For several years now, the Ravens have neglected to address the center position via the draft or free agency. Instead, they’ve adopted a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to interior offensive lineman. The front office has added guards and centers both and shuffled them around, experimenting with different combinations.
However, it’s been quite awhile since the Ravens drafted a center and he transitioned into playing that same position in the NFL. The last time this happened was in 2013 when they landed Ryan Jensen in the sixth round. Jensen was groomed into a starting-caliber center but bolted in free agency in 2017 after pricing himself out of the Ravens’ range.
