Jets Add No. 176, Draft DE Tyler Baron

April 26th, 2025 at 2:46pm CST by Adam La Rose

The Jets have moved up 10 spots in the order, swinging a deal with the Ravens in the process. New York has added pick No. 176 along with a 2026 sixth-round selection. Baltimore acquires No. 186 along with a fifth-rounder next year (h/t ESPN’s Jamison Hensley).

With pick No. 176, the Jets have selected Miami edge rusher Tyler Baron. The five-year senior spent the first four seasons of his college tenure at Tennessee. That stretch included a starting role in 2023 which resulted in a career-high six sacks.

Last year, Baron transferred to the Hurricanes and started nine of his 13 games with the team. The 23-year-old led Miami with 5.5 sacks and he set a new career-high with 11 tackles for loss. Those figures helped earn him honorable mention All-ACC honors.

As things stand, this selection represents the final pick of the draft for New York. The regime now led by general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn could of course add new picks for 2025, but for now the team has brought in seven rookies. Baron is the only one who will add depth along the defensive line.

The Jets have former first-rounders Jermaine Johnson and Will McDonald in place along the edge. As expected the team will pick up Johnson’s 2026 fifth-year option ensuring that tandem remains in place for at least two more years. Baron will spend the offseason aiming to compete for a rotational role as part of New York’s edge rush group.

Titans Trade Up To 136th Pick, Select Stanford WR Elic Ayomanor

April 26th, 2025 at 1:00pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

The Titans traded with the Ravens to acquire the 136th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and selected Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor.

Tennessee sent picks Nos. 141 and 178 to Baltimore and received Nos. 136 and 183. It’s a somewhat curious move by the Ravens’ front office, who moved back five picks in the fourth round and only moved up five picks in the sixth round.

Ayomanor is a big, explosive receiver who could compete for snaps early with his physicality and strength as a run blocker. After a redshirt freshman year at Stanford, he put up 1,844 yards and 12 touchdowns across 2023 and 2024.

The 21-year-old wideout’s game needs a lot of refinement, particularly in his route-running and consistency at the catch point. His attitude will endear him to NFL coaches, but offensive coordinators won’t send the ball his way until he gets better at the basics of the position.

With the 141st pick acquired in the trade, the Ravens selected Alabama A&M offensive tackle Carson Vinson. He has prototypical size for the position with solid athleticism and profiles as a developmental left tackle in Baltimore. The Ravens re-signed Ronnie Stanley through the 2027 season, but Vinsons could be a candidate to replace him if he develops into a more consistent, reliable blocker.

Ravens GM Expects Mark Andrews “To Be On This Team”

April 26th, 2025 at 9:32am CST by Ben Levine

With Mark Andrews being the subject of trade rumors this offseason, the draft appeared to be a key moment in determining the tight end’s future in Baltimore. Through the first two days of the draft, Andrews remains with the Ravens, and GM Eric DeCosta acknowledged that it’s probably going to remain that way.

“At this point, I would really expect Mark to be on this team,” DeCosta told reporters last night (via ESPN’s Jamison Hensley). “Great player, love him, competitive, tough playmaker. I would expect him to be on the team.”

Andrews has established himself as a franchise legend in Baltimore, as the tight end holds the franchise record for touchdowns (rushing or receiving) and ranks second in franchise history in receiving yards. However, a divorce wouldn’t be completely unfounded.

Beyond Andrews’ continued playoff failures (which culminated in a recent playoff loss to the Bills that saw the tight end fumble the ball on a crucial drive and drop a game-tying two-point conversion), there are also financial incentives for moving on from the tight end. Andrews is entering the final season of a four-year, $56MM extension, and he’s due to carry a lofty cap charge of $16.91MM in 2025. A trade would provide the organization with $11MM in cap savings.

While Andrews wouldn’t command nearly as large of a contract next offseason, there was a belief that the Ravens could look to squeeze value out of the asset, especially if they already intended to move on in 2026. Plus, with Isaiah Likely entering the final season of his rookie contract, the Ravens may be in a position to pick between the two. If a suitor was willing to pony up for Andrews, the team could simply move forward with Likely.

Andrews hasn’t come close to matching his 1,300-yard campaign from 2021, and he finished last season with only 39.6 yards per game, his lowest average since his rookie year. On the flip side, he found the end zone 11 times (a career high), and a recent report indicated that the team is cognizant that losing Andrews would still hurt their 2025 roster.

For what it’s worth, Andrews recently expressed optimism that he’d remain in Baltimore for at least the 2025 season. Head coach John Harbaugh has also expressed an expectation that his long-time player will remain with the squad. DeCosta was the last to weigh in, and the GM’s comments seem to confirm that Andrews will spend at least one more year with the Ravens.

Ravens Select Mike Green With 59th Pick

April 25th, 2025 at 8:14pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

The Ravens have selected Marshall edge rusher Mike Green with the 59th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, ending the 21-year-old’s slide after an initial first-round projection.

