Interior offensive line
Marshal Yanda’s retirement hangs heavy over the Ravens roster. While Baltimore has a number of options already on the team to potentially replace Yanda, they might not want to risk a young player trying to replicate Yanda’s level of production.
Even if the Ravens aren’t looking for an outright replacement for Yanda, they’ll want to find more depth along the interior of the offensive line for a number of reasons.
For one, it’ll give them a much more complete competition for the starting right guard job this season. Considering it took every minute of training camp and the preseason to figure out who would start at left guard last season, it would be a wise decision to stack talent there this offseason too.
Center might also be a surprising question mark. Though both Matt Skura and Patrick Mekari played exceptionally well last season, Skura is coming off a nasty injury and is still a restricted free agent Baltimore might decide to not bring back. Bradley Bozeman is likely in the mix at right guard but could bounce back to center as well if needed, but it would obviously hurt the depth along the interior of the offensive line if he did.
The Ravens don’t necessarily need a big free agent or early draft pick here but finding depth players that can play both guard and center would be the best scenario. Otherwise, Baltimore could look to add a few players to their offensive line this offseason.
