Ravens’ OL Roster Outlook

Assuming Pocic can beat out Danny Pinter, Corey Bullock, and Jovaughn Gwyn to start in the middle, he’ll join returning starting tackles Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten on the first-team offense. The guard spots are expected to go to free agent addition John Simpson, who returns to Baltimore after two seasons in New York, and rookie first-round pick Olaivavega Ioane. According to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, the team’s third- and fifth-round picks from 2025, Emery Jones Jr. and Carson Vinson, are Baltimore’s top backup tackle options.

Assuming they’re locked into roster spots alongside the starting group, Zrebiec predicts that only two or three spots would be left on the eventual 53-man roster. Pinter, Bullock, Gwyn, and undrafted rookie Nick Dawkins represent depth options for a necessary backup center spot, last year’s starter at left guard Andrew Vorhees, 2025 UDFA Jared Penning, and seventh-round rookie Evan Beerntsen will compete as options at guard, and undrafted rookie Diego Pounds adds another tackle option.

Vorhees and Pinter seem like obvious keeps for the interior line, given their starting experience. Vorhees graded out last year as the 59th-best guard (out of 79 players graded at the position), per Pro Football Focus (subscription required), and Pinter only has 10 starts in six years, but both likely would have been in line for starting jobs had Simpson and Pocic not arrived in free agency. The staff in Baltimore has shown a lot of faith in Bullock’s potential since signing the undrafted lineman last year, so if they plan on holding 10, he could be the last guy.

That would leave Pounds, Penning, Beerntsen, Gwyn, and Dawkins on the outside looking in. It wouldn’t be too surprising to Pounds and Dawkins fall short as undrafted rookies, and Penning spent his rookie year on the practice squad and could find his way back in Year 2. Gwyn was a low-cost swing at interior OL depth, so his loss wouldn’t be too hard to swallow. If the team waives Beerntsen, it would be the second year in a row that Baltimore drafted a seventh-round lineman who failed to make the initial 53.

Training camp is a week away, and there’s still plenty of time for some of those last few players to make something happen. But after today’s key signing, the picture of the Ravens’ offensive line is starting to clear up.
