The Baltimore Ravens' offseason has been a little up and down, but the franchise still has some glaring needs as the draft approaches.

With Tyler Linderbaum now with the Las Vegas Raiders, the Ravens' offensive line doesn't look as stout as it once did.

With there still being some quality free agents out there waiting for a phone call, Baltimore still has plenty of options.

And for Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport, he thinks the Ravens should go after Ethan Pocic.

"Ethan Pocic may not be the player he once was,” Davenport wrote. “The 30-year-old also missed four games last year. But in 826 snaps last year with the Cleveland Browns, Pocic allowed just two sacks and committed just two penalties per PFF.

"The Ravens have the cap space to add Pocic, and he may well welcome the opportunity to play for a contender."

Ravens have to help Lamar

Yes, the franchise signed Trey Hendrickson to help the defense, but make no mistake, the Ravens will only go as far as Lamar takes them.

Which means putting as much talent around him as possible is key here.

Fixing the offensive line and potentially adding another weapon in the draft must be done, as the Ravens' offense needs to be the straw that stirs this team's drink.

Will it happen? Who knows, but signing Pocic is a good start.

But far more is needed if Baltimore is going to seriously challenge in 2026.
