatility to the offense. With both players offering unique skill sets, the projection highlights how Baltimore could continue evolving its identity heading into the 2026 season.
