The Baltimore Ravens have added 10 new players via the 2020 NFL Draft and another five undrafted free agents to their roster. With the offseason ticking down to training camp, Baltimore is beginning to iron out how their depth chart looks to find holes they still need to address and what jobs are up for competition.
Though the Ravens returned 10 of their 11 starters from last season’s top-scoring unit, Baltimore actually has a lot more competition than you might think. Most of the starters are in place but players behind them will be jockeying not only for playing time come the regular season but the chance to make the 53-man roster at all.
With the roster as it stands following the 2020 NFL Draft and the few UDFAs they’ve actually signed, here’s how the Ravens’ depth chart is shaping up.
Quarterback:
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th |
| Lamar Jackson | Robert Griffin III | Trace McSorley | Tyler Huntley |
As if it wasn’t obvious beforehand, Jackson’s MVP win makes sure he’s cemented into the top spot on the depth chart. With such an obvious starter in place, the questions really begin right after him.
While Griffin has earned trade talk before and could still be traded this offseason, he brings the most experience at quarterback which makes him better suited as the guy who would replace Jackson if an injury occurred. A similar skill set as the rest of the bunch doesn’t hurt either, making sure his backup role isn’t in jeopardy.
With Griffin the better choice as Jackson’s backup, that puts McSorley firmly in the third-string role at this point. The Ravens kept him on the 53-man roster all last season, even though he was active for just one game. That speaks volumes about how Baltimore feels about McSorley, not wanting to risk putting him on the practice squad where he could get poached.
As is usual for most teams at this time of the year, a fourth quarterback was added to the mix to be used as a training camp arm. Still, I wouldn’t discount Huntley from impressing enough to at least put a little fire under McSorley.
