Every draft class has that one player who makes you do a double-take—the guy who slides further than expected, only to land in a situation that suddenly makes perfect sense. For the Baltimore Ravens, that player might just be Rayshaun Benny.

Benny, a defensive tackle taken in the seventh round, wasn't exactly a household name on draft night. Most analysts had him pegged as a fourth-round talent, projected to go off the board in the top 150 picks. But sometimes, the draft board doesn't cooperate. And when it doesn't, the Ravens have a knack for turning those unexpected falls into opportunities.

Now, a new comparison is turning heads in Baltimore. NFL draft analyst Matt Miller recently released his rankings of the top 100 picks, steals, and fits from the 2026 NFL Draft. Buried inside that list at number 91 overall was Benny—and he was attached to a name every Ravens fan knows well: Nnamdi Madubuike.

Yes, you read that right. Miller noted that while it would be irresponsible to expect a seventh-round pick to become Madubuike, the player type is "a perfect match." Both are fast, undersized penetrators at defensive tackle who can disrupt plays before they develop. And with Madubuike's neck injury still a lingering question mark, the Ravens may have found a bargain-bin version of their star defender.

Comparisons like that don't come lightly. Madubuike, when healthy, is one of Baltimore's most disruptive interior forces—the kind of player who makes offensive linemen uncomfortable on every snap. If Benny can channel even a fraction of that energy, the Ravens might have just pulled off one of the most intriguing value swings of the entire draft.

For a team that prides itself on finding diamonds in the rough, this is the kind of story that makes you want to grab a Ravens hoodie and start believing in the underdog. After all, in Baltimore, seventh-round picks have a funny way of becoming fan favorites.
