Baltimore Ravens Offense: Depth Chart, Analysis & Draft Needs
Rich Hribar breaks down the offensive depth chart by position for the Baltimore Ravens, identifying areas where the team could improve in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.
Quarterback Depth Chart, Ravens:
- Lamar Jackson
- Cooper Rush
- Malik Cunningham
- Devin Leary
Lamar Jackson put together one of the best statistical seasons from a quarterback in 2024.
As a passer, Jackson led the league with an 8.6% touchdown rate, 8.8 yards per attempt, 119.6 rating, and 77.5 QBR.
He threw 41 touchdown passes to just 4 interceptions.
If that wasn’t enough, he added 915 yards and 4 touchdowns rushing.
Jackson also took a sack on a career-low 4.6% of his dropbacks.
His passing efficiency has ramped up in his two seasons working with Todd Monken.
Jackson is signed through 2027, but there have already been rumors that the team has had conversations about getting a new deal done.
The Ravens likely want to move around money because Jackson's cap hit for the 2026 and 2027 seasons jumps to $74.5 million.
This offseason, the team added Cooper Rush on a two-year deal as a backup, which goes against how Baltimore typically builds the quarterback room behind Jackson.
They have often had athletic, run-first options as depth at the position.
Still, the addition of Monken and this team's transition in the past two seasons of deploying more dropback passing could play a role in the decision to take a new direction.
The team still has a guy in that archetype in Malik Cunningham.
Rush went 9-5 with Dallas in his spot starts with the team.
Making 8 starts last season, his team went 4-4, with Rush throwing 12 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.
Running Back Depth Chart, Ravens:
- Derrick Henry
- Justice Hill
- Keaton Mitchell
- Rasheen Ali
The marriage between Derrick Henry and the Ravens played out as great on the field as it appeared on paper when he joined the team in free agency.
Henry had a remarkable regular season where he racked up 2,114 yards and 18 touchdowns.
He had a career-high 57.4% of his runs this season from the shotgun.
He faced a light box on a career-high 20.6% of his runs.
As a result, he averaged a career-high 2.41 yards before contact per rush.
13.8% of his runs went for 10 or more yards, his highest rate since 2019.
His 46.2% success rate as a runner was his highest since his rookie season.
Your best chance of slowing down Henry was to put the Ravens in a passing game script, which was no easy task.
The Ravens have run the ball 62.6% of the time with Henry on the field.
The only running back with a higher run rate per snap is Audric Estime (64.2%), who played 470 fewer snaps than Henry.
Henry has shown no signs of slowing down, but he just turned 31 this January and is only signed for this season.
The team could add some younger insurance here as an early-down rusher, which Baltimore did not have last season.
Justice Hill was second on the team among the running backs with 47 attempts.
Hill had an effective season in a complementary role as a passing-down back last season, turning 89 touches into 611 yards and 4 touchdowns.
He caught 42 passes for 383 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Hill is still under contract for two more seasons.
Keaton Mitchell is only signed for 2025, but the team has restricted rights on him next offseason.
Mitchell never got on the field last season, returning from an ACL injury that ended his 2023 season.
Mitchell only played 36 snaps over 5 games, rushing 15 times for 30 yards.
Baltimore picked Rasheen Ali in the fifth round last season, but he saw little to no action.
Ali only played 29 snaps, rushing 10 times for 31 yards.
Wide Receiver Depth Chart, Ravens:
- Zay Flowers
- Rashod Bateman
- DeAndre Hopkins
- Tylan Wallace
- Devontez Walker
- Keith Kirkwood
- Anthony Miller
- Dayton Wade
After a productive rookie season, Zay Flowers took a step forward in year two, catching 74 passes for 1,059 yards and 4 touchdowns.
It was the most yards a Baltimore wide receiver has had since Torrey Smith in 2013.
After averaging 11.1 yards per catch as a rookie, Flowers averaged 14.3 yards per catch last season.
Flowers averaged 2.27 yards per route (17th) and was targeted on 24.9% of his routes (22nd).
Baltimore made a savvy move last offseason by signing Rashod Bateman to a new contract that will keep him on the books through 2026.
Especially when factoring in what the wide receiver market looked like this offseason for players like Josh Palmer and Tutu Atwell, Baltimore having Bateman on the books for $5.1 million and $7.9 million the next two seasons looks like a great value.
Bateman is coming off the best season of his career, catching 45 passes for 756 yards and 9 touchdowns.
The Ravens added DeAndre Hopkins in free agency, who, at this stage, is more of a package player.
Hopkins will turn 33 this June, coming off a lackluster run with the Chiefs to close 2024.
Hopkins averaged a career-low 10.9 yards per catch last season with a career-low 38.1 yards per game.
Baltimore is not a heavy 3WR offense, so Hopkins will most likely be insurance and can make an impact in the red zone.
The Ravens were in 11 personnel on a league-low 28.1% of their snaps last season.
