The 2024 NFL Draft is less than a week away, so we have time for just one more Baltimore Ravens mock draft. After narrowly missing a trip to the Super Bowl, the Ravens lost several key starters in free agency and need to make the most out of every single draft pick if they want to remain an elite team. While Lamar Jackson can singlehandedly carry this team to the playoffs, it takes all 53 men to win a championship.
Note that this exercise was performed using the Pro Football Focus Mock Draft Simulator. If the player was on the board when Baltimore was on the clock, they were fair game. Also note that this Ravens mock draft does not include trades.
Final Baltimore Ravens Seven-Round Mock Draft
First Round (30th Overall) – Adonai Mitchell, WR
Adonai Mitchell is one of the biggest love/hate prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft. Based purely on physical traits, Adonai Mitchell has the potential to be the best wide receiver in this class, and he flashed that ability throughout his time at Texas. While his production profile leaves something to be desired, Baltimore shoots for the moon and lands a player with the potential to completely reshape an offense.

Second Round (62nd Overall) – Chris Braswell, EDGE
The Ravens lost Jadeveon Clowney in free agency and now replace him with Chris Braswell. The Alabama product broke out during his final collegiate season and has the size, strength, and athleticism to become an above-average starter at the next level. While his technique could use some work, it’s nothing that proper coaching cannot fix.

Third Round (93rd Overall) – Mason McCormick, G
Talent and need perfectly align with the third pick in the Ravens mock draft. Baltimore lost both of their starting guards last year, and they can replace one of the positions with South Dakota State’s Mason McCormick. While some could worry about his relatively easy collegiate competition, his performance at the NFL Combine implies he has the athleticism required for his impressive all-around game to translate to the next level.
Fourth Round (113th Overall) – Michael Hall Jr, DI
The Ravens do not need another interior lineman, but it’s impossible to ignore the value in this mock draft. Michael Hall has no business making it out of Day 2, so Baltimore steals a potential starter at a premium value. While he is smaller than your average defensive tackle, he and Justin Madubuike could combine to form the best pass-rushing interior in football.

Fourth Round (130th Overall) – Audric Estime, RB
The Ravens signed Derrick Henry as a free agent because they wanted a more physical running game. Audric Estime is no Henry, but the Notre Dame product plays with a similar ferocity. His lack of breakaway speed causes him to fall into the fourth round in this mock draft, but the Ravens should be happy to land another bruising back who can break tackles in short-yardage situations.

Fifth Round (165th Overall) – Decamerion Richardson, CB
The Ravens once again shoot for upside in this mock draft, as Decamerion Richardson has all the physical traits required to be a starting NFL cornerback. What he lacks is the coverage instincts to make the most of his abilities. A year or two on the bench should serve him well, as Baltimore has a long history of developing Day 3 defensive backs into reliable starters.
Sixth Round (218th Overall) – Joe Milton, QB
The Ravens need a backup quarterback, and they land one of the most high-upside passers in this mock draft. Joe Milton is an incredibly raw prospect, but he has an unmatched combination of arm talent and athleticism. Hopefully, good coaching can make him a reliable backup. If not, he has the physical gifts to take the Logan Thomas route and become a starting-caliber tight end.
Seventh Round (228th Overall) – Jalen Coker, WR
Jalen Coker spent his collegiate career jumping over smaller receivers and using his massive frame to win at the catch point. The question now becomes whether he can do that at the NFL level. Holy Cross doesn’t face the toughest competition, but he’s well worth a dart throw in the seventh round.
Seventh Round (250th Overall) – Solomon Byrd, EDGE
The Ravens wrap up this mock draft with yet another addition on the defensive line. Solomon Byrd is not the most physically gifted player in the draft class, but his ability to remain productive at two separate programs earns him a spot on the 90-man roster. If he can maintain that success, then he could be a nice situational player for the Ravens.
