The 2025 NFL draft is over, and the Baltimore Ravens made all 11 picks during the three-day event. With their first two picks, Eric DeCosta added two elite defenders, solid depth at the offensive line, and the team's first kicker in the Ravens franchise's 30-year history.
With the rookie minicamp fast approaching, we're looking at one stat and some facts about each of the 11 selections.
Kyle Hamilton is a Swiss army knife, and Baltimore just drafted his positional twin. Starks is the only player in the FBS to play at least 1,500 snaps at safety and 500 snaps at slot cornerback over the last three seasons, according to ESPN Research.
Green's 22 tackles for loss ranked only behind Abdul Carter, who was selected No. 3 overall by the New York Giants. His 51 quarterback pressures were tied for the sixth-most in the FBS.
The versatile offensive tackle out of LSU could switch to offensive guard. Jones had a 67.4 PFF pass-blocking grade at right tackle, but could be even more productive playing in a less confined space.
Buchanan was a first-team All-ACC performer who led Cal with 114 tackles and 12 tackles for loss. He is the third player from Cal to get drafted by the Ravens, joining quarterback Kyle Boller (first round in 2003) and cornerback Marc Anthony (seventh round in 2013).
Like Emery Jones, Vinson could see a switch to the offensive guard position. Vinson posted an 81.7 pass-blocking grade last season while allowing just 10 total pressures in his final season at Alabama A&M.
According to PFF, Kone allowed a completion on just 45.7% of throws in coverage last season. He forced eight incompletions and one interception while allowing just one touchdown. Last season, Kane led Western Michigan with nine passes broken up. He added 70 tackles and one interception.
The likely replacement for Justin Tucker, Loop has converted 6 of 9 attempts from 50-plus yards, including making a 62-yarder last season. At the NFL combine, Loop hit 13 of 14 field goal attempts (93.3%) and finished by making a 60-yarder.
Wester managed a 66.7% contested catch rate in 2024 while also earning an 81.5 receiving grade against man coverage. Wester averaged 12.2 yards on punts last season, including a 76-yard touchdown.
Peebles' 25 pressures were tied for the most among ACC defensive tackles. Peebles also recorded the FBS' fastest time to pressure among defensive tackles at 2.44 seconds.
According to PFF, Longer beam forced 11 incompletions in 2024. When targeted in coverage, opposing passers posted just a 78.0 passer rating.
During his time at LSU, Dellinger was flagged just twice for penalties in 1,937 snaps. Despite playing just 268 pass-blocking snaps due to injury, he surrendered only three total pressures and did not allow a sack.
