Welcome to Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft! The first three rounds are fun, but the last four bring a different flavor. Sometimes, an exciting prospect falls to your team; others, they draft someone you’ve never heard of! Eric DeCosta tends to do a bit of both.
Baltimore Beatdown will be tracking all of the Ravens’ picks on Day 3 with this page serving as a hub for all of your draft content and discussions. Also included is our Top 197 Big Board, which will have a ‘Tracker’ tab highlighting the best remaining players. You can also access it here.
DeCosta will have a busy afternoon with eight(!) selections.
Round 5 – Picks 14, 22, 33, and 34 (Nos. 154, 173 and 174 overall)
Round 7 – Picks 34 and 37 (Nos. 250 and 253 overall)
Four of those picks (Nos. 173, 174, 250, and 253) are compensatory picks resulting from the 2025 offseason’s free agency departures. They could use their extra capital to jump up for coveted players on Day 3, but they also need to fill out the league’s thinnest roster.
Here are the top 10 available players, per Baltimore Beatdown’s rankings.
Technically, Jermod McCoy (CB, Tennessee, No. 21 overall) should be on this list, but his degenerative knee issue may have him off the Ravens board entirely. In terms of pure talent, though, he may be the best cover corner in the entire draft. At some point, that is worth taking a risk on.
With their first three picks, the Ravens landed Penn State guard Olaivavega Ioane; Missouri edge rusher Zion Young; and USC wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane. They earned extremely high marks for the first two, but less praise for the third.
Entering the fourth round, Baltimore’s top priority should be finding a center. The team currently lacks a clear starter after Tyler Linderbaum’s departure, so expect them to target the position at some point, potentially with their first pick. The roster also needs to add depth at tight end and cornerback, and today’s crop of prospects offers plenty of ways to bolster the interior pass rush on defense.
