The\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0had one of the best safety tandems in the league down the second-half stretch last season after transitioning two-time Pro Bowler\u00a0Kyle Hamilton\u00a0into a more traditional role and inserting former undrafted gem,\u00a0Ar’Darius Washington, into the starting lineup.<\/p>\n

Adding another versatile playmaker at the position is one of the Ravens’ top priorities this offseason because doing so would provide them with greater schematic flexibility. Since they have yet to address it in free agency due to a lack of cap space, their best bet is targeting one early in the 2025\u00a0NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

While they’ve been linked to some top safety prospects in first-round mock draft projections, there is a chance they could still land a prospect who fits their needs after the first night of the draft. According to\u00a0NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, they are slated to host former Penn State standout safety and expected Day 2 pick, Jaylen Reed, for a pre-draft visit.<\/p>\n
