The 2025 Baltimore Ravens thread

[mr heyzel]

They really are.

They've got the best and highest graded center EVER since pff started.

Hamilton is the best safety.

Ojabo has more pass rush moves than Hutchinson, Thibodeaux and just about every other DE/OLB taken before him. Will he put up better numbers throughout his career? That remains to be seen and he'll face better OTs in the AFC than Thibodeaux will face in the NFC, but we'll see what happens throughout their hopefully 10+ year careers.

Jones is a Top 5 DT that should give the Ravens the best of both worlds as a run stopper and pass rusher. Interior pass rush is needed just as badly, maybe even more than outside pass rush. Madabuike and Jones are going to be so scary for guards and centers to block

You’re my draft guy so I’m trusting your word bro

Ravens are such a straightforward, no BS organization. They never really do mind games or psych outs when it comes to drafting/personnel. If they like a guy, they get the guy and don't mess around.

Before he got injured Ojabo was mocked a lot to us at 14. Then afterwards it was Linderbaum. You just knew they'd wind up with at least one of them even if not at 14. But both?

EDC's doing work so far. Today's where he's really gonna earn his pay, though.

Well said.

This is potentially a championship draft. I'm thinking they are one, maybe two years away from having a complete team. I don't see this year being the year because of all the uncertainty with the OTs, RBs, CBs and now WRs. If these guys come back 100% from injury, playing at pro bowl caliber levels and the WRs are balling, shyt, they'll be formidable this year and might make a deep playoff run.

I have never heard of Charlie Kolar...he's nothing special. Thats a wasted pick sorry.

I would've preferred the guy who went with the next pick Jake Ferguson

Charlie Kolar was a 3-star recruit out of Norman High School. His brother, John, was a QB at Oklahoma State for four years and was a member of the Cyclone football team in 2019 as a graduate transfer. Kolar’s mother, Maria, played volleyball at Notre Dame. According to 247 Sports, Kolar ranked as the No. 57 tight end in the nation and No. 20 player in Oklahoma. He is a long-legged and spindling mover. He does not possess dynamism or explosiveness. As a receiver, his best work comes from working the seams, crossers, and quicker routes. He can be impactful in-line as a traditional TE and detached in the slot. He’s a solid blocker that needs to improve his leveraging and weight distribution. Kolar has a pair of the best and most reliable hands in college football. His innate ball skills make him a productive red-zone threat.

Ideal Role: Y tight end, TE2 in 12-personnel

Scheme Fit: Spread-heavy play-action, tight ends flex options

Not mad with the Isaiah Likely pick. He should be better than Kolar.

Why the fukk are they drafting Stout when they've had soooo much success with FA Kickers and Punters!?!? Another wasted pick!!

They should've drafted Hassan Haskins or Allgeier!!

Like the Faalele and JAD picks, the rest is a mixture of meh and wtf

 

[Son Goku]

I can't remember ever being more about a team I follow's draft.

I like the Isiaiah Likely pick too

Question for anyone that truly knows the Ravens organization? Is there like an unsung hero or scout that doesn't get enough credit. I know that EDC and Ozzie are the main guys on the front line. But who's the behind the scenes scout or personnel guy that's really putting in work.

 

[STAN JONES]

Not mad with the Isaiah Likely pick. He should be better than Kolar.

whenever we double dip on TEs the 2nd one is usually better so this is on brand for the organization

its not really one guy

the Ravens have a shytload of scouts

if you wanna give one guy the credit it would be Ozzie

I had Faalele as a 3rd or late 2nd rounder. Good the Ravens got him.

He's got all the intangibles you look for in an OT except experience. He's not going to be Zeus or Zeus Jr., but he should develop into a viable RT. He's a project because of his lack of experience. Hopefully he'll be nasty and physical until his experience catches up.

Damarion Williams will be the starting slot corner at some point. Zyon McCullom was available though. Don't forget his name

Ravens could've moved Marlon to slot and had McCullom outside. Oh well


After a standout run at Highland Community College where he collected 10 interceptions, Damarion Williams took his game to Houston where he immediately became a starter in 2019 and his role expanded every year. The Cougars played Williams as a wide corner, inside corner, and safety with regularity but his best role at the next love comes at the slot. Williams has the foot quickness, speed, fluidity, and pattern-matching skills to play man coverage in the slot and his route anticipation and ability to space the field shines in zone coverage. He is enthusiastic about triggering downhill and defending the run. He is an aggressive tackler that hunts the football in pursuit. Despite being undersized, his competitive toughness shines when watching him play. While not to the same degree as in the JUCO ranks, Williams has showcased the ability to make dynamic plays on the football and be disruptive at the catch point. The concern with Williams at the next level is his lack of height, mass, and length and the natural limitations that presents in terms of matchups and alignments. He has the makeup of a quality nickel defender but how he holds up given his lean frame is a major question mark.
Ideal Role: Slot corner, safety
Scheme Fit: Any

It’s looking like Ravens might go the route of signing a Vet WR or trade for one

Maybe a Julio Jones or Jarvis Landry which @STAN JONES wouldn’t like but this is a Ravens move

I prefer to trade for one. We will have to see this summer.
