Offensive Line: Ronnie Stanley, Ben Powers, Alex Mack, Wyatt Davis, Orlando Brown Jr.

After signing a contract that assures his children’s children are set for life this season, Ronnie Stanley returning to his post on the left side of the line in 2021 will be a sight for sore eyes, but more additions are still needed to get this unit into another stratosphere.

Ben Powers was pretty easily the most impressive of the revolving door of players that was the Ravens interior offensive line in 2020, and a year of more stability could really help him get his footing as a yearly consistent pro. Orlando Brown was a rock this year when seemingly everything else was falling apart up front, sliding him back to the right side where he’s more comfortable will be a welcomed move for him.

Alex Mack just finished the final year of his stint with the Atlanta Falcons, a stint in which he was still considered one of the best in the league at the center position. An old vet in the middle of the line, akin to Matt Birk at the end of his career, could provide some much-needed level-headedness and leadership to this young group (at a palatable price).

Next. Baltimore Ravens must invest in Lamar Jackson to win a Super Bowl. dark

Wyatt Davis, another Ohio State alumni, is ideally who I’d love to see the Ravens draft in the first round this year. An absolute mauler at the guard position, mean and nasty, and exactly the type of player who could realistically have a chance of filling Marshal Yanda‘s spot. The only fear is that he skyrockets up the draft board and gets taken before #27, given his immediate pro-readiness.

This offensive line group, with guys like Matt Skura, Bradley Bozeman, and Tyree Philips backing them up, would instantly be one of the best and deepest in football.
