T.J. Lang

The offensive line has been a struggle for the Ravens in 2016.

Injuries have plagued the line all season, most notably to rookie guard Alex Lewis. He was hurt in week 10 against the Browns and has not seen action since. His replacement, Vladimir Ducasse has held his own, but is set to be a free agent after this season. Right tackle Rick Wagner is also set to become a free agent. If both Ducasse and Wagner do not return, Packers lineman T.J. Lang is a player the Ravens should go after.

Lang has played most of his career at the guard position, but has the ability to play tackle as well. He reminds me of Marshall Yanda in the sense that he is a tough and hard-nose lineman that plays physical football. Along with Yanda, Lang can add a veteran presence to the Ravens offensive line. He can help mentor rookies Ronnie Stanley and Alex Lewis. Add him in with a healthy Stanley, Lewis, Yanda, Zuttah, and I like where the Ravens line is going.
