The Ravens have selected offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. out of LSU to help fortify their offensive line.
With the No. 91 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected LSU offensive tackle Emery Jones Jr.
After addressing other needs with their first two picks, the Ravens have now addressed their greatest offensive need by adding Jones, who was named back-to-back Second Team All-SEC.
Here’s what the Ravens are getting in Green:
Stats & Accolades
- 2022: Started as a true freshmen. Played 14 games (12 starts). Started at right tackle two games into the season. Freshman All-American; Freshman All-SEC; enrolled June 2022
- 2023: Second Team All-SEC missed one game (left ankle)
- 2024: Second Team All-SEC; missed bowl game (opt-out)
What the Ravens are getting:
A productive, consistent blocker who started for three years at LSU under Offensive Coordinator Joe Sloan, who used a pass-centric, inside-outside zone scheme. Not as consistent as No. 4 overall pick and LSU teammate Will Campbell, but was a solid blocker. Allowed only three sacks in past two seasons (996 pass block snaps). Needs run game technique refinement and can become undisciplined at times, both things that can be coached. He can compete both at right tackle, but will likely start at guard.
Strengths (From The Athletic’s Dane Brugler)
- Built well with wide frame and long arms to protect the edges
- Quick vertical sets and relies on punches to maximize length
- Savvy use of independent hands to reset/answer various rush moves
- Patient and anchors at shallow depth
- Play strength evident in run game
- Strains to neutralize and finish move blocks
- Smooth footwork and understands spacing on pulls and combos
- Young player but matured quickly (Brian Kelly: “He is never late to anything. He is reliable. This is a guy that we can count on.”)
- Started 36 games in three years
Weaknesses (Brugler)
- Inconsistent landmarks in pass protection (see 2024 Ole Miss tape)
- Late to redirect momentum and counter versus inside moves
- Guilty of throwing hands too early, which disrupts balance and recovery
- Needs to better keep head on a swivel, especially against twists and simulated pressures
- Five false start penalties in 2024 (four on the road)
- Want to see him play meaner in run game, instead of just getting in the way
- Late to pick up moving targets on short pulls
- Almost all college snaps (98.3 percent) came at right tackle (also played tackle in high school)
- Missed one game after spraining his left ankle as sophomore (Oct. 2023); Missed part of draft process because of left labrum injury (expected to be cleared June 2025)
