Ravens GM Says 'I Really Expect' Mark Andrews on 2025 Roster amid Trade Rumors

Andrew Peters
Apr 26, 2025
Steelers Ravens Football

Amid uncertainty about Mark Andrews' future with the Baltimore Ravens this offseason, general manager Eric DeCosta addressed recent trade speculation and had high praise for the tight end.

"At this point, I really expect Mark to be on this team," DeCosta told reporters after the second and third rounds of the NFL Draft on Friday. "Great player. Love him. Competitive, tough, playmaker. I would expect him to be on the team."

Andrews has been with the Ravens for his entire seven-year career, becoming a staple of Baltimore's successful tenure alongside quarterback Lamar Jackson. Andrews is the Ravens' career touchdown receptions leader with 51.

As much success as the 29-year-old has had, he wasn't spared from trade rumors heading into the offseason, especially after a season where he struggled to match his typical production.

While he had 673 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns, Andrews' yards per game total was the second-lowest of his career. The Ravens' season also ended on a bad note for Andrews after he dropped a catch on what would have been a late game-tying two-point conversion in the divisional-round playoffs against the Buffalo Bills.

Ad Placeholder

A few weeks before the draft, DeCosta wasn't as confident that Andrews would still be a Raven in 2025 as he was on Friday.

"His competitiveness, his talent, his attitude, his leadership is so valued here," DeCosta said earlier this month, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley. "He's a great player. And I think we're in the business of keeping as many great players as we can. So, there's always a lot of unpredictability with the draft. You just never know."

Ad Placeholder

There's still no guarantee that Andrews will make it through the offseason without being traded, but DeCosta's recent comments indicate the Ravens want to keep him in town if they can.

Should Andrews stay in Baltimore in 2025, the Ravens will bring back a talented tight end group that also features Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar as they look to get over the hump and put together a Super Bowl run.

Malaki Starks Reportedly Ravens' 'Dream Pick' in 1st Round of 2025 NFL Draft

Paul Kasabian
Apr 23, 2025
Georgia v Ole Miss

The Baltimore Ravens reportedly envision Georgia safety Malaki Starks as their "dream pick," per ESPN's Matt Miller.

"Starks is Baltimore's dream pick, according to conversations with multiple scouts around the league," Miller wrote.

Starks is ranked fourth overall on the final B/R NFL Scouting Department big board, and he went 13th overall to the Miami Dolphins in the most recent B/R NFL mock draft.

It's no surprise that the Ravens would want to add a potential defensive superstar. Baltimore has been blocked from making the Super Bowl out of the AFC in the Lamar Jackson era because of the Patrick Mahomes-led Kansas City Chiefs and the Josh Allen-led Buffalo Bills.

Ad Placeholder

They need more defensive help to slow down those two superstar quarterbacks and their fantastic teams. The Ravens also have a formidable division foe in Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Starks makes sense for Baltimore, but the Ravens are slated to pick No. 27 right now. Starks simply may not fall that far, so Baltimore may need to trade up for him.

Ad Placeholder

But prospects fall all the time in the draft. And if he's sitting there at No. 27, it's hard to envision Baltimore going anywhere else. ESPN's Jamison Hensley picked Starks in the ESPN beat writer mock draft and provided solid reasoning.

We'll see where Starks goes and what direction the Ravens take in Round 1 shortly with the draft beginning Thursday at 8 p.m. ET from Green Bay.

Bilhal Kone NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens CB

Matt Holder
Apr 22, 2025
Western Michigan Football

The Baltimore Ravens selected Western Michigan CB Bilhal Kone with the No. 178 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Bilhal Kone is a zone corner who has the speed to cover deep routes when playing off coverage and is solid at driving on routes. He also shows impressive awareness to execute pattern matches and recognize opportunities to come off his man and help teammates in coverage.

Bilhal Kone Highlights

Additionally, Kone had good ball production during his two years at Western Michigan and is a willing run defender and tackler. He'd be a good fit as either a Cover 2 or 3 boundary corner as a later-round prospect who can also add value as a special teams player.

Robert Longerbeam NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens CB

Matt Holder
Apr 22, 2025
Rutgers Maryland Football

The Baltimore Ravens selected Rutgers CB Robert Longerbeam with the No. 212 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Robert Longerbeam is a competitive and scrappy cornerback prospect out of Rutgers who plays bigger than his listed size. Standing at 5'11" and weighing 171 pounds, Longerbeam combines tenacity, vision, and awareness to excel in zone coverage and make plays on the ball. Despite his physical limitations, his willingness to tackle and his mental acuity make him a valuable depth piece and potential rotational player in the secondary.

