As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the Baltimore Ravens are meticulously evaluating prospects to bolster their roster for another championship run. According to the Ravens’ official website, several analysts have identified Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins as a potential first-round pick for Baltimore. NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah emphasizes Wiggins’ exceptional coverage skills, noting, “The Ravens always value players who can rush the quarterback and guys who can cover pass catchers. Wiggins has outstanding cover ability, but Baltimore will need to help him be a little more of an urgent defender against the run.” citeturn0search0
In the same roundup, Penn State edge rusher Chop Robinson is another name linked to the Ravens. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler highlights Robinson’s explosive first step and potential for double-digit sacks, stating, “The Ravens drafting another Penn State edge rusher in the first round? Robinson has the best first step in this class and the upside of a pass rusher who can produce double-digit sacks.” citeturn0search0
Missouri’s Darius Robinson also garners attention as a possible addition to Baltimore’s defensive front. FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt remarks, “The Ravens get some continued help on the outside. This is a team that always drafts the best possible player and the best available player.” citeturn0search0
Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry is another prospect under consideration. NFL Network’s Peter Schrager notes, “Kool-Aid could go much higher on Thursday. I know teams that absolutely love him. Nick Saban has been singing his praises to those who’ll listen. The Baltimore-Alabama pipeline is real.” citeturn0search0
In a previous mock draft roundup, Ohio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons was projected as a potential first-round pick for the Ravens. CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson commented on Simmons’ versatility and potential impact, stating, “A San Diego State transfer where he played right tackle, Josh Simmons was a pleasant surprise in Columbus, where he was not only installed at left tackle, but was playing at a high level before an October knee injury vs. Oregon ended his season. I thought he might come back to school — he could probably use the experience — but instead he declared for the 2025 draft. And in a draft light along the offensive line, fully expect Simmons to draw serious first-round consideration, even as he recovers from injury.” citeturn0search1
As the draft nears, the Ravens’ front office continues to weigh these options carefully, aiming to select a player who can contribute immediately and help the team maintain its competitive edge in the AFC.
