We're days away from the start of the NFL draft, and the only sure thing is that former Miami All-American and top quarterback prospect Cam Ward is going to the Tennessee Titans as the No. 1 overall pick.

Baltimore has 11 picks in Thursday night's NFL draft and will look to retool the roster with a pool of young players rather than hand out one-year prove-it deals to select veterans.

The Ravens weren't overly active during the first few days of NFL free agency. Still, the team added a future Hall of Fame wide receiver to the passing game and a versatile linebacker to the special teams. The Ravens retained Ronnie Stanley, Patrick Ricard, and Tylan Wallace, while the restructuring of Marlon Humphrey created $13 million in salary cap space.

With the draft quickly approaching, we're looking at the positions that will likely be the 27th overall pick.

Edge Rusher​


Kyle Van Noy is a stud, but 33 years old, while Odafe Oweh is looking to take the next steps as a premier pass rusher. David Ojabo has been a bust, while Tavius Robinson is still developing. Adisa Isaac is an unknown after dealing with injuries as a rookie.

Safety​


Baltimore released Marcus Williams and is negotiating with Ar'Darius Washington. If the season started today, the Ravens would have Sanoussi Kane and Beau Brade as options to pair with Kyle Hamilton.

Cornerback​


Baltimore lost Brandon Stephens to the Jets in free agency while veteran cornerback Tre'Davious White remains unsigned. The Ravens have 2024 fourth-round pick T.J. Tampa ready to be incorporated into a more significant role, but the Ravens could still look to add an elite cornerback to pair with Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey.

Offensive guard​


The Ravens re-signed Ben Cleveland, but Patrick Mekari joined the Jaguars on a lucrative deal, with Josh Jones signed with Seattle. Andrew Vorhees is an option at left guard, and Daniel Faalele is ever-improving.

Defensive Tackle/End​


Michael Pierce retired, while Brent Urban is still unsigned. Baltimore has Nnamdi Madubuike and Travis Jones at defensive tackle but could look to upgrade the defensive end spot with Broderick Washington having a down year.
