5. Offensive Line

While the Baltimore Ravens took Ronnie Stanley, an offensive tackle in the first round with the sixth overall pick last year, the offensive line still remains somewhat uncertain.

Stanley, when healthy, was solid and should develop into a really good left tackle, and we all know how good All-Pro guard Marshal Yanda is, but outside of the two of them, the offensive line could use a little work, especially at the right tackle position.

Rick Wagner, the team’s right tackle this past year, is going to be a free agent, and while the team has competent backups in James Hurst and Ryan Jensen, they’re both free agents as well. Plus, they might not exactly be the best starters.

This isn’t something I personally think the team should address in the draft, there are bigger needs the team should address at the 16th overall pick, but the right tackle position should absolutely be addressed in free agency this offseason.
