2026 NFL draft: What time will the Ravens pick in the first round?

It's draft day, and unlike the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, and New York Giants, Baltimore will pick in the middle of the first round. Their initial pick will come at No. 14 overall on night one.

Baltimore has 11 selections in the 2026 NFL draft: Picks: Nos. 14, 45, 80, 115, 154, 162, 173, 174, 211, 250, 253, giving Eric DeCosta the assets to maneuver up and down the draft board. For fans who aren't focused on where Fernando Mendoza, David Bailey, Arvell Reese, or Jeremiah Love may land, the Ravens flock could have a short first-round wait, especially if DeCosta moves up for a player he covets.

For fans and experts who are curious, we're projecting the exact time each NFL team made the 14th selection over the past five years:

New for 2026

The time between first-round selections has been shortened from 10 minutes to eight minutes. It’s the first timing adjustment since 2008, when the allotment dropped from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. The timing for Rounds 2-7 remains unchanged from last year.
