Ravens, Jaguars, Colts Address Roster Needs Ahead of 2025 NFL Draft

The Baltimore Ravens are entering the 2025 NFL Draft with 11 picks, focusing primarily on defensive needs, particularly at safety and outside linebacker, due to contract uncertainties and lack of depth at those positions. General Manager Eric DeCosta has highlighted the depth of this year's draft, indicating the team may not trade up early and instead target value in the middle rounds. Safety remains a position of intrigue, with both immediate and long-term considerations, as the team seeks a third option alongside Kyle Hamilton and Ar’Darius Washington, and several prospects are under consideration across the draft. Outside linebacker is also a top priority given the expiring contracts of Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh, and the current lack of proven replacements on the roster. The Ravens are also considering additions at guard, offensive tackle, and possibly drafting a kicker for the first time, particularly as kicker Justin Tucker is under NFL investigation. Overall, the team aims to capitalize on the draft's depth to address both immediate and future needs, with a defense-heavy approach expected.