Robert Longerbeam Highlights

In coverage, Longerbeam is best suited for zone schemes, where his vision and awareness allow him to position himself well and anticipate throws. He shows calmness with the ball in the air and does a good job of swiping through the catch point to disrupt receptions. In press coverage, Longerbeam is effective when he can get his hands on receivers early, using his competitiveness to fight for positioning. However, he struggles when giving free releases, as his lack of top-end speed and recovery ability can leave him exposed against faster receivers. His burst out of transitions is average, occasionally allowing separation on shorter routes, and he can be stacked behind receivers downfield.

Ad Placeholder

Longerbeam triggers quickly to the run, flying downhill with an aggressive mindset. He isn't afraid to take on blockers and shows good angles and leverage when approaching ball-carriers. However, his thinner frame can make disengaging from blocks a challenge, and he occasionally runs around blocks rather than engaging directly, leaving open running lanes. While he flashes the ability to deliver strong tackles, his overall tackling consistency leaves room for improvement, as he can miss tackles or fail to bring down bigger, stronger runners.

Ad Placeholder

Robert Longerbeam projects as a late-round pick or priority free agent who can contribute as a backup cornerback and special teams player. His competitiveness, awareness in zone coverage, and willingness to support the run make him a valuable addition to a secondary in need of depth. While his lack of top-end speed and inconsistent tackling may limit his ceiling, Longerbeam's instincts and effort provide a solid foundation for development in a reserve or sub-package role.

SHUTTLE: 4.25

VERTICAL: 36.5"

BROAD: 11'2"

POSITIVES

— Competitive cornerback who doesn't give up on the play and plays through the whistle. Does a good job of swiping through the catch point and shows to be calm with the ball in the air.

— Triggers quick to the run and screens, flying up to the ball-carrier and showing the willingness and aggressive mindset to tackle.

— Very good in zone coverage. Showing vision, awareness, and good positioning with leverage.

Ad Placeholder

NEGATIVES

— Questionable top-end speed. Lacks the ideal recovery speed when trying to get back in phase with crossers and down the field.

— Good footwork but shows average burst when transitioning on the receiver and ball.

— Takes on blockers well but can be slow to disengage and runs around blocks at times, allowing running lanes.

— Though he flashes when tackling, he can be lackluster and inconsistent too often.

Chandler Martin NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens LB

Matt Holder
Apr 22, 2025
Liberty Bowl Football

The Baltimore Ravens added Memphis LB Chandler Martin as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 NFL draft.

Chandler Martin is a solid coverage linebacker who has decent instincts against the run and speed when coming downhill. That gives him the potential to make an NFL roster as a rookie, especially if he can prove himself on special teams.

Chandler Martin Highlights

Martin must get better at taking on blocks and become a more consistent tackler to have a long NFL career, though.

MEASUREMENT AND WORKOUT RESULTS

HEIGHT: 6'0"

WEIGHT: 229

HAND: 10"

ARM: 31⅞”

40-YARD DASH: 4.55

SHUTTLE: 4.22

3-CONE: 6.85

VERTICAL: 37"

BROAD: 10'6"

POSITIVES

— Very productive over the last two seasons with 206 total tackles, 33 TFL, 10 sacks, three interceptions and six pass breakups in 26 games.

Ad Placeholder

— Good at reading the quarterback's eyes when playing zone coverage to help tighten throwing windows.

— Impressive hand-eye coordination to make plays on the ball in coverage.

— Solid instincts against the run and as a pass-rusher to shoot gaps to get unblocked tackles or find rushing lanes to get pressure on the quarterback.

— Decent sideline-to-sideline range.

NEGATIVES

— Lacks the quickness and lateral-movement skills to effectively slip blocks from offensive linemen on the second level.

Ad Placeholder

— Gets stuck on blocks because he either doesn't use his hands to take on blocks or has subpar arm length and strength at the point of attack to get extension against offensive linemen.

— Needs to add some sand in his pants to anchor against offensive linemen in the running game.

— Can get caught staring in the backfield too long in zone coverage. Misses threats coming into his area.

— Doesn't consistently bring his feet when tackling, leading to misses.

