Baltimore lost their prize free agent when

Kelechi Osemele

defected to the Oakland Raiders during free agency.

Cody Whitehair

gives them a similar player that can play both guard and tackle at the next level.

The former Wildcat was named to the freshman All-American team and earned All-Conference honors in his final three seasons. He earned second-team accolades as a guard last season and was named to the All-Big 12 first team at left tackle this season.

Whitehair has not garnered the same attention as some of the other top offensive lineman in this year’s class, but he has the ability to step in right away and fill the void left by Osemele. He is durable, an important trait for offensive linemen, as he started 50 of 51 games in college.

One of the last things K.O. said about his former team is that they don’t value their offensive line. Pretty shock seeing how he was a former second-rounder himself. Just to stick it to him, the Ravens take another highly coveted swing player in the second round and turn him into another monster on the interior of their offensive line.
