The Ravens don’t need another safety. Here are a few they could draft anyway.
The Ravens should not spend premium draft capital on a safety, but there are still plenty of Day 3 targets.

All-Pro Kyle Hamilton is a master of all trades with unmatched versatility and ability to affect the game in all three phases.
2025 first-rounder Malaki Starks flashed as a high-upside playmaker on the back end during his rookie year, and former Patriots Jaylinn Hawkins was a value signing in free agency to serve as the No. 3 in 2026. In other words, the Ravens do not need to draft a safety this weekend.
But this is a team that loves to invest in their secondary with a former defensive backs coach now leading the team. Spending a premium pick would be unwise, but do not rule out a safety selection entirely (especially with 11 picks! ).
