4. Jeremy Zuttah

The Ravens struggled this season on the offensive line, especially center Jeremy Zuttah.

Zuttah was one of the lone offensive lineman to stay healthy, but he was constantly on the back-end of glaring problems for the line. In a key game against the Dallas Cowboy’s, the center was flagged on three separate occasions. The penalties stalled big plays and killed drives for the Raven’s offense. I think this is one of the most likely scenarios, especially with his struggles last season.

This year, the center will be the 3rd highest paid offensive lineman on the team behind Marshal Yanda and Ronnie Stanley. With the upcoming draft, there is a good chance the Ravens could cut Zuttah and go young at the position. Backup guard John Urschel has also played at the center position and is familiar with snapping the ball to Joe Flacco.