NOTES

Aeneas Peebles NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens DL

Matt Holder
Apr 22, 2025
NFL Combine Football

The Baltimore Ravens selected Virginia Tech DL Aeneas Peebles with the No. 210 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Aeneas Peebles is a gap-shooting 3-technique defensive tackle. He has impressive agility, quickness and get-off to get penetration when one-gapping or slanting. He’s also shown solid spin and swim moves that he can win with as a pass-rusher in addition to being a decent bull-rusher against slide protections.

Aeneas Peebles Highlights

However, Peebles is undersized, which will limit his ceiling in the NFL. More importantly, his short arms impact him as a run defender and pass-rusher, making him very reliant on getting penetration off the snap.

Ad Placeholder

That will push him into a specific role in the NFL, and his playing style leads to issues maintaining gap responsibility.

MEASUREMENT AND WORKOUT RESULTS

HEIGHT: 6'0½"

WEIGHT: 282

HAND: 9⅝”  

ARM: 31⅜” 

WINGSPAN: 77¼”

40-YARD DASH: 4.94

SHUTTLE: 4.7

VERTICAL: 32.5"

BROAD: 9'1"

POSITIVES

— Impressive quickness and lateral movement skills for an interior defender.

— Good get-off, quick to react to the snap and accelerates off the ball well to shoot gaps and get penetration.

— Has natural leverage as a run defender and plays with solid knee bend.

— Shown a decent swim move to get off blocks and win as a pass-rusher.

Ad Placeholder

— Uses his swim move to defeat guards when lined up as a 3-technique against slide protection and has good leg drive to collapse the pocket against centers with a bull rush.

— Solid spin move that he can beat guards with when rushing the passer.

— Good pass-rush motor.

NEGATIVES

— Undersized and has short arms.

— Lack of arm length shows up in both phases of the game, as he struggles to get extension on blocks against the run and has difficulty making the first significant contact with his hands as a pass-rusher.

Ad Placeholder

— Often just barrels into blocks with his head down instead of using proper technique against the run.

— Playing style leads to having a weak base, getting knocked off balance and kicked out of his gap easily, and makes him susceptible to getting reached or trapped.

— Needs to add a rip move to the end of his pass-rush moves to get clean wins.

— Lacks a plan when rushing; doesn’t use countermoves when his initial move doesn’t work.

NOTES

— Born Sept. 3, 2001

— 3-star recruit in the 2020 class, per 247Sports

— No major injuries

— Played at Duke from 2020 to 2023 before transferring to Virginia Tech in 2024

LaJohntay Wester NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens WR

Nicholas Nathanson
Apr 22, 2025
Oklahoma St Colorado Football

The Baltimore Ravens selected Colorado WR LaJohntay Wester with the No. 203 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

LaJohntay Wester is a slot-only receiver with quick-twitch movements and route-running.

Wester creates natural and easy separation with speed and sharp plants/cuts at the top of routes. He has the top-end speed needed to stress defenders on slot fades and vertical routes. He is a volume slot receiver and a mismatch for most safeties and linebackers. 

LaJohntay Wester Highlights

Wester primarily lines up in the slot. With a two-way go, he stresses the defender’s ability to stay in phase after the release. Wester is a good route-runner and uses his body to sell the route. He alters his route tempo and speed to keep defenders off balance. 

Ad Placeholder

Wester is good after the catch with his experience as a return specialist. His quickness and suddenness generate missed tackles and less-than-ideal pursuit angles in space. He is adept with the football, bringing effectiveness and acceleration after the catch on gadget and manufactured touches. 

Wester struggles defeating physical press corners. His lack of strength and length leaves him vulnerable to jump-and-run coverage. Wester’s wingspan and catch radius are small and limit his effectiveness on passes away from his frame. He will not convert many 50-50 or contested catches into receptions.

Ad Placeholder

Wester needs to clean up his struggles with drops. One of the fastest ways to lose the faith of your quarterback and coaching staff in the NFL is by dropping on-target passes. He allows the ball into his frame in an attempt to trap it instead of using his hands to reel it in. 

Wester projects as a slot-only receiver with quickness and speed. He offers special teams value as a punt returner. Wester can flip field possession for his offense. However, he will require pre-snap motions to keep him off the line for free releases against NFL corners. 

MEASUREMENT AND WORKOUT RESULTS

HEIGHT: 5'10"

WEIGHT: 163

HAND: 8⅝"

ARM: 29¾"

WINGSPAN: 72⅝"

40-YARD DASH: 4.46

VERTICAL: 32"

POSITIVES

— Runs routes with suddenness and sharp steps at the break point.

