Offensive guard:
1st | 2nd | 3rd | |
Left guard | Bradley Bozeman | Ben Bredeson | Will Holden |
Right guard | Ben Powers D.J. Fluker |
Tyre Phillips | R.J. Prince |
Bozeman returns in the starting role at left guard after manning the position all of last season. But it would be foolish to not think both starting guard jobs are still up for competition this offseason too. While Bozeman has as close to a lock on that role as possible, Baltimore throwing everything against the wall there last offseason before making a late decision could point to even left guard not being settled.
However, all the talk is at right guard where seemingly everyone is going to get a chance at a starting job following Marshal Yanda’s retirement. Ben Powers was penciled in as the starter a few weeks ago but the addition to D.J. Fluker puts that into question now, seeing the pair likely at the top of the competition.
Behind them are the two draft picks, Bredeson and Phillips. Both will have a chance to make a push for the starting job but the Ravens have typically avoided rookies playing immediately on the offensive line. Their draft status puts them firmly in the mix still.
Behind them are two reserve players, Prince and Holden, who were with the team last season. They seem like longshots to land the starting job and are probably more fighting for a final roster spot more than anything.
