The 2025 NFL draft is over, and the Ravens did what they always do: navigated the board and came away with a deep and versatile class. Eric DeCosta added two elite defenders with their first two picks, solid depth at the offensive line, and the team's first kicker in the 30-year history of the Ravens franchise.

With the 141st pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected Alabama A&M offensive tackle Carson Vinson, making him the first HBCU player taken this year. It’s a major win not just for the Bulldogs, but for the entire HBCU football community.

Before that, former first round draft picks Zay Flowers (2023), Kyle Hamilton (2022), Tyler Linderbaum (2022), Rashod Bateman (2021), Odafe Oweh (2021), two-time MVP Lamar Jackson (2018), Marlon Humphrey (2017) and Ronnie Stanley (2016) remain key contributors for the Ravens.
