Ravens Draft Night: 14th Pick Soon

0:00It's April 23rd, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today Football News powered by AI. Baltimore Ravens fans, your weight for the first pick won't be too long this draft night. Unlike teams like the Raiders, Jets, Cardinals, Titans, and Giants grabbing early spots, the Ravens slide in at number 14 overall in the first round. They've got 11 total selections starting with 14, then 45, 80, and more down the line. That gives General Manager Eric DeCosta plenty of ammo to trade up or down if he spots a gem. Raven supporters might not sweat the top picks on guys like Fernando Mendoza or David Bailey landing elsewhere. Their flock could hear their name called, pretty quick, especially if DeCosta jumps ahead for a target. Looking back at the last five drafts, the 14th pick has dropped around 9.45 pm Eastern on average, times range from 9 pm to just after 10. Like when the Raven snagged Kyle Hamilton in 2022 at 9.46.

1:02Now for 2026, the league speeding things up, cutting first round clock from 10 minutes to 8 per pick, the first change since 2, 2008. So expect their Ravens call even sooner, keeping the night rolling smooth.
