Free agency left the Ravens with holes to fill as NFL draft nears, especially on the offensive line
It was clear from the start of this offseason that the Baltimore Ravens were going to lose quite a few players to free agency.
Now that the extent of those exits is a little more clear, they’ll have a chance to do some real adding — in the draft.
“Obviously, it’s always hard to see some of your favorite players go to other teams. I mean, that’s been a challenge,” general manager Eric DeCosta said. “But in terms of just being in a good spot, the vibe has been good. We’re building this team the right way.”
The Ravens did sign Derrick Henry to alleviate some concerns at running back, and they kept standout defensive lineman Justin Madubuike with a long-term deal, but some significant contributors to last season’s AFC North champions have departed. That includes three starters on the offensive line — guards Kevin Zeitler and John Simpson left as free agents and tackle Morgan Moses was traded.
