Baltimore Ravens: How 2018 NFL Draft could save John Harbaugh’s job

Improving the offensive line can help them…Wynn

One the major problems with the Ravens has always been the front five. It’s not that they haven’t had good players, but rather that no group has lasted long enough to develop that great wall for Joe Flacco. This offseason, the Ravens have lost yet another lineman to free agency as Ryan Jensen who got a massive contract from Tampa Bay.

A year after losing Rick Wagner, Joe Flacco has to hope that Ozzie Newsome, future general manager Eric DeCosta and John Harbaugh will put together an offensive line that will give him the protection he needs. Thankfully, the Ravens found a left tackle in Ronnie Stanley to protect his blind side while 1/3 of their interior is set with the six-time Pro Bowler Marshal Yanda at right guard. However, there’s a glaring hole at right tackle, left guard — after the early injury to Alex Lewis last season — and of course at center.

Georgia offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn is the Swiss Army knife of offensive linemen. Technically, the 6-2, 300-pounder is a tackle. But because of his size, or lack thereof, many teams are projecting him to play guard at the pro level. Admittedly, Wynn’s not the 6-6 or 305+ pound offensive lineman Newsome and DeCosta are accustomed to drafting, but it’s said that Newsome values film and Wynn has that in spades.

The undersized tackle has proven that he’s a fantastic player with great athleticism, which allows him to dominate in pass protection, and his ability convert speed and strength into power makes up a great run blocker as well. There’s a chance that Wynn may go earlier than the middle of the second round, but if he’s available, he’d do wonders for the Ravens offensive front.
