Jesse Minter on the trenches
Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten were both solid and above average in 2026, while Tyler Linderbaum, who could depart, earned Pro Bowl honors.
The Ravens' offensive line struggled at times, with the very apparent weak spot at offensive guard. Daniel Faalele is a free agent and should depart, while Andrew Vorhees is a cut candidate. In 969 snaps, Vorhees allowed three sacks, and his 54.6 grade from PFF was 60th out of 81 offensive guards. Rookie Emery Jones Jr. spent most of the season rehabbing a shoulder injury, but he only had a 50+ PFF grade in the three games he was active.
Jesse Minter says he believes it's an "O-line, D-line-driven league."
