Before you get excited that the Ravens added a former number one pick and a former Pro Bowl offensive tackle, remember that Jake Long is not the player he used to be. Long’s career has been devastated by injuries. Despite being a shell of what he used to be (he was possibly the best tackle in the NFL), Long was a great addition to the roster.
Long adds to the Ravens offensive line depth. He is a player that acts as an insurance policy to Ronnie Stanley at the left tackle position. The Ravens did not bring in Long because they don’t trust Stanley.
