The Baltimore Ravens are a little less than six weeks away from the 2025 NFL Draft, and they are hoping to make the most of their 11 selections over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The first of those picks comes at No. 27 overall in the first round, and the Ravens usually opt for the best player available. That\u2019s who they went for in FOX Sports writer David Helman\u2019s recent mock draft, where the\u00a0Ravens selected East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ravens are famous for simply letting good football players fall to their draft slot. This would certainly qualify. Revel has first-round talent, but an ACL injury in September has dropped him off the radar a bit. Even if he\u2019s not a Day 1 starter, the Ravens will find a role for him. And he\u2019d be a great piece for the future,\u201d Helman writes.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Ravens\u00a0had been linked to offensive linemen in the first round, but after signing Ronnie Stanley to a new deal, the need for someone in the trenches is no longer immediate.<\/p>\n

The need for a cornerback also isn\u2019t a pressing one, but Revel is a player that could be a steal for whoever takes him late on Day 1 or early on Day 2.<\/p>\n

If Revel was healthy during his senior season at ECU, he may have been considered a top-15 pick if he continued along the trajectory he was on. However, the injury is going to cost him a spot among the top picks in the draft.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why a team like the\u00a0Ravens, who just selected Nate Wiggins at No. 30 overall last year, could make perfect sense for Revel. Baltimore would allow him to fully recover and finish his rehab before getting on the field, giving him an ideal chance to get on the right foot in the NFL.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
