It was a near consensus the Ravens needed to address their interior offensive line in the 2024 NFL Draft. They watched both veteran starting guards John Simpson and Kevin Zeitler sign elsewhere in the offseason which generated concern from pundits and the public over how they could replace the new absences in the draft. But the draft came and went without a guard being selected by Baltimore.
Admittedly, part of that was due to the way the board fell. General Manager Eric DeCosta said what happened on Day 2 after taking offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten in Round 2 was something they’ve never experienced in their board getting wiped out for offensive line.