That rate was way down from the 47.2% rate in 2023 in Monken’s first season, but even that rate was 29th in the league.
Even if the Ravens increase their use of 11 personnel, Hopkins is not expected to be a full-time player.
From a contractual perspective, the only reserve receiver here signed beyond 2025 is Devontez Walker.
Tight End Depth Chart, Ravens:
- Mark Andrews
- Isaiah Likely
- Charlie Kolar
- Zaire Mitchell-Paden
The tight ends remained a significant part of the Baltimore passing game in 2024.
They targeted their tight ends 30.2% of the time, fifth in the league.
This past season was more of a joint effort between Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely instead of leaning on Andrews.
Andrews did not play as much in 2024 as he did in previous seasons, but he was still an impactful player when on the field.
Andrews ran a route on 65.8% of the dropbacks in his games, his lowest rate since 2019.
But after a slow start to the season, Andrews found his footing in the offense.
From Week 5 on, Andrews was 10th among tight ends in receptions (49), sixth in receiving yards (608), and first in touchdowns (11) while ranking 15th in targets (60).
He had only 57 fewer yards than Travis Kelce over that span.
Kelce had 52 more targets.
Over that stretch of the season, Andrews was third among tight ends in yards per route run (2.21), trailing only George Kittle (2.84) and Trey McBride (2.28).
Andrews scored a touchdown in 10 of the final 12 games.
There have been whispers that Andrews is still an option to move during the draft.
The Ravens do not have a tight end signed beyond this season.
Andrews will be 30 this September, the team has already reduced his playing time, and they could focus on investing in Likely as the future starter at the position.
Likely set early-career marks in receptions (42), yards (477), and touchdowns (6).
He ran a route on a career-high 60.6% of the team’s dropbacks in his games played.
As noted, Likely is set to be an unrestricted free agent after this season.
So is Charlie Kolar, who is their primary blocking tight end.
Kolar blocked on 79.3% of his snaps last season.
Offensive Line Depth Chart, Ravens:
LT: Ronnie Stanley
LG: Andrew Vorhees, Ben Cleveland
C: Tyler Linderbaum, Nick Samac, Darrian Dalcourt
RG: Daniel Faalele, Corey Bullock
RT: Roger Rosengarten
The Baltimore offensive line was a huge topic of discussion after the season opener, but the team calibrated quickly and made the most out of this unit over the course of the full season.
The Ravens ended the season third in ESPN’s pass block win rate (70%) and third in run block win rate (74%).
At Pro Football Focus, they ended seventh in pass blocking grade.
Health was a major part of things.
Baltimore’s most-used combination up front was on the field for 70.7% of the team snaps, third in the league.
Ronnie Stanley finally stayed on the field, playing the first full season of his nine-year career.
Stanley earned a three-year contract this offseason.
The team did lose a starter in Patrick Mekari this free agency.
Andrew Vorhees and Ben Cleveland are expected to compete for the left guard spot, but neither prevents Baltimore from adding competition for that job.
Beyond that, Baltimore does have some contractual depth here that they will have to address.
The team will surely pick up Tyler Linderbaum's fifth-year option, but he is due for a long-term contract.
Daniel Faalele and Cleveland are in the final seasons of their contracts.
Tackle depth is also in play since the Ravens should still have a contingency plan should Stanley miss games again.
Baltimore Ravens Defense: Depth Chart, Analysis & Draft Needs
Raymond Summerlin breaks down the defensive depth chart by position for the Baltimore Ravens, identifying areas where the team could improve in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.
Defensive Line Depth Chart, Ravens:
- Nnamdi Madubuike
- Travis Jones
- Broderick Washington
- C.J. Ravenell
- Adaday Odeleye
- Basil Okoye
The Ravens were arguably the top run defense in the league last season, finishing first in yards allowed per running back carry (3.5), sixth in negative run rate on those RB carries (20.7%), and first in yards after contact allowed per RB carry (2.35).
While Michael Pierce retired, the core of the 2024 unit returns for 2025.
Nnamdi Madubuike consistently made plays in the backfield last season, finishing with 14 run stuffs, sixth among qualified defensive linemen, and 6.5 sacks.
After signing a big deal last offseason, he is under contract through the 2027 season.
Travis Jones played the second most snaps along the defensive line, finishing with 12 run stuffs of his own and a tackle on 19.9% of his run defense snaps.
That tackle rate ranked fourth among qualified defensive linemen.
Broderick Washington rounds out the primary contributors from last season, though he did not stand out in any area.
Baltimore could upgrade on Washington’s spot, and Jones is scheduled to be a free agent after the season.
That makes this a place to watch in the draft.
EDGE Depth Chart, Ravens:
- Odafe Oweh
- Kyle Van Noy
- Tavius Robinson
- David Ojabo
- Adisa Isaac
- Malik Hamm
The Ravens recorded 54 sacks, the second most in the league, but their 33% pressure rate ranked 21st.
