Last offseason, the Ravens lost 14 players to free agency, eight of whom started at least six games. That allowed Baltimore to pick up the maximum of four compensatory picks for the 2025 NFL Draft, but they still had a ton of snaps to replace.
This year, the damage was minimal: just five players left in free agency, and only two were starters. Once again, the Ravens benefitted from the compensatory pick formula, despite fewer pending free agents. Four of the five departures qualified for the compensatory pick formula with a net gain of three 2026 picks after signing DeAndre Hopkins.
