The Baltimore Ravens are wasting no time getting their rookie class locked in and ready to go. The team announced the signing of four more draft picks on Wednesday, bringing their total to six of 11 selections now under contract just ahead of the two-day rookie minicamp.
The newest Ravens to put pen to paper include fourth-round tight end Matthew Hibner, fifth-round tight end Josh Cuevas, fifth-round running back Adam Randall, and seventh-round offensive lineman Evan Beerntsen. They join previously signed rookies Vega Ioane and Elijah Surratt, giving Baltimore a solid head start on finalizing its 2026 draft class.
This flurry of signings is classic Ravens efficiency. By getting deals done early, the team ensures its young players can focus entirely on development and learning the playbook rather than getting bogged down in contract details. It's a disciplined approach that has become a hallmark of the organization's post-draft process.
The emphasis on tight end depth is particularly noteworthy. With Hibner and Cuevas both joining the fold, Baltimore is clearly looking to add competition and versatility to a position group that has been a key part of the offense. Hibner brings a reliable pass-catching presence, while Cuevas offers intriguing athleticism that could create mismatches in the passing game.
For Randall, the path to playing time runs through a backfield known for its physical, downhill style. He'll need to prove he can handle the rigors of NFL blocking and pass protection while showing the burst to contribute on the ground. Beerntsen, meanwhile, will look to develop his technique and carve out a role along an offensive line that prizes toughness and versatility.
With more than half of their draft class now officially signed, the Ravens are setting the stage for a smooth transition into rookie minicamp. The message is clear: preparation and player readiness come first. As the 2026 season approaches, Baltimore is positioning itself to hit the ground running—both on the field and in the business of building a winning roster.
