1. Chris Lindstrom

Lindstrom is one of the most solid offensive line prospects in this draft class. He may not have Pro Bowl potential, but he’s going to become a good starter early in his professional career. That makes it very likely he’ll find his way into the bottom of Round 1.

The Ravens need a player just like LIndstrom to fortify the middle of their offensive line. He doesn’t excel in any one specific area, but he doesn’t have any weaknesses either. Lindstrom’s ability to use his body to effectively move defensive lineman makes him a great fit for the way Baltimore want to impose their will at the line of scrimmage.

The only thing that might prevent the Ravens from selecting Lindstrom here is if they want to try to trade down and settle for a slightly riskier prospect. That might be the right move for the franchise since they are currently without a second round pick. Lindstrom will be a solid starter, but there are prospects with higher upsides who will be available early in Day 2.

Next. Ravens are setting Lamar Jackson up for failure. dark

The Ravens are still a team that prioritizes physical play more than anyone in the NFL. That gives Lindstrom a great chance to go to Baltimore with the 22nd pick.
