NFL Draft countdown: Focus on Ravens' first-round pick at No. 27

He also had 52 pressures with a pair of forced fumbles on his way to being named the 2024 Sun Belt Player of the Year. NFL Network’s Lance Zierlein compares the 6-foot-3, 251-pound lineman to Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith and calls Green a “high-energy pass rusher with productivity and a method of play that should translate to the next level.”

S Malaki Starks | Georgia

ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. also thinks his hometown Ravens will address their defense in his latest mock draft but has Baltimore taking Starks, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound safety from Georgia, a player Pro Football Focus considers the best safety in the draft.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Georgia native had six interceptions and 17 passes defended in three seasons with the Bulldogs and led the team with 77 tackles in 2024. Pro Football Network calls Starks "hyper-explosive" and "a lab-built athlete with exceptional mass, proportions, and high-end length," and like Kiper, believes he’s versatile enough to play two-high, single-high, in the box, or off-man in the slot.

Only the Jaguars allowed more passing yards per game (257.4) than the Ravens (244.1) last season, but Kiper believes Starks would thrive alongside two time All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton, the team’s first-round pick in 2022. 

OG Tyler Booker | Alabama

When it comes to the Ravens, Sports Illustrated's Daniel Flick has eyes on the offensive line in his mock draft and has the team taking the 6-foot-5, 325-pound lineman with the 27th pick.

Booker was a two-year starter and team captain with Alabama and gave up only two sacks in his college career. He may not be the fastest or strongest prospect on the board, but Flick believes what Booker "lacks in high-end athleticism, he makes up for with a physical, punishing play style."

PFF ranks Booker as the top guard available in this year’s draft, and his production score (81) ranked first among guards at the scouting combine, per NFL Next Gen Stats.

Booker split time between left and right guard as a freshman before being used exclusively at right guard in 2023. He mixed in 77 snaps at left tackle last season. Best suited for a downhill, power-based attack, Booker should have no problem adjusting to Baltimore’s gap-heavy scheme.
