The Baltimore Ravens are wasting no time locking in their future stars. With rookie minicamp kicking off Friday, the team has inked nearly all of their 2026 draft class—signing nine of their 11 picks in a busy Thursday flurry.
Leading the latest wave is third-round wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane, who brings a tantalizing blend of size and playmaking ability to the Ravens' offense. During his final season at USC, the 6-foot-4 pass-catcher hauled in 49 receptions for 745 yards and four touchdowns, showcasing the kind of downfield threat Baltimore has been craving.
The Ravens also secured fifth-round cornerback Chandler Rivers and sixth-round punter Ryan Eckley, rounding out a strong haul of defensive and special teams talent. Rivers, known for his sticky coverage instincts, should add immediate depth to the secondary, while Eckley arrives with a booming leg ready to flip field position.
Joining them on four-year deals are first-round guard Vega Ioane, fourth-round wide receiver Elijah Sarratt, fourth-round tight end Matt Hibner, fifth-round tight end Josh Cuevas, fifth-round running back Adam Randall, and seventh-round offensive lineman Evan Beerntsen. That's a deep class featuring help on both sides of the trenches and some intriguing skill-position weapons.
Only two picks remain unsigned: second-round edge rusher Zion Young and seventh-round defensive tackle Rayshaun Benny. Expect those deals to come together quickly as the Ravens aim for a fully signed squad before the first padded practices.
