The Baltimore Ravens are officially in Phase Three of their offseason workout program, and with 11 NFL Draft picks and 19 undrafted free agents now in the fold, the roster is brimming with fresh talent. As OTAs loom just eight days away—starting May 18-19, followed by sessions on May 21, May 26-28, June 1-2, and June 4—the team is gearing up for nine critical practices. The mandatory minicamp is set for June 9-11, after which the squad will break until mid-July. With training camp fast approaching, it's time to take an early look at the Ravens' projected depth chart.
At quarterback, Lamar Jackson is looking sharp after an injury-plagued 2025 season. The Ravens have solidified the backup role by re-signing Tyler Huntley and releasing Cooper Rush, so there's no need to search for a No. 2. Keep an eye on undrafted rookies Diego Pavia and Joe Fagnano, who are battling for the third QB spot and a potential 53-man roster berth.
The running back room is generating buzz, with Adam Randall drawing comparisons to a blend of Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Expect a surprising shakeup at the No. 2 spot behind Henry as the competition heats up.
Wide receiver has undergone a major transformation after the Ravens drafted two talented, accomplished pass-catchers. Zay Flowers has earned his $27.3 million fifth-year option following back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons. Rashod Bateman is under contract through 2029 but has been the subject of trade talks after an injury-filled 2025. Devontez Walker remains a touchdown machine but is still unproven entering Year 3, and elite competition has arrived. LaJohntay Wester is set to handle punt return duties, while Cornelius Johnson and Dayton Wade are likely ticketed for practice squad roles.
Tight end remains a strength, with Mark Andrews commanding a $13.1 million average annual salary, making him the sixth-highest-paid player at his position. The Ravens added veteran Durham Smythe in free agency and double-dipped at the position in the draft, ensuring depth and versatility.
On the offensive line, first-round pick Vega Ioane is projected as a Day 1 starter, bringing immediate stability to a unit that's crucial for both the run game and pass protection. With OTAs on the horizon, the Ravens are shaping up to be a team to watch as they build toward the 2026 season.