Kyle Van Noy led the team with 12.5 sacks, putting up a very good 13.8% pressure rate.
That rate was 25th among qualified pass rushers, and Van Noy now has 21.5 sacks and a 14.5% pressure rate in two seasons with the Ravens.
He is scheduled to be a free agent next spring, though, and is entering his age-34 season.
Odafe Oweh contributed 10 sacks of his own, but his 11.7% pressure rate was less impressive and a big falloff from where he was in 2023, though he only had 5 sacks that season.
Oweh will play 2025 on his fifth-year option, giving the Ravens a decision to make after the season.
David Ojabo finally got on the field for an extended time after playing 5 games in his first two seasons, but he did not shine in a rotational role, logging a 7.1% pressure rate.
He is also heading into a contract year.
Tavius Robinson did not do any better on more snaps, getting 3.5 sacks with a 7% pressure rate.
A third-round pick in 2024, Adisa Isaac struggled with injuries his entire rookie season, playing just 32 snaps.
Despite having a decent amount invested on the edge, the Ravens have a real need at pass rusher that is magnified by the contract concerns throughout the depth chart.
The Ravens could spend an early pick on this position group.
Linebacker Depth Chart, Ravens:
- Roquan Smith
- Trenton Simpson
- Jake Hummel
- William Kwenkeu
Baltimore lost Patrick Queen in free agency last year, but Roquan Smith continued to hold down the position.
Smith ranked first on the team with 17 run stuffs and recorded a tackle on 26.8% of his run defense snaps.
Those numbers ranked fifth and first among qualified linebackers.
He also ranked 13th among qualified linebackers in yards allowed per coverage snap.
A 2023 third-round pick, Trenton Simpson did not fare as well in his first taste of real action, allowing 3 touchdowns and a 121.4 quarterback rating in his coverage.
Malik Harrison and Chris Board rounded out the linebacker rotation last year, but both left in free agency.
Baltimore added Jake Hummel, but he was primarily a special teamer during his time with the Rams.
The Ravens could hope for development for Simpson, but at the very least, they need to add some depth to this unit.
They could also look to add a front-end talent early in the draft.
Cornerback Depth Chart, Ravens:
- Marlon Humphrey
- Nate Wiggins
- Chidobe Awuzie
- Jalyn Armour-Davis
- T.J. Tampa
The Ravens ranked 21st in yards per attempt allowed and 15th in defensive EPA per pass in 2024, but they were much better over the back half of the season.
From Week 11 on, they ranked first in yards per attempt allowed (5.8), first in explosive pass rate allowed (4.4%), third in touchdown rate allowed (2.2%), and first in defensive EPA per pass (0.15).
A lot of that improvement came down to moving Kyle Hamilton into a more natural safety position, but Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey also played a big role in the turnaround.
Humphrey played more from the slot over the back half of the season and ended up playing his most snaps in the slot since the 2020 season.
He was also excellent, allowing just a 60.9 quarterback rating in coverage and earning his second All Pro nod.
Wiggins also had a great rookie season, allowing a 66.7 quarterback rating in his coverage and finishing with 13 passes defensed.
Brandon Stephens was the other primary snap taker at corner, but he joined the Jets in free agency.
Chidobe Awuzie was brought in to fill that void, but he is coming off a tough and injury-shortened one year with the Titans.
A lot of guys who took snaps for the Ravens last year remain free agents, and they may dip into that pool to shore up the depth here.
They could also hope for more from T.J. Tampa, a 2024 fourth-round pick who played 18 snaps on defense across seven games as a rookie.
Then again, they could also look to spend more high-end draft capital here despite the talent at the top of the depth chart.
Safety Depth Chart, Ravens:
- Kyle Hamilton
- Ar’Darius Washington
- Sanoussi Kane
- Beau Brade
As mentioned above, Kyle Hamilton's move into more of a traditional safety role was the catalyst for Baltimore’s defensive turnaround in 2024.
He finished the season as the second highest rated safety over at PFF.
The Ravens will undoubtedly pick up his fifth-year option for the 2026 season, and they will likely work on getting him a long-term extension over the summer.
Not to be lost in the shuffle, Ar’Darius Washington played a big role in the defensive turnaround as well, stepping into the starting lineup in Week 8 and allowing just a 78.1 quarterback rating in coverage.
Kept on a restricted free agent tender this offseason – he has not technically signed the tender, but the deadline to sign with another team has passed – Washington is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
Last year was his first real taste of playing time in the NFL, so it will be interesting to see if the Ravens try to get ahead of his breakout with an extension or let him play out 2025 on the tender to see if he can do it again.
Either way, they have to add some more help at safety, and it would make sense to do that in the draft, given the uncertainty around Washington.
In fact, Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said he plans to draft “at least” one safety, pointing to Baltimore’s need at the position.
