The 2025 NFL draft is approaching, with Tennessee expected to pick Miami quarterback Cam Ward first overall. Baltimore, slated to pick 27th, is speculated to focus on strengthening their defense. ESPN's Mel Kiper suggests the Ravens consider selecting Georgia safety Malaki Starks or a top pass rusher like Shemar Stewart to enhance their roster.
Stewart, known for his athleticism and physicality, could provide the edge rush Baltimore needs alongside Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh. With David Ojabo's underperformance and others yet to deliver consistently, Stewart's potential impact is highlighted. On the other hand, Starks, a versatile safety from Georgia, boasts impressive collegiate stats, potentially amplifying the effectiveness of the Ravens' defense, especially in collaboration with standout player Kyle Hamilton.
