The offensive line wasn’t up to the necessary standards for the Baltimore Ravens last season. When that unit slips, everything feels harder, especially when your offense is built around a dynamic quarterback like Lamar Jackson and a rushing attack manned by Derrick Henry, among others.
Injuries, inconsistency, and depth concerns created challenges that Baltimore typically avoids or, at least, hopes to. With Joe Notebloom potentially headed toward free agency, reinforcements at tackle could quickly move from “nice to have” to “necessary.”

If the Ravens decide to invest early in the 2026 NFL Draft, it would seem like a wise move. They have drafted two O-linemen in Round 1 since 2016: Ronnie Stanley and Tyler Linderbaum.
Ronnie Stanley is a two-time Pro Bowler who was also named First-Team All-Pro in 2019. Roger Rosengarten mans the other side at right tackle, but depth and upgrades are needed. Here are some nice ideas for the draft board. Jot their names down if you haven’t already.
Spencer Fano’s versatility is obvious, having started at both tackle spots. He fits Baltimore’s preference for adaptable linemen who can move around when injuries hit.

His athleticism is obvious. So is his polish. He fits a scheme that asks tackles to block in space and handle extended plays when Jackson breaks the pocket and looks to create.
Baltimore has never been shy about drafting guys who are nice blends of size and power, on both sides of the ball. Proctor brings both in abundance. He is massive, and the always respectable SEC experience would help anchor the edge against AFC North pass rushers. If you noticed, that was something the Ravens struggled with at times in 2025.
Mauigoa’s combination of length and footwork makes him a plug-and-play candidate early in his NFL career. The high-level competition during the College Football Playoff doesn’t hurt either.

Any team hoping to stabilize the protection quickly should give him an extended look, including the Ravens. His impact on the running game and readiness could also be extremely appealing.
Experience matters, and Blake Miller has that in abundance, having cracked Clemson’s starting lineup since his freshman season. That type of seasoning often translates into quicker NFL adjustments.
He’d fall under the umbrella of immediate contributors, rather than a long-term project. He, like some of the other guys on this list, has the size to be considered for a possible transition to guard at football’s highest level.

Monroe Freeling brings SEC-level toughness and developmental upside. That’s exactly the type of prospect Baltimore has targeted in the past.
With proper coaching, he could grow into a long-term starter while providing early rotational depth, and again, with his size, he could probably be flipped to guard. He, Proctor, and Miller, at minimum, give Baltimore some options if the decision is made to move off Daniel Faalele.
