In the 31-year history of the franchise, Baltimore had never parted ways with a first-round pick in order to complete a trade, but after only registering 30 sacks last season and hiring Jesse Minter, the Ravens went all out to land an absolute terror off the edge for opposing quarterbacks.
The Ravens rarely move away from their organizational philosophy, but on Friday night, Baltimore parted ways with two first-round picks to acquire All-Pro pass rusher Maxx Crosby. In a blockbuster move that'll alter the NFL landscape, the Ravens trade the No. 14 overall pick in April's NFL draft, and a first-round pick in 2027, in order to land the high-motor defensive end.
Baltimore won't have a first-round pick, but they are still stocked with assets, and we're unveiling an updated seven-round projection for Eric DeCosta ahead of NFL free agency.
The Crimson Tide receiver stands 6-foot-1, 206 pounds and logged an impressive 4.48-second 40-yard dash and a 6.71-second three-cone drill, the best among the few receivers who participated. The Washington transfer finished tied for fifth in the SEC with seven receiving touchdowns and also tied for 11th in the conference for total touchdowns, recording nine. He led the University of Arkansas (UA) in receptions with 64 and receiving yards with 862, while ranking second in touchdown catches. Additionally, he had 18 rushing attempts for a combined total of 101 yards and scored two touchdowns on the ground. He also completed two passes for a total of 15 yards. Furthermore, he was named a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, which is presented annually to the nation's top pass-catcher.
Jackson Jr. logged 45 tackles and one sack during his final season, earning All-ACC honorable mention recognition. Jackson Jr. transferred twice, earning back-to-back All-ACC honorable mentions in 2024 and 2025.
After posting double-digit sacks last season, Kamara only had one in 2025. However, he led Indiana in pressures and has improved as a run defender.
Before his one year at Texas A&M, Boerkircher played four seasons at Nebraska, appearing in 39 games and making 17 starts, registering 19 catches for 219 yards and one score. In 2024, he recorded a career-high six catches for 102 yards receiving, averaging 17.0 yards per reception. During his final season in College Station, he recorded just 19 catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns with the Aggies, and translates as a blocking tight end.
Wright started at right guard for the Tigers for the last two seasons. In 2024 and 2025, he played all 12 games each year, totaling 24 consecutive starts and 53 games overall. He received a performance grade of 68.3 from Pro Football Focus and led the team with 33 knockdown blocks.
Dixon has the potential to be a rotational player in the secondary. He started seven games for the Tar Heels in 2025 but missed five games due to injury. Throughout the season, he recorded 19 tackles, including 13 solo stops. Additionally, he made two tackles for loss and achieved six pass breakups.
Fisher appeared in a total of 50 career games, starting in 38 of them. Over two seasons at James Madison (2022-23), he played in 23 games with 11 starts. In 2024, he made history by becoming Indiana's first-ever first-team All-America linebacker, earning recognition from the FWAA and Phil Steele. He is also the first Hoosier defender to receive multiple first-team All-America honors and the first to achieve back-to-back selections since offensive lineman Dan Feeney in 2015-16. Fisher started 14 games during his time and missed one game due to injury (against Maryland).
Height: 6-foot-6 | Weight: 224 pounds
Green immediately became the Razorbacks' starter after transferring from Boise State following the 2023 season. He had 2,714 passing yards, 19 touchdown throws, and 11 interceptions this season, along with 771 rushing yards (12th most among FBS QBs) and two touchdowns on the ground. A true dual threat, Green had eight games with 50 or more rushing yards.
Braun, an Arkansas transfer, started all 12 games for Kentucky. He allowed just five sacks and incurred only five penalties over 831 snaps. He ranked second on the team with 31 knockdown blocks and achieved a grade of 82 percent. He was recognized as a Preseason Third Team All-SEC selection by the Coaches, Phil Steele, and Athlon, and he made the 2026 Senior Bowl Top 300 List.
