Baltimore Beatdown launched our Top 51 Big Board for the 2026 draft
yesterday afternoon, and now, we want your thoughts!Our initial rankings included brief write-ups for a number of the prospects we favor higher than the present consensus. And some early favorites for the Ravens like Olaivavega Ioane and Peter Woods are a bit lower on our list than many others. Here are some other observations:
- Pass rush/trenches: There are 13 edge rushers on our big board, including three in the top five and six in the top 20. Then there are another six defensive tackles, though none higher than Woods at 22, and 10 offensive linemen. Those trenches aren’t going to build themselves!
- Non-premium positions: It’s impossible to watch Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs, and Jeremiah Love and not come away with a first-round grade. And though the Ravens do not need help at their positions, they could still use the elite talent. These three are just too good to ignore.
- TE1 and only: Kenyon Sadiq was the only tight end to make our list, though I expect the position will have a much bigger presence when we expand our board to 100 players in the coming weeks.
So, which players are we missing from our top 51? Who have we listed that should not be there? Check out
our Big Board and let us know in the comments!
