Baltimore Ravens. Lloyd Cushenberry. 28. player. 26. . Interior Offensive Lineman

Ian: With the top three linebackers off the board, this pick for the Baltimore Ravens becomes a more challenging exercise. I thought about picking Jeremy Chinn here, as he has the profile to transition to linebacker at the next level, but I think it’s too soon for that kind of pick.

One area the Ravens can address, however, is interior offensive line. They only have one returning guard after Marshal Yanda’s retirement, and the team’s current center is 2019 undrafted rookie Patrick Mekari.

Now, Mekari actually played well as the team’s center in 2019, logging a 70.5 Pro Football Focus grade with 11 games and five starts under his belt. So the Ravens have some flexibility as to how they want to use this pick. Lloyd Cushenberry has the athleticism and length to file in at guard and develop there if Mekari remains at center, but Cushenberry also played center at LSU, so he has translatability there as well.
