Biggest Needs
Cornerback – Marcus Peters is still a free agent, meaning there's an open starting job opposite Marlon Humphrey.
Wide receiver – The Ravens signed Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor, but they were both one-year deals. The Ravens have committed to dramatically upgrading their receiver room this offseason.
Defensive line – Calais Campbell was released and signed in Atlanta, leaving an open spot in the trenches.
EDGE – Justin Houston, who led the Ravens with 9.5 sacks last season, is a free agent.
Guard – Starting left guard Ben Powers left for Denver in free agency. The Ravens always like to have young linemen in the pipeline.
Key Storylines
- The Ravenshave just five picks, their fewest since 1999, raising the possibility of a trade back to acquire more selections.
- If they stay at No. 22, will the Ravens take one of the cornerbacks or wide receivers they have been linked to for weeks? If so, which one do they prefer? Or do they go in a different direction?
- Will there be a major surprise like last year, when Marquise Brown was traded to Arizona? Could the Ravens trade for, or trade away, a player? There have been a lot of reports linking wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to Baltimore.
With the 2023 NFL draft set to begin Thursday night, here's a look at players who have been linked to Baltimore with pick No. 22 in mock drafts over the past two months.

WR Jordan Addison, USC
Addison grew up in Maryland and may be the best route runner in the draft. At the Combine, Addison told reporters he'd love to return home and play for the Ravens.

CB Deonte Banks, Maryland
Banks grew up in Baltimore and got his start in football at the Parkside Youth Program. Staying home to join the Ravens' secondary would make for a great story.

DT Bryan Bresee, Clemson
ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper thinks Bresee could be an outside-the-box pick for Baltimore. He grew up in Central Maryland and was the top recruit in the county (at any position) coming out of Damascus High School.

S Brian Branch, Alabama
It would be surprising to see the Ravens draft another first-round safety. However, Banks is a versatile defender in the secondary who would join a long list of Crimson Tide players drafted by Baltimore.

WR Zay Flowers, Boston College
Flowers is a homerun hitter with superb run-after-catch moves. The Ravens have already added Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor, but Flowers remains a popular mock choice for them.

CB Emmanuel Forbes, Mississippi State
A superb playmaker with six career pick-sixes, Forbes has gained momentum as a player Baltimore might select. He could compete for a starting role immediately opposite Marlon Humphrey.

CB Christian Gonzalez, Oregon
Many pundits rate Gonzalez as the top cornerback in the draft, a potential top-10 pick. The Ravens might love him, but don't seem likely to get him.

QB Hendon Hooker, Tennessee
A pocket passer who will be 25 years old by Week 1, Hooker may not be ready to start right away, but he will intrigue teams that are looking to groom a future starting quarterback.

WR Jalin Hyatt, Tennessee
Averaging 18.9 yards per catch with 16 touchdowns, Hyatt had a monster year as a deep threat. He could land on the Ravens' radar at No. 22, or a little later if they trade down.

OT Paris Johnson Jr., Ohio State
Johnson is a talented player expected to be off the board before No. 22. He would also be a surprising pick for the Ravens, who have quality starting tackles in Ronnie Stanley and Morgan Moses.

WR Quentin Johnston, TCU
Johnston has been linked to the Ravens for weeks due to his impressive size (6-foot-4) and speed. However, concern about the reliability of his hands could make some teams reluctant to grab him.

CB Clark Phillips III, Utah
With nine interceptions during his college career, Phillips was the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2022. While most scouts don't view him as a first-round pick, his playmaking ability is intriguing.

CB Joey Porter Jr., Penn State
Porter gets his NFL bloodlines from his father, Joey Porter Sr., a longtime physical linebacker with the Steelers. Heavily mocked to Baltimore, the Porter family could soon be joining the Ravens' Flock.

QB Anthony Richardson, Florida
A superb athlete with a high ceiling, Richardson is largely expected to be a top five pick. However, his college career completion percentage below 55% could scare off teams and lead to a later first-round selection.

CB Kelee Ringo, Georgia
Ringo isn't the favorite to be the first cornerback taken by Baltimore, but a trade down would increase those chances. New Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken knows Ringo, who has an ideal build, well from their time at Georgia.

RB Bijan Robinson, Texas
Robinson is the top running back prospect in the draft, with shifty moves and great acceleration. The Ravens have a deep backfield, but if Robinson slides he could become intriguing.

CB Cam Smith, South Carolina
Don't sleep on Smith coming to Baltimore, especially if there's an early run on the cornerbacks. He can defend outside or in the slot and fared well against many of the SEC's top receivers.

EDGE Nolan Smith, Georgia
Smith is seen as a prototypical 3-4 edge rusher, which makes him a potential top-10 pick. The Ravens have developing pass rushers Odafe Oweh and David Ojabo, but Smith could be intriguing if he slides.

QB C.J. Stroud, Ohio State
Stroud could be the No. 2 pick in the draft. Any team that doesn't have a top-five pick would have to pay a hefty price to move up for him.

WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ohio State
A hamstring injury limited Smith-Njigba to five catches last year, yet he could still be the first wide receiver drafted. That's how talented he is, and it seems likely he'll be gone before No. 22.

G O'Cyrus Torrence, Florida
The biggest draw with Torrence is that he has the potential to start as a rookie. The Ravens have several candidates vying to replace Ben Powers (Broncos), but the starting left guard spot is open.

CB DJ Turner, Michigan
Turner blossomed under Ravens Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald at Michigan. A reunion with Baltimore could make plenty of sense, with the Ravens looking for corners.

TE Darnell Washington, Georgia
Washington joining the Ravens seems unlikely considering their depth at tight end. However, Washington is a talented prospect who has played in Monken's system.

CB Devon Witherspoon, Illinois
Cornerbacks as talented as Witherspoon usually don't stay on the board for long. He would check plenty of boxes for Baltimore, but he's a likely top-10 pick.

OT Darnell Wright, Tennessee
Offensive tackle is hardly a top priority for the Ravens, but Wright is a good one. NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah has mocked Wright to the Bengals, so Baltimore could face him next season.