Accusations of sexual assault have raised significant character concerns about Green, who racked up 17.0 sacks in 2024 and posted elite agility numbers at his pro day. He was linked to multiple teams in the first round, including the Falcons, but concerns about his past knocked him off of multiple teams’ boards, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Green’s selection by the Ravens will shine a spotlight on the allegations against him with the team already waiting for the results of a league investigation into Justin Tucker. Baltimore’s front office has historically prioritized high-character prospects in the draft, such as Malaki Starks, last night’s first-round selection. The team has largely avoided questions about Tucker this offseason, but drafting Green will put more attention on their approach to players with allegations of sexual misconduct off the field.

As a player, though, Green profiles as a complete edge rusher with the athleticism, bend, and violence to be a consistent sack-getter in the NFL. Against the run, he compensates for his lack of size with power and effort to set a hard edge. He played against lesser competition in the Sun Belt in college and will face a significant jump in the NFL, but his tape clearly shows the potential to be an elite pass-rusher in the pros.

Draft Trade Notes: Chargers, Campbell, Loveland, Cowboys, Ravens, Conerly

April 25th, 2025 at 6:05pm CST by Adam La Rose

The Eagles wound up moving one spot up the first-round order last night. The move ensured the Super Bowl champions were able to select Jihaad Campbell, but that was not the only effort made to trade up the board.

Philadelphia negotiated with the Chargers about acquiring the No. 22 pick, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reports. He adds Los Angeles was in conversation with multiple teams while on the clock, but the proposed deal with the Eagles may very well have fallen through due to an “issue” communicating it to the league.

By rule, both teams must contact the NFL separately to report the terms of a trade agreement. Since that did not take place in time, the Bolts retained their pick and drafted North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton. The Eagles still wound up acquiring Campbell – the target of the attempted Chargers trade, per Florio – at No. 31. The Alabama product will look to make an immediate impact at the second level and/or on the edge during his rookie season.

Here are some other draft-related notes from last night’s opening round:

Colston Loveland was the first tight end to hear his name called on Thursday night. The Michigan alum went 10th overall to the Bears, a team which received interest for their top selection. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Loveland was the subject of trade calls leading up to Chicago’s pick. Movement on the trade front only took place much later in the round after the Bears committed to staying put. When speaking to the media on Friday, Loveland revealed (via Scott Bair of Marquee Sports) he is halfway through his shoulder rehab; with progress continuing to be made, he will aim to return to full health in time for the start of his rookie campaign.
For the third time in the past four years, the Cowboys looked to the offensive line during the first round of the draft. Alabama Guard Tyler Booker went 12th overall, a move which came as no surprise considering where the team’s board stood at the time. David Moore of the Dallas Morning News reports Booker was the highest-rated player available at that point out of the remaining prospects. Moore adds the Cowboys had 12 prospects with a first-round grade, which helps explain the decision to remain in place instead of trading down.
When speaking to the media, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said (via ESPN’s Jamison Hensley) opportunities were presented to move down the order. Instead, Baltimore stayed put at No. 27 and took Georgia safety Malaki Starks. DeCosta said the team’s strong Starks evaluation allowed for the potential of a trade-down move to be outweighed by the upside of selecting him.
The Browns and Texans own the top two selections in the second round, and to no surprise both teams are receiving calls. Last night, though, Cleveland and Houston showed interest in acquiring a late Day 1 selection; Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reports the target in both cases was Josh Conerly Jr. The Oregon tackle came off the board at No. 29 (Commanders), which put an end to those efforts. Of course, that suggests help along the O-line will be a priority tonight for those teams.

2026 NFL Fifth-Year Option Tracker

April 25th, 2025 at 2:18pm CST by Sam Robinson

NFL teams have until May 1 to officially pick up fifth-year options on 2022 first-rounders. The 2020 CBA revamped the option structure and made them fully guaranteed, rather than guaranteed for injury only. Meanwhile, fifth-year option salaries are now determined by a blend of performance- and usage-based benchmarks:

Two-time Pro Bowlers (excluding alternates) will earn the same as their position’s franchise tag
One-time Pro Bowlers will earn the equivalent of the transition tag
Players who achieve any of the following will receive the average of the third-20th-highest salaries at their position:
- At least a 75% snap rate in two of their first three seasons
- A 75% snap average across all three seasons
- At least 50% in each of first three seasons
Players who do not hit any of those benchmarks will receive the average of the third-25th top salaries at their position

We covered how last year’s Pro Bowl invites affected the 2022 first-round class. With the deadline looming, we will use the space below to track all the 2026 option decisions from around the league:

Ravens Draft S Malaki Starks At No. 27

April 24th, 2025 at 10:12pm CST by Adam La Rose

The first safety has come off the board. Georgia’s Malaki Starks has, to little surprise, been selected by the Ravens at No. 27 overall. A team whose biggest needs were in the trenches, Baltimore instead addresses the weakest part of their defense from the early part of the 2024 season.

Starks was praised during his time in Athens for his leadership ability, often taking responsibility for his teammates’ alignments as much as his own. Playing most of his time in the defensive backfield, Starks also found plenty of time in the box and nickel spots on the Bulldogs defense.

