The Baltimore Ravens have built up plenty of depth on their roster over the course of the 2022 offseason. While it’s a good problem to have what’s deemed as “too much” depth, that does mean potentially moving on from talented players that might have to be let go for nothing otherwise.
When listing off one player that each NFL team should place on the trade block, Alex Kay of Bleacher Report chose Ben Powers when it came to Baltimore. Kay discussed how the Ravens have a ‘logjam’ at the guard positions, with other players also making cases for roster spots and playing time.
“The Baltimore Ravens have a logjam at several positions right now. One of those is at guard, where several players are competing to earn the two starting jobs during training camp…Ben Powers could be one of the odd men out in a competition that will see Ben Cleveland, Kahlil McKenzie, Patrick Mekari, Tyre Phillips and Kevin Zeitler battling to top the depth chart.”
While Kevin Zeitler has the right guard position firmly in his possession, the left guard battle has been one of the biggest of training camp for Baltimore. Powers is competing with players such as Tyre Phillips, but if he ends up losing the job he could be a trade candidate based off of the Ravens’ other depth as well as the fact that he’s in the last year of his rookie contract.