— Punt return ace with the potential to flip field possession in an instant.

— Legitimate acceleration and top-end speed to win the vertical plane.

Ad Placeholder


NEGATIVES

— Small body. Limited catch radius for throws outside of his frame.

— Not a reliable or natural hands-catcher; accounted for 30 drops in five seasons.

— Play strength in contact window. Does not fend off handsy, physical corners.

NOTES

— Born March 29, 2002

— Unranked recruit in 2020 class, per 247Sports 

— 2024 Honorable Mention All-Big 12 Conference

Mike Green NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens Edge

Matt Holder
Apr 21, 2025
Senior Bowl Football

The Baltimore Ravens selected Marshall EDGE Mike Green with the No. 59 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

After transferring from Virginia and not becoming a full-time starter until the 2024 campaign, Mike Green is arguably the biggest riser in this year's draft class. He went from an unknown Group of Five player to leading the country in sacks and becoming a late-first- to early-second-round prospect.

Green is a twitched-up pass-rusher who has burst off the line to win around the edge with speed and showed several impressive pass-rush moves this past season (see above). Granted, he is still working on the consistency of his spin move and the hump move is more of an occasional counter than a primary weapon in his arsenal.

Mike Green Highlights

Additionally, the Marshall product takes efficient paths to the quarterback by using good angles, impressive bend and dropping his pads down to corner at the top of the rush. He also has great closing speed and a good motor to get coverage sacks.

Ad Placeholder

Green is a work in progress against the run. He was listed as a wide receiver recruit and was a 215-pound linebacker at Virginia and that shows up in his play strength. He lacks the upper body strength to get extension on blocks and sand in his pants to set the edge against offensive tackles at the next level.

Ad Placeholder

Green has put on a significant amount of weight after changing schools, but that does lead to more questions about how many more pounds his wiry frame can hold. The good news is he's a physical player who you don't turn up as that was evident against Ohio State, the best competition he faced last fall.

So, if Green can add the necessary size and strength in an NFL weight program, he can become an every-down player as a standup outside linebacker in odd fronts. As a rookie and maybe for his first couple of years, he'll likely be more of a third-down pass-rusher though.

While Green ranks as a first-round player in 2025 class, he could slide during the draft because of the two sexual assault accusations.

MEASUREMENT AND WORKOUT RESULTS

HEIGHT: 6'3"

WEIGHT: 251

HAND: 8½”

ARM: 32⅜"

WINGSPAN: 77¾”

3-CONE: 6.85

SHUTTLE: 4.25

POSITIVES

— Great production as a pass-rusher, led FBS in sacks this season.

Ad Placeholder

— Impressive athlete who is quick-twitched and accelerates off the line of scrimmage well to win with speed when rushing the passer or get penetration against the run.

— Sets up his pass-rush moves well by stemming to the inside or outside and using his quickness to win in the opposite direction.

— Has shown several moves he can win with; arm-over, cross-chop, stick, spin, hump.

— Takes good angles, is bendy and drops his pads down to corner at the top of the rush.

— Physical at the point of attack and takes on blocks with his hands as a run defender to be effective against tight ends.

— Can use the arm-over move and quickness to defeat blocks in the running game.

— Relentless motor.

Ad Placeholder

NEGATIVES

— Thin and wiry frame, needs to add size and strength to set the edge against NFL offensive tackles.

— Upper body strength to get extension on blocks is sub-par, too.

— Likes to work around or duck inside blocks against the run, leaving his gap open.

— Has a habit of leaving his feet to tackle, leading to misses.

— Will gamble and lose outside contain as a pass-rusher.

— Didn't become a full-time starter until 2024.

NOTES

— 3-star recruit as a wide receiver in the 2021 class, per 247Sports

— No major injuries

— Transferred from Virginia ahead of 2023 season

— 2024: Sun Belt Player of the Year, First-Team All-Sun Belt, Led FBS in sacks and TFL

Garrett Dellinger NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens IOL

Alex Kay
Apr 21, 2025
LSU Pro Day Football

The Baltimore Ravens selected LSU IOL Garrett Dellinger with the No. 243 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Garrett Dellinger is a three-year starter primarily at left guard including seven starts during the 2024 season inside LSU's 59-41 pass-run split, multiple-run scheme. Dellinger has a dense build, thick midsection and core with adequate movement skills and good play strength.

