Right Tackle:

1. Rick Wagner: Wagner has been the right tackle since 2014, which was his second season. Wagner has been a great run blocker. There are times when his pass protection could be better; he struggles with speed off the edge. For the most part however, Wagner is a strong presence at right tackle. If you noticed a common theme, the Ravens have good run blockers.

Wagner has only missed one start since taking the right tackle job. As injury plagued as the Ravens were last season, the Ravens have to love Wagner’s durability. There are few players tougher than Wagner.

2. Alex Lewis: The Ravens will probably keep eight offensive linemen. The good news about the Ravens backups is that they can all play multiple positions. While you may not want him on the left side, Lewis could be the understudy, on the right.
