The Ravens selected 11 players in the 2026 NFL draft, with Eric DeCosta getting tremendous value with his first four picks. Value is an integral part of the draft process, and understanding the board is vital to judging how teams maximized value during the draft. Establishing actual "value" on NFL draft prospects is incredibly difficult, with all 32 NFL teams having different schemes, cultures, and ideas of what elite talent looks like.

Arif Hasan of Wide Left Football creates the go-to consensus board, ranking the top 300 players in the draft class based on 101 big boards from draft analysts. As Hasan noted, “the consensus of these experts does a better predictive job than individual experts.”

With the draft now final, here are Baltimore's picks, consensus rank, pick number, and the difference between the two.

One of the top offensive linemen on the board, Vega was the 13th-ranked player, and Baltimore landed him without having to trade up.

A fierce pass rusher who plays with an edge, the Ravens landed Young six spots lower than his consensus rank.

The talented pass catcher who excels at making the tough grabs, Lane, went drastically higher than expected.

A projected second-round pick, Sarratt went 46 lower than expected, falling into the Ravens' lap, thus justifying DeCosta's double-dipping at the position.

Looking to get a tight end who can do multiple things at the position, Baltimore reached for Hibner.

A talented cornerback who could be a Day 1 starter in the slot, Rivers went some 76 picks after he was expected to be selected.

A talented tight end who can block, catch, and play the H-Back position, Baltimore reached to land Cuevas.

A dual threat who could one day log 700 yards rushing and 700 yards receiving in the same season, Randall went to Baltimore 30 picks before expected.

Baltimore wanted a player to replace Jordan Stout's production and didn't want to risk missing out on Eckley, landing the punter 149 picks before his expected selection rank.

A potential third- or fourth-round pick, the former Michigan defensive tackle was selected 100 spots below his value and ranking.

The 25 year old is versatile, and Baltimore saw enough potential to him far above where he was ranked.
