In the latest seven-round mock, NFL analyst Chad Reuter projects Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green to Baltimore in the fifth round, at pick No. 173.
Green drew attention at the NFL combine for record-setting testing among quarterbacks, showcasing a sub-4.4-second 40-yard dash and exceptional leaping measurements that underscored his size and athleticism.
The Lewisville, Texas native began at Boise State, redshirting in 2021 and earning multiple accolades before transferring to Arkansas. Over the last two seasons with the Razorbacks, he threw for 5,868 yards and 34 touchdowns against 20 interceptions, added 1,379 rushing yards and 16 rushing TDs, and totaled 12,067 yards of offense with 94 touchdowns in four seasons as a starter.
scouts view Green as a raw, toolsy dual-threat with a high ceiling who will require significant development to reach his potential.
He also impressed veteran coaches, including Jon Gruden, who highlighted Green’s evident talent and potential after observing him in coaching sessions, suggesting he could become a top quarterback with the right development.
Ultimately, the Ravens’ draft considerations reflect a broader roster strategy: secure a dependable, long-term backup with upside that could be groomed behind Jackson, reducing future injury-related volatility at the position.