Though the Ravens brought him in to address a pass defense that was the second-worst in the league over the course of the 2024 season, Starks biggest strengths were in run defense, as he frequently allowed big plays on defense last year. Baltimore will hope that handing over green-dot duties to players like Kyle Hamilton and Roquan Smith will allow Starks to focus on his own assignments and let his instincts take over in coverage. The Ravens will hope to see the version of Starks from 2023 that limited big plays while logging 19 passes defensed and five interceptions in his first two seasons.

What’s interesting is that, after a Week 10 shootout with the Bengals, the Ravens pass defense became one of the best in the NFL, allowing just 172 passing yards per game and just five touchdowns to six interceptions over that time. The difference came when the team cut Eddie Jackson and permanently benched Marcus Williams, instead planting Hamilton back at safety alongside Ar’Darius Washington. With Washington recently signing his restricted free agent tender, both starters are set to return in 2025, so Starks fit in Baltimore becomes intriguing.

Because Starks showed a tendency to get beat over the top in 2024, when his eyes got caught in the offensive backfield or when he got mixed up by crossing intermediate routes, the team may continue using Hamilton and Washington in the defensive backfield, choosing to utilize Starks in the box or nickel role, though Marlon Humphrey has typically manned the slot lately. Regardless, Baltimore has an embarrassment of riches in the secondary, and they seem to be doing everything to make sure their pass defense doesn’t leak early in the year again in 2025.

AFC Draft Rumors: Broncos, Chiefs, Chargers, Bills, Ravens, Titans, Jaguars

April 23rd, 2025 at 4:37pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Broncos have been connected to trading up, but a year after Sean Payton admitted he participated in a smokescreen operation surrounding a potential first-round move up the board, the team may be content staying at No. 20. A recent report pegged Denver as a team interested in trading up, but The Athletic’s Dianna Russini counters by indicating the team is comfortable staying at 20 or potentially moving back. It is important to note Payton’s teams have never traded back in the first round during his HC tenure, but the Broncos are known to be interested in adding a running back. A potential move down the board could allow the team to draft a starter-level RB while adding assets.

This could effectively serve as an announcement the Broncos’ No. 20 pick could be had by a team aiming to climb back into Round 1 — and there are believed to be many — for a quarterback. Though, ESPN.com’s Matt Miller adds the Broncos are believed to be more interested in adding a wideout or a tight end in Round 1 than addressing their RB need there.

A day out, here is the latest from around the draft:

Denver would be taking a risk by moving out of Round 1 altogether, as this is a loaded running back class. Another team that could be in the mix for a back: the Broncos’ top rival. The three-time reigning AFC champion Chiefs did some late work on TreVeyon Henderson, with ESPN.com’s Jeremy Fowler noting Andy Reid participated in a video call with the versatile Ohio State RB. The Chiefs hold the No. 31 overall pick and are not planning to extend Isiah Pacheco before the season, as the three-year starter missed much of last season with a broken leg. Henderson’s stock is on the rise, per Fowler, and his floor appears to be early in the second round.
Staying in the AFC West, the Chargers are believed to be eyeing an early-round upgrade to their edge-rushing corps, Miller adds. The Bolts re-signed Khalil Mack, but that came after the Joey Bosa release. Mack is also 34 and on a one-year deal. Bud Dupree is also in a contract year, even as two years remain on Tuli Tuipulotu‘s rookie pact.
Holding the No. 27 overall pick, the Ravens are believed to be interested in adding a safety — after multiple investments backfired at the position. As our Ely Allen pointed out in PFR’s mock draft, the shortcomings of Marcus Williams and Eddie Jackson restricted Kyle Hamilton last season. The Ravens want Hamilton to play a deep safety role, and Georgia’s Malaki Starks excelling in multiple areas would enable that and qualify as Baltimore’s “dream pick” in Round 1.
Bills ties to a first-round defensive tackle pick have emerged, but Miller indicates the five-time reigning AFC East champs have a higher opinion of Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos than the DTs expected to be available by No. 30 overall. Buffalo re-signed Tre’Davious White, but he profiles as more flier than true Rasul Douglas replacement. Amos would effectively qualify as a make-up call for the team’s Kaiir Elam miss.
Although Mike Borgonzi said the Titans are not planning to move off No. 1, despite some offers (most notably from the Giants), ESPN’s Adam Schefter indicates the team wants to add to its draft arsenal. Specifically, Tennessee wants to add a Day 2 pick. The team traded its third-rounder (No. 66) for L’Jarius Sneed last year, as Borgonzi was working for the Chiefs at that point.
Despite holding the No. 5 overall pick, the Jaguars threw a strange wrinkle into their pre-draft process. They did not conduct any “30” visits, Schultz adds. This has left teams guessing, though the odd plan also would stand to leave Jacksonville’s new regime with less intel on prospects down the board. Indeed, PFR’s Jaguars page lists no “30” visits, adding intrigue to the first Liam Coen–James Gladstone offseason blueprint.
