Who did the Ravens draft for 2025? See the full list of Baltimore's picks.
The Baltimore Ravens added 11 new players to the team during the 2025 NFL Draft.
According to Ravens' General Manager Eric DeCosta, the staff identified more than 210 players on their board.
"Durability is a big deal, especially for guys that play," DeCosta said. "You want to talk about rookies that have a hard time playing; it's usually in some way tied to injuries during that rookie season, so I think durability is a really big deal, too, in that regard, and then just the ability to learn the game."
Who did the Ravens draft?
The Baltimore Ravens drafted safety Malaki Starks from the University of Georgia with the 27th overall pick in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday.

First-round success
More often than not, the Baltimore Ravens have been successful with their first-round draft picks.
It's still too early to tell on 2024 first-round draft pick Nate Wiggins, who showed glimpses of being a stronghold on Baltimore's defense. He had 33 tackles and a pick-6, but he missed two games because of injury.
Before that, former first round draft picks Zay Flowers (2023), Kyle Hamilton (2022), Tyler Linderbaum (2022), Rashod Bateman (2021), Odafe Oweh (2021), two-time MVP Lamar Jackson (2018), Marlon Humphrey (2017) and Ronnie Stanley (2016) remain key contributors for the Ravens.
Former first-round picks Patrick Queen (2020) and Marquise Brown (2019) had strong moments in the purple and black.
In the past, the Ravens selected Joe Flacco (2008), Haloti Ngata (2006), Terrell Suggs (2003), Ed Reed (2002), Jonathan Ogden (1996) and Ray Lewis (1996) in the first round.
Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta says they stick by their plan each year and select the best player available.
"We've been a best-available-player team, and we spent eight months really building the board based on the rankings of the players and how they stack against each other," DeCosta said. "I think we definitely look at the different needs of our team. We spent a lot of time talking about the roster and the players that we have and things like contract status and all those other things that go into it."