Garrett Dellinger Highlights

Dellinger uses his girth and good square power to cover up, uproot and dig targets off of their spot on short pull kick-out, base and down blocks. He strains and runs his feet to tally the occasional knockdown when he catches defenders leaning into the hole and has solid snap timing to compensate for middling athletic ability and get him to his initial landmark on backside cut-offs against 2i/1T alignments. Dellinger's below-average redirect and recovery skills leave him overextended and off-balance against sudden post-snap movement across his face that results in soft edges and gradual and/or quick penetration.

Ad Placeholder

In pass protection Dellinger is a sturdy presence against the bull-rush and power with a stiff punch to provide firm help when uncovered. Dellinger flashes the ability to bait and circle around rushers to get them corralled but will also punch down the middle or be late to strike that leaves him out-leveraged and susceptible to getting lifted and/or edged quickly.

Overall, Dellinger has a thick, sturdy build with good play strength and square power that make him an effective downhill run blocker but mediocre movement skills sap his sustain skills and signal a backup guard.

POSITIVES

— Dense, thick build with good square power and play strength to cover up and uproot targets on short pull kick-outs, base and down blocks.

— Can drop his hips and root his feet to sit down and eat the bull-rush using girth and core strength.

Ad Placeholder

— Times the snap well when needed to initially square up his target on backside 2i/1T cut-offs.

— Strains and drives his legs through contact as a finisher to widen defenders off of their spot and catch them leaning into the lane before dumping them.

NEGATIVES

— Below average, sluggish redirect and recovery skills leave him overextended and off-balance against shifty moves across his face.

— Middling arm length coupled with a tendency to punch down the middle of rushers creates a soft outside edge and short corners.

NOTES

— Born Feb. 2, 2002

Emery Jones Jr. NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Baltimore Ravens IOL

Alex Kay
Apr 21, 2025
NFL Combine Football

The Baltimore Ravens selected LSU IOL Emery Jones Jr. with the No. 91 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Emery Jones Jr. is a three-year starter inside LSU's pass-first (60-40 pass-run split), multiple-run scheme. Jones has long limbs, a thick frame with good mass, good play strength, and adequate athletic ability.

Jones brings good square power and length to deliver jolt on angle-drive blocks, generate displacement and keep defenders at his fingertips to create alleys off of his backside while looking to strain and finish once latched. Jones shows shaky body control and recovery skills when the picture changes post-snap against stutters/hesitations, leaving him leaning and lunging in an attempt to line up his target. This results in him falling off of blocks and being on the ground too often.

Emery Jones Jr. Highlights

In pass protection Jones shows flashes of utilizing independent hands with a flat-back posture to protect his outside hand against swipes/chops and pinch off inside counters while bringing a finisher's mentality to deliver body blows, but he consistently has to overcome being late to the spot against high-side rushes, crossing over and losing his balance at the top of the QB's drop. He also has a bad habit of biting on stutters and hesitations that result in soft edges and quick wins for the rusher.

Overall, Jones has the frame, play strength and demeanor to deliver jolt, displacement and high-level finishes with the youth and flashes of proper posture and strike timing in pass protection to indicate upside, but shaky body control and balance too often sap his ability to sustain, leading to glaring, clean losses. Jones is a toolsy, low-floor prospect who likely needs to be brought along slowly to find a role.

MEASUREMENT AND WORKOUT RESULTS

HEIGHT: 6'5"

HAND: 34¼"

ARM: 10¾"

WINGSPAN: 81½"

40-YARD DASH: NA

3-CONE: NA

SHUTTLE: NA

VERTICAL: NA

BROAD: NA

POSITIVES

— Good play strength, length and ability to play long, uproot and displace defenders on angle-drive blocks.

— Flashes effective independent hands in pass protection to play light with his outside hand and recover against swipes/chops and slow down inside counters with his catch hand.

— Has the aggressive demeanor and another gear late in the rep during the drive phase of the block to strain and generate knockdown power.

— Can deliver jolt, dent and deliver body blows against jumpers and when uncovered in pass protection.

Ad Placeholder

NEGATIVES

— Upright play style with marginal footwork and weight distribution on redirect attempts lead to getting crossed over and easily being manipulated out of position against stutters, hesitations and gap exchanges.

— On the ground too often due to falling off of blocks clean and losing his base.

— Questionable range to protect the corner on an island against wide-rush alignments.

— 4-star recruit from the 2022 class, per 247Sports
