Offensively, Baltimore is expected to seek additional playmaking help to complement Jackson and stabilize the unit. A notable mock draft prediction from NFL.com’s Chad Reuter places a dynamic receiver in Baltimore’s sights at No. 14 overall, projecting the Ravens to select Ohio State wideout Carnell Tate.
Reuter highlights Tate’s strong hands and crisp route-running as tools that could elevate the Ravens’ passing attack, potentially allowing Jackson to offense to reach new heights alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. Tate’s college production—51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025—also demonstrates both big-play ability and reliability as a possession option.
If Tate lands in Baltimore, the envisioned offense would pair him with a still-productive Jackson, a veteran-running threat in Derrick Henry, and a receiving corps that could include DeAndre Hopkins’s eventual departure as a catalyst for Tate to step in as a key weapon. The scenario positions Tate as a versatile complement to Flowers, providing a threat that could stretch defenses and improve the Ravens’ overall efficiency.
As the off-season unfolds, rumors and evaluations around Baltimore’s roster moves will continue to shape expectations. Tate’s availability at the 14th pick—or potential trades—could influence how aggressively the Ravens pursue a new primary target and how the offense evolves under Minter’s leadership. The organization will closely weigh addition of a dynamic playmaker against other needs and the value of athletic versatility for Jackson’s weapons core.
