Forrest Lamp, G, Western Kentucky

I’m surprised Lamp is still available. In his career at Western Kentucky he played largely at left tackle and he did it very well. Especially against Alabama this year. That game film was his statement game. So the fact he slid out of the first round did surprise.

In pass protection he will be above average for a guard. He is a good athlete and he moves well. His hands usage is good as are his feet. He could get stronger in the run game but he is still a good run blocker.

Forrest Lamp is the best offensive lineman in the draft in my opinion and he would fill a need for the Ravens. He would be a steal if the Ravens could draft in in the 2nd round. Though they’ll likely need to trade up to get him. Nevertheless, he would a steal.
