Knee-Jerk Reactions: Ravens Wrap Up 2026 Draft with a Punter, DE, & G
In the final two rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected:
6th Round (211 Overall)
Punter Ryan Eckley (Michigan State)
7th Round (250, 253 Overall)
DE Rayshaun Benney (Michigan)
G Evan Beerntsen (Northwestern)
Some quick thoughts here…
Darin McCann
Ryan Eckley is a punter. That’s all I got.
Rayshaun Benny is a penetrating defensive lineman who was compared to Geno Atkins on the CBS draft page. He’s a body to put in the mix of a position group short on penetrators. He’ll get a real shot at both making the team and earning reps.
Evan Beerntsen was the Tommy Boy of college football, spending seven years in that level and accumulating 51 starts. Somewhat limited, NFL.com’s Lance Zerlein said Beerntsen is a solid blocker who might thrive at center.
Jared Pinder
I guess that wraps things up for this year. You had a feeling the Ravens were going to take a punter. Eckley apparently has a great leg; however, I don’t do much punter analysis. The Ravens did need a punter so I guess Eckley is next up.
Benny was always a favorite pick of mine in mock drafts because of his play style and his connections with the new coaching staff. While Beerntsen is the type of hard ass you kind of need on your offensive line.
While they are both seventh round picks I do feel pretty confident about these guys working out. What a draft season this has been.
Chad Racine
Eric DeCosta closes out with no real surprises, acquiring depth in the trenches at guard and defensive tackle and a punter. The biggest surprise of the entire draft was not drafting a center. As I mentioned in my previous round reaction, the Ravens clearly have a plan at center that we’re unaware of. I suspect that both Andrew Vorhees and Emery Jones have been working on playing center this offseason. Or maybe a trade is in the cards. Now they’ll be extremely busy signing undrafted free agents to fill the 90-man roster because as it stands now, they’re roster has a long way to go to get to 90.
