A Baltimore Ravens Community
In last week’s Ravens Reacts survey, we asked Baltimore Beatdown readers if they wanted to trade for Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. 88% of respondents answered yes, though a vast majority of those fans insisted upon keeping Baltimore’s first-round pick in next week’s draft (No. 14 overall). Reports have placed Lawrence’s trade value at a […]
Over the weekend, Baltimore Beatdown’s Nikhil Mehta and Zach Canter faced off in a mock draft duel. Using Pro Football Network’s simulator, they looked at the same set of prospects for each of the Ravens’ first eight picks in next week’s draft, but built very different draft classes. Zach prioritized the trenches with four of […]
The Ravens are hosting LSU cornerback and projected first-round pick Mansoor Delane for a pre-draft visit, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Delane, 22, is the No. 7 player on Baltimore Beatdown’s 2026 big board and the top-ranked cornerback four spots ahead of Tennessee’s Jermod McCoy. The former Tiger just finished a masterful season in Baton […]
This year’s NFL draft, which is now less than two weeks away, will be a big one for the Baltimore Ravens. As the team looks to quickly re-establish themselves as contenders and usher in the Jesse Minter head coach era, the Ravens still have a number of roster needs to address. The Ravens are entering […]

The Ravens are hosting Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston and Georgia tight end Oscar Delp for pre-draft visits on Friday, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Sports Illustrated’s Arye Pulli. Boston, 22, is a prototypical X receiver with a big frame, reliable hands, and plenty of ball skills. He’s a good, but not great athlete […]
Typically, when a two-year starter from the Ravens’ offensive line hits free agency, they are signed immediately, often to a market-level deal. Daniel Faalele received no such treatment. Despite starting every game at right guard for the past two years, he went unsigned for almost a month into the new league year. The only team […]

In last week’s Ravens Reacts survey, 61% of Baltimore Beatdown readers predicted that outside linebacker Mike Green would break out this season. Despite a pre-draft billing as an explosive pass rusher, the second-round pick disappointed as a rookie. Injuries to Kyle Van Noy and Tavius Robinson – as well as the Odafe Oweh trade – […]
Of the Baltimore Ravens’ 10 lost free agents this offseason, one that has perhaps flown under the radar is punter Jordan Stout. After a breakout All-Pro season in 2025, the New York Giants offered Stout a contract making him the highest-paid punter in NFL history and the Ravens did not re-sign him. Now, for the […]

Their primary tool to fill out the rest of the roster now is the upcoming draft, which is less than a month away. This year’s free agency cycle for the Ravens […]
In last week’s Baltimore Ravens survey, Baltimore Beatdown’s readers overwhelming favored Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles over top prospects at other non-premium positions. Fans were asked about their favorite and least favorite players from the following list: And here’s how they voted: Styles received a whopping 51% of the vote, with Love coming in as […]
The Ravens have a strong alumni network in the football world. More than 140 former players have coaching or administrative jobs, and that list now has one more name: Marcus Peters. The former Pro Bowl cornerback has taken a head coaching job at his alma mater, McClymonds High School in Oakland, California. He succeeds his […]
The Ravens hosted defensive tackle D.J. Reader for a visit this week, per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. The 10-year veteran also underwent an all-important physical, but left Baltimore without a deal and will likely sign with a team after April’s draft. That may not necessarily be the Ravens. Reader, 31, started 32 games for the Lions […]
On Thursday, I wrote about the top defensive trends from our Top 101 Big Board, and now, I am turning to the other side of the ball. Here are the top offensive takeaways from our rankings (1-51, 52-101): The Ravens will find their next center on Day 2. The 2026 draft class features no true centers […]

Here are the top takeaways from the defenders on our big board: The EDGE class is deep but top-heavy. Of our top 5 prospects, three are edge rushers. That number grows […]
Has ESPN’s Field Yates been reading Baltimore Beatdown? In his mock draft on Tuesday, he projected two of our top 16 players to be drafted by the Ravens with their first two picks. Round 1, Pick. No 14: Spencer Fano (OL, Utah) In the first round, the Ravens snagged Utah offensive lineman Spencer Fano, the […]

With the Baltimore Ravens regaining their first round pick in the aftermath of the Maxx Crosby debacle, there have been a few players frequently linked to them for the 14th pick in April’s draft. Guard Olaivavega Ioane from Penn State has been a popular name given the Ravens’ recent issues along the offensive line. Additionally, […]

In last week’s Ravens Reacts survey, we asked Baltimore Beatdown readers about the Ravens’ biggest remaining need and most impactful departure in free agency. Your answers had a theme: offensive line, specifically the center position. 36% of respondents answered that the Ravens needed to sign a veteran center, with another 24% looking to add another […]
The Browns hired former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken as their head coach this offseason, and he in turn brought several of his staffers to Cleveland. He was not, however, as aggressive in pursuing his former players in free agency, especially compared to John Harbaugh’s Giants. They already snapped up four ex-Ravens, though that has […]

The Baltimore Ravens have not been shy about drafting prospects from Penn State in recent years. Since 2019, Baltimore has selected four players from the Nittany Lions, more than any other school during that timeframe (Trace McSorley, Odafe Oweh, Jordan Stout, Adisa Isaac). That trend could continue in 2026, as reports emerged late last season […]
